THE PITT 1.14 "8:00 P.M."
Reblogged theawkwardterrier
NJ Democrat senator Cory Booker takes the floor in protest of Trump/Musk, "saying that he will keep going “'as long as I am physically able'.”
“I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able,” Booker said at the outset of his remarks. “I rise tonight because I believe sincerely that our country is in crisis.”
“In just 71 days, the president of the United States has inflicted so much harm on Americans’ safety; financial stability; the core foundations of our democracy. “These are not normal times in America. And they should not be treated as such in the United States Senate.” -source
I am posting this at 2:30am EST. He has been speaking since 7PM EST. This link (at this moment) is to a live stream.
FUCK YEAH, JERSEY!
So very proud of my state at the moment.
Reblogging and adding the livestream link from Senator Booker's YouTube (the other one was glitching) . It is almost 4am. He is still going STRONG. If you are watching and plan to go to sleep, turn the volume down and leave it up so that the "watching" number reflects the involvement of people supporting him.
If he can LITERALLY stand and protest as a single voice, we can keep it playing and symbolically stand with him.
Senator Booker is on Hour 13 and going STRONG
Yeah! That’s what I’m talking about. No business as usual! Slow the Fascists down! He should get some Democrat colleagues to join him so they can periodically cede to each other and spell each other off to keep it up longer!
STILL GOING! If you can open up the livestream to show support.
Other Democrats have piped up with questions: Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., Sen. Andy Kim of New Jersey, Sen. Peter Welch of Vermont, Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Sen. Tina Smith of Minnesota, Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware, Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey of Massachusetts, Sens. Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland, Sen. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire and Sen. Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico.
He's not up there reading the phone book, either, which is what previous people who spoke for this long have done. He's stayed talking coherently about Trump's policies.
If you don't see your senator on that list, give them a call with a question they can ask!
It should be noted that he's at 18 hours.
The longest time anyone has ever held the Senate floor was Strom Thurmound, in protest of the Civil Rights Act.
T'would be very satisfying for a Black man to surpass that mark...
24 hours and 19 minutes would beat the Strom Thurmond record
If you have been feeling gaslit or frustrated recently by the response by Dems to the last 70ish days, this has been very good to watch.
Strom '3 days older than dirt' Thurmond. He might have invented slavery, too.

This is so funny to me.
ETA: He hasn't apologised to Vance, mind you. He's apologised to the public for his language.
Meanwhile:
The federal treasurer, Jim Chalmers, was asked to respond to Cook’s comments, and said he would have chosen “different words”. [X]
I appreciate that everyone has bent over backwards to avoid actually eliding the sentiment.
i think the real problem is that's not an insult most of MAGA would likely understand. Call him a dipshit instead.
Ah. Well, I'm sorry if this lacked context for my American readers, but this is a local leader commenting on world politics. He is specifically commenting on a meeting between representatives of Ukraine and the USA, sure, but he is commenting to Western Australians, not MAGA.
Western Australia definitely knows what a man means when he calls someone a knob.
Gotcha. I think the spirit's pretty close anyway. I wonder what it would be in other cultures.
Cock or equivalent, probably.
Could call him a "fucking bitch," that's the translation of what President Zelenskiy called him. ("<i>suka blyat</i>") Source: my polyglot beloved.

STOP. moment of gratitude for those precious times of breathing from your nostrils when you don't have a stuffy nose
Everyone who doesn't have a headache right now, stop right now for a moment and appreciate how good it is not to have a headache.
At this moment. I do not have a headache. It is wonderful.

Hey- if you're still taking prompts for ficlet Friday- Bucky and #31- pinky swear.
Oh, this is sweeet! How about more of our drunk!Bucky before that night out?
Pinky Swear
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Female Reader
Word Count: Over 800
Warnings: Talk of fear of heights, backstory, slight angst, slight fluff
A/N: Takes place before Pretty Girl.
Bucky deeply inhaled the cool evening air and exhaled slowly. He hadn't moved from his spot on the outdoor sofa since he sat down, but he knew the number of steps it would take to get from his seat to the door. Looking at the rooftop guardrail, he reminded himself it was more than tall and sturdy enough to prevent anyone from falling. He was fine. Everything was fine.
OMG THIS IS SO SWEET!! And as someone with a fear of heights, I feel his panic.

Bucky didn’t make small talk when he came back to the table with his second helping. You sat for maybe a minute before you went to clean out your bowl. As pretty as he was to look at, it felt rude to sit there and watch him eat and you weren’t going to force him to chat. Standing at the sink, you felt him staring at you. He didn’t look away either when you snuck a glance at him. He looked fascinated and you couldn't imagine why.
