Senator Cory Booker is telling a great story of Alice Paul and the good trouble she got into protesting for Women’s Sufferage, jailed for it, force fed to break her hunger strike, the free press covering it, and upon release President Woodrow Wilson joining her in the call for women’s Right to Vote. https://youtube.com/live/v2utlMxAwtE
Kudos to Senator #AngusKing and all the other senators who are pitching in to help #CoryBooker keep the focus on the harms being being perpetrated by the #MangoMussolini and #ApartheidClyde -- especially on #Veterans and #women

My other Senator #AdamSchiff was welcomed by Sen #CoryBooker as another #vegan
Schiff says: "They're going after the press ... because they can and they will continue to do so until we in this country stand up to them and tell them NO YOU CAN'T."
New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker has held the Senate floor with a marathon speech that lasted more than 25 hours. He set the historic mark to show Democrats’ resistance to President Donald Trump’s sweeping actions. Booker took to the Senate floor Monday evening and finished Tuesday evening. He broke a record set 68 years ago by then-Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, a segregationist, to filibuster the advance of the Civil Rights Act in 1957. Booker invoked the civil rights leader Rep. John Lewis of Georgia, arguing that changing history requires the public to get involved.
Booker just said he doesn’t want the disneyfication of history, the whitewashing of history, he wants the wretched truth.
He is, of course, referring to the bullshit where the trump admin takes down its government websites highlighting the achievements of Black veterans and astronauts, or women astronauts, LGBTQ pioneers, or anyone they throw into the bucket of “not a white guy”.
I need to go back and look at a gajillion bookmarks to track who they’re removing now!
As always, I’m behind. Schiff is actually asking a question now.
"We have bent the arc of the moral universe and now is that moral moment again."

📰 Peace on Putin’s terms would lead to a new era of international insecurity
As Trump seeks to end the war in Ukraine, it is apparent that any peace on Putin’s terms would signal the dawn of a dangerous new era marked by mounting instability, international aggression, and the looming threat of nuclear war, writes Oleksandr Merezhko.
Examples of what Trump gutted today (there's more):
- CDC’s Vessel Sanitation Program, which helps the cruise industry prevent public health issues, inspects cruises, and provides information on outbreaks
- Lead Poisoning branch that works to eliminate childhood lead
- the Asthma and Air Quality Branch, which focuses on minimizing nonoccupational human exposure to air pollutants, carbon monoxide, mold, and wildfires
