25 hrs in America: Thankful that everytime S. Thurmonds speech against civil rights is mentioned we can say that @booker.senate.gov now holds the record. That instead of limiting rights, as ST did Booker tried to sway hearts/minds to save our Democracy.

That is a record that NEEDS to be broken.
If Sen. Cory Booker makes it to 7:19 p.m. EST, he will break segregationist Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond's record for his 24 hour 18 minute Senate floor speech against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

Are you watching? @booker.senate.gov has been speaking for over 18 hours. I don't know what this will do but I honor the effort.
“These are not normal times in our nation,” Sen. Cory Booker said. “And they should not be treated as such in the United States Senate. The threats to the American people and American democracy are grave and urgent, and we all must do more to stand against them.” to.pbs.org/443mU11

If you need a little joy right now and like musicals just let yourself experience the magic of #Wicked. Is it a long movie? Yes. Is it only half the story? Yes.
It does not matter. The entire cast is flawless, the voices are phenomenal, and BONUS there is an amazing library.
