You probably know about this already but I just found out Sen. #CoryBooker & Rep. #HakeemJeffries are leading a sit-in on the Capitol steps in #DC to #protest tomorrow’s vote to gut #Medicaid. They’re asking folks to come out to support them. If we make enough noise, maybe other elected officials will get off their asses and show up too.

👉This is Sen. Booker’s live IG feed, but it’s probably available elsewhere too: instagram.com/senbooker/live/1

The Dems are escalating, the head of their team in Congress is going out to see if Kilmar is dead or alive.
Silence of course, from Westminster, if this were Russia disappearing people like this we'd hear about it...

The Guardian · Cory Booker to visit El Salvador in effort to return wrongly deported man to USBy Chris Stein

Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours and barely mentioned Gaza. That’s no surprise

#US politicians and the media are focused on our domestic crisis. But we cannot close our eyes to the outside world

"...hours into his 25-hour speech on the Senate floor, the #Democrat #CoryBooker uttered the word “Gaza”. He was not talking about the war. He stepped nowhere near the 50,000 Palestinians killed by the Israeli armed forces since 8 October 2023, or the US’s military and political support of the genocide.

Rather, #Booker was searching for a particularly ludicrous lie... “There are lies about USAID, ... like 5 million condoms going to Gaza or something outrageous,” he said. Considering the other outrageous things #Trump has said about #Gaza – such as his plan to “clean out” the strip to make room for luxury resorts – the remark felt trivializing."

#AlarmBells are going off in a sign that says "No! No! No! No!" and nothing else.

One sign says "#Impeach the #FelonInChief"

"This is a #MoralMoment. It's. not #Left or #Right, but Right or Wrong" — #CoryBooker

Someone with a #NationalParkService decal says "I Wish #Trump Would Pet a Bison" — very creative!

Then there's the #DumpTrump sign.

In the back there's "Free Books, Free Minds, Support #IMLS & Your Local #Library. …#DOGE #SHANKKK"

"Hands Off #NATO"

"The momentum is shifting. Wisconsin was a decisive win. Gaps in Florida’s US House districts are narrowing. And Democratic Senator Cory Booker just shattered segregationist Strom Thurmond’s record in congress with a 25-hour protest speech – a symbolic moment, but one that suggests renewed energy on the left."

"Authoritarians want us to feel hopeless and helpless. It’s up to us to show them that we will not submit quietly and that we believe in struggle and collective action. Like Sen. Booker, each one of us can do something, using the spaces and means we have, to meet this moment with the same resilient and resolute spirit he showed on the Senate floor."
