Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits
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.

I continue to feel separated in every meaningful way from people who think this is okay. I’m not sure being their neighbor or their fellow citizen is an achievable or desirable goal.

Dead naming and refusing to use someone’s preferred pronouns tells the world you are just a flaming asshat who hates himself.
So thrilled to know that’s what is masquerading for courage in Washington these days.

The apocryphal Margaret Mead saying was the first sign of human civilization wasn't tools or human artifacts but human skeletons leg w/bones that had healed.
Breaking a leg was a death sentence without others to care for, defend, & feed the injured person.
Mead may not have said it but it's true.

Every one of these rich freaks is on a personal mission to remove functions of their basic humanity because they realize if people have any sense of basic humanity they will not be fans of rich freaks
Musk states "the fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy". Charles Darwin, who actually researched this stuff, showed it was empathy, specifically, that enabled humanity to flourish.
