Sen. #CoryBooker says the biggest mistake #Democratic Party has made is ‘not centering people enough’.

Ironically, some who themselves try to divide #Democrats into "us" vs "them" will accuse him of taking money from #Russia to divide Democrats. For them, the #DoNothing senators are knowledgeable and experienced — They believe #SchumerCanDoNoWrong, and everybody else questioning him is a #Kremlin agent 🙄

You can't solve a problem unless you first #acknowledgeTheProblem

#Chicago #HandsOff #Protests

#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."
