I'd just like to clarify some things about Senator Cory Booker's marathon Senate speech in protest of the present administration and everything they are doing to the American people.
Senator Booker was NOT allowed to sit down, eat, or use the bathroom during his speech. Sitting or leaving the room to use the bathroom would be considered yielding the floor. Eating would have interfered with his speaking and the person who has the senate floor must continue to speak, except when listening to questions that they will then answer.
He only took occasional sips of water.
The person who previously held the record for longest speech on the Senate floor did have bathroom breaks and also did things like read from the encyclopedia.
Senator Booker did not do that. His speech was to point out the damage that this administration is doing and he stayed on that subject.
Senator Booker's speech did reach many people. It wasn't a silly stunt that was done so that he could take the record for longest speech. He wanted to show the country that democrats will do something to bring attention to the problems we are facing. That democrats are listening to them.
Senator Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours and 4 minutes to "make good trouble."

side bar if yall r on 'me/tas' internet its time to drop the jokes abt how shit like pew pew and unalive ect is 'silly/stupid/dramatic' when it was a linguistic shift resulting from Black creators on TikTok primarily getting shadow banned for talking abt literally anything vaguely political (so often their own lived exp bc we live in a fkn society)
doing what we can to get the Actual Message message through is a win yall, and if self censoring results in ridiculous words being used in place of things like 'gun' 'murder' ect, then I'd rather that than the message never getting out in the first place.
(not to mention a Lot of the stuff having to be censored to make sure it made it past Algo was shit like white to 'palm coloured' and shit like that. pls have some fkn respect for the workarounds is all im saying)
