Longest speaking filibuster ever was 24 hours, 18 minutes by Strom Thurmond in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

In a few hours, that record will be shattered by Sen. Cory Booker, a Black man, laying out the case for saving democracy from an aspiring despot.

Sagan was a prophet.

Birthright citizenship is on the lips and minds of many, given yesterday’s “executive order.” Recommend Martha Jones’s book to those seeking to inform themselves about the context of this concept.

“No no no he said ‘sieg hi!’ not ‘sieg hiEL!’ He was just saying hello!” - our nation’s esteemed d students

Crazy to think that just 4 years ago Amanda Gorman read The Hill We Climb

Thank you Dr. King Jr, for your leadership and your care for humanity over money. May we not grow weary of continuing your legacy.

Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.

the TikTok algorithm is so good that it even served up the perfect video to act as the background for its ban announcement

It seems clear to me that this whole TikTok ban has turned into a PR stunt for Trump. The error message you see when you try to access the app praises Trump, even though he’s the one who started this whole thing. TikTok will be back, but what backdoor deals have been made? What’s the cost?
