Cory Booker stood up for us today against the nomination of Jeff Sessions
He's kind of my fucking hero.
He understands how detrimental the appointment of Jeff Sessions as attorney general will be to our progress in civil rights and criminal justice reform.
Sessions could roll back even the small gains we've made over the last eight years in the nonsensical war on drugs.
While I don't know if we can stop Sessions from being confirmed, we have to do everything we can. I am grateful that Booker is up there fighting for us and telling it like it is. It gives me hope.

He integrated schools and took down the leader of the KKK in Alabama. Yeah definitely a threat to civil rights settle down with this bs hysteria.
Sure, you can point out those things.
But if you read through his opening statement, you'll see the coded language of an intended crack down on drug users. It's clear to me that he heavily associates drug use with crime, and he's trying to use crime to worm his way into the hearts and minds of americans.
We could argue back and forth about his record if you want, but at the end of the day he is not good for drug users or drug enthusiasts, period.
