Cory Booker, Al Green, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are the only 3 Democratic politicians who are loudly standing up against the fascist regime, coincidentally they are all people of color

They understand what's at stake.
@ScruffyJunco I also feel like people of color understand that we have to stand up because we have been forced to advocate for ourselves and others our whole lives
Absolutely. I'm reading "The Trouble with White Women: A Counterhistory of Feminism" by Kyla Schuller and it's really opening my eyes. As a white woman, I have a lot to learn from activists of color.
I saw this good news this morning about another one ready to say "enough is enough"...

It only changes *all* people of colour to *mostly*, and the question of standing up vs. standing up loudly, so your point absolutely stands.
@ElwoodCity I'm happy to see this, thank you for sharing. I waw originally going to include Bernie Sanders in my post, but removed him when I remembered he's a Social Democrat and mainstream Democrats tend to shun him. That's when I realized the vocal Democrats all shared that one trait.
The article said that it could come to a vote sometime today, but obviously not until sometime after Cory Booker wears out.
I just turned on the live stream, and he is still going strong.
