I remember the 24 hour meditation session at ABC Home! Thank you for reminding us that whether we are sitting or standing, we can rise up with our spiritual energy towards a more sane world.
I agree. HOWEVER, I think he and others dem senators and house members desperately need to DO something beyond just talk, or even meditating. In my mind and personal experience our buddhist practice MUST include rightful ACTION. Booker has sadly apparently voted to confirm every crazy clown car nazi in trump's cabinet in his first and now second presidency, including for justices and judges. How is that rightful action or opposition to hurtful regime policies etc? I'm honestly confused and frustrated beyond belief, as are most Americans, on why all we get is talk, zero action, possibly because, again, sadly the drm party is also controlled by wall street, corporate baron donors and yes OLIGARCHS. Eeeeeeeeek. I don't know what the answer is but whatever it is it's effing SCARY :-)
He did in 2016 I think...I'll double check. But in general Booker is a Republican light at best, refuses medicare for all universal healthcare due to his big pharmaceutical donors from NJ etc. I'm not singling him out. They all do really except Bernie Sanders. Sadly the democratic party is also highly corrupt and bought by wall street, other oligarchs, just they're not yet nazis (what a low bar?)...but in my mind are much like the France Vichy government when Hitler occupied france...enabler collaborators...stood silent or aided and abetted. The Dems won't save us, I'm 1000% convinced. We the people have to somehow manage to save ourselves thru solidarity, mutual aid, shutting crap down like strikes etc? I think. But we are in uncharted waters. We have supervillains but no superheroes...? !

I don’t think he voted to confirm the majority of trump’s nominees. Source?
Here’s what I found. He’s not on the list of most unilaterally opposing votes, but definitely has opposed the majority. Yes, I wish they all opposed every single one. https://ballotpedia.org/How_senators_voted_on_Trump_Cabinet_nominees,_2025
