The claim: Democrats held the nation’s longest filibuster for 75 days to attempt to prevent the passing of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
When senators want to put the brakes on legislation, they talk. And talk. And talk some more. That's called a filibuster.
Who holds the record for the longest filibuster? Recently a claim has made the rounds: "In 1964, on the floor of the U.S. Senate, Democrats held the longest filibuster in our nations history, 75 days. All trying to prevent the passing of one thing. The Civil Rights Act."
One Facebook user shared a post with the claim on social media on June 5. She did not respond when asked if she had any additional comments.
The Senate’s website states that the “longest continuous debate in Senate history” was about the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Prior to passing the act, Southern congressmen signed the “Southern Manifesto” to resist racial integration by all “lawful means,” states the Library of Congress’ exhibit, “The Civil Rights Act of 1964: A Long Struggle for Freedom.”
The Library of Congress website states the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights led to an attempt to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
The Senate site states President John F. Kennedy supported the act prior to his assassination and that President Lyndon B. Johnson encouraged Congress to pass the act in honor of Kennedy and to “end racial discrimination and segregation in public accommodations, public education, and federally assisted programs.”
Emanuel Celler, a New York Democrat, introduced the House’s version of a resolution on June 19, 1963, that would become the Civil Rights Act, according to an article in Smithsonian Magazine.
The House passed the bill on Feb. 10, 1964. It moved to the Senate on Feb. 26, 1964, and was placed on the Senate’s Judiciary Committee’s calendar, the Senate’s website states. The committee was chaired by civil rights opponent James Eastland of Mississippi.
According to Senate history, the issue was moved for consideration on March 9, 1964, when “Southern senators launched a filibuster against the bill,” with debates lasting 60 days.
In the days right before October 7th something big was happening in Israel. Massive protests hit the streets of Tel Aviv demanding a new government. They wanted the overthrow of the corrupt Netanyahu government. They KNEW It Was Coming — The Truth About October 7th and Netanyahu’s Cover-Up | Redacted - YouTube The “they knew” charge rests on a stack of documented warnings and post-attack admissions that—taken together—paint a picture of systemic negligence, not yet a proven conspiracy: Egyptian officials say they alerted Israel days in advance; Israeli media and the New York Times reported a detailed Hamas blueprint (“Jericho Wall”) seen by Israeli intelligence a year earlier but discounted as aspirational; and multiple IDF spotters testified their alerts about unusual Hamas training and border activity were ignored amid broken cameras, lax procedures, and faulty assumptions that Hamas was deterred; Israel’s own agencies have since cataloged failures while the state comptroller moves ...
This looks like a clear attack on Federal Agents. I’ve heard the rumors; this is the first video that backs them up.

Every generation thinks it is seeing the world for the first time. That feeling is powerful, but it hides a problem: we keep losing hard-won lessons to speed, noise, and convenience. How many of you feel like what we think we know about history is only a fragment. Something that has been extracted from history and then rewritten countless times across the millennia? The Great Forgetting The Great Forgetting is not a single event. It is a steady drift—memories of how things broke, how we fixed them, and what the fix actually cost—slipping out of view just when they’re needed most. Part of this is mechanical. Digital life rewards the new over the true. Feeds reset every morning. Search engines favor recent takes. Platforms bury corrections beneath fresh outrage. Long reports get replaced by short clips. Over time, the archive becomes a blur, and people think this week’s headline is unprecedented when an almost identical fight happened five, ten, or fifty years ago. Part of it is in...
