Notably, Booker is still talking about policy and staying on message. Much earlier into their own filibusters, Ted Cruz was reading Green Eggs and Ham and Thurmond was reading from the phone book.
Booker has surpassed Proxmire's 16 hour, 12 minute filibuster on the debt ceiling to claim the fifth longest filibuster in US history. He's coming up on La Follette's 18 hour, 23 minute filibuster on Aldrich-Vreeland currency bill.
I also feel like there would be some important symbolism in Senator Booker unseating Strom's 24 hour and 18 minute filibuster of the Civil Rights Act as the longest filibuster in history.

The world has changed before and, when it did, it wasn’t because a president, a prime minister, a CEO or a celebrity decided it had to.
It began when ordinary people – people of no particular power, wealth, or fame – decided that the world could and should be different.

Critical truth, which must be amplified.
A reminder that Los Angeles had its hottest summer in history last year. Southern California has received just 2% of "normal" rainfall during the current "rainy" season.
These fires are a direct result of a warming & drying atmosphere caused by burning fossil fuels.
We are in a climate emergency.

Well they'd be singing so happily

I was walking home,
looking at the trees.
Got the feeling, that they,
were looking back at me.
Thoughts that occurred to me,
were not of the usual kind.
And I don't take that for granted no,
I don't call them mine.
