Four careers—precision machinist, freelance film cameraman, classical record buyer for an independent record store, postproduction engineering/supervision at an undergraduate film program. Now retired. Witness to too much over the last 60 years. Taoist.
I really had not considered that second point before. But the moment you do, you realize all the voter suppression shenanigans mail in voting eliminates.

Wouldn’t it be something if there were mass public demonstrations demanding that they recuse themselves? Sure would “shine a light.”
This book survived by being hidden in a wall cavity and plastered over after it was banned. Ostensibly a book of friendship for Paula Modersohn-Becker, the story of some who contributed to the book becomes a tale of Nazi collaboration and Holocaust denial after the book’s release. Lots of echos.
Every Republican is complicit down to your local politicians. Vote them ALL out.
