Great post from someone who's been there ... thanks, James. William Shirer has been coming to mind more for me lately, as resonances to an earlier regime grow stronger ...

This brought me to tears for all that we have lost. Thank you for documenting it and sharing it here. Thank you for your honorable work.

Your comment regarding the McCarthy Era is notable. I just hope that we are able to rebound from this terrible period as well as we did from that era. We are urgently in need of an Edward R Murrow.
