 Obituary:  I forgot to mention the death of Michigan senator Carl Levin, who retired in 2015 after a long career, at the age of 87.  In recent years, he was battling lung cancer.

From the article:

Born in 1934 in Detroit to Saul and Bess Levin, Carl Levin came from — and would continue to represent — a family of lawyers, many of them engaged in social activism and politics. Saul Levin would become a Michigan corrections commissioner. Saul’s brother, Theodore, rose to become the longtime chief judge of U.S. District Court in Detroit — and eventually the namesake of the federal courthouse in downtown Detroit.

Growing up in Detroit, Carl, according to the Almanac of American Politics, worked as a taxi driver and on the assembly line at a Chrysler DeSoto plant before finishing a degree at Swarthmore College and then heading to Harvard for law school, where his beloved brother Sander, three years older than he, had also gone. 

Back in Detroit, Carl worked as an attorney, as general counsel for the Michigan Civil Rights Commission and as Detroit’s chief appellate defender. In 1961, he married Barbara Halpern, who would later graduate from Wayne State Law School; they had three daughters together.

Levin was one of the good guys, a Democrat who was really a Democrat before the dipshit Sanders types took over the party.

This is complete and total insanity.  It isn't just insanity, it is a public health hazard to brainwash medical students into thinking biological sex isn't real.
