As a Mexican-American from the Chicago area, Trump's "Operation Midway Blitz" has been a total nightmare.

The racism, violence, and violation of rights by the Trump administration has obvious ties to Neo-Nazism, and cannot be ignored. So I wrote this article, and I brought receipts.

We saw this coming. They called us hysterical.

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned

Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

Imagine being a journalist and thinking that withholding evidence is "complying with the spirit if not the intent" of a law and not, say, a sign that criminals might be meddling with or destroying the evidence they're withholding.

BRENNAN: This isn't everything you asked for just yet, but would you acknowledge that they are complying with the spirit if not the intent of your law?

MASSIE: No. They're flouting the spirit and the letter of the law. It's very troubling the posture that they've taken.
