EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

I want to make this crystal clear, because there is no negotiating with me regarding human rights. You are either a person who respects other’s right to exist and live, or you aren’t.

If you don’t then I have no space in my life for you.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Vice-President Dong-mold Chump doesn't have the authority to arrest, expel, or deport students who exercise their Constitutionally-guaranteed First Amendment right to peacefully assemble and peacefully protest. This is noise, this is chaff, this is a distraction.

I'm convinced this is a genuine problem. The reality of Trump is so cartoonishly, comically awful that an absolutely neutral description sounds like a hit piece, even to me. So if you're at all predisposed to think of press as biased, factual reporting looks like some relentless vendetta.
feel like one problem of Trump is that describing him objectively sounds like you're insulting him
