So... are we going to see any kind of evidence for this? Who's the editor? Who fact-checked the story? Or is a first person story by a political activist on a political website what we call "news" now?

Firstly, it's an opinion piece. It's not pretending to be news.

Secondly, the article has plenty of links you can follow to get more information. You can follow them and make up your own mind.

Or you could crash into this thread demanding cites, one of the classic moves of a troll.

This isn't news, it's a personal story. You can flag it if it's not the kind of content you'd like to see.
