"The attack on an African-born Muslim is the logical continuation of a political movement that began with the racist lie that President Barack Obama was, in fact, an African-born Muslim. He and his ilk never stopped doing birtherism; it festered and festered until it controlled a state and legal apparatus that could render their fantasies into reality. And then it festered some more."

"Beyond the corruption and the bad cologne, Trumpism has always been a story about who counts as American. The attacks on Mamdani—and the threat to strip him of his citizenship as punishment for his short-lived post-college career as Mr. Cardamom—reflect the rot at the heart of the modern GOP and the exclusionary definition of national identity that made Trump’s rise possible."

"A family is an opportunity to inflict trauma and leverage emotions—including ICE agents callously watching a six-year-old boy with Leukemia wet himself in custody. A nation is a means of hoarding power and wealth and inflicting, through the circumscription of law, as much pain on their enemies as possible."

"It is glaringly obvious in the cruel ways that Trump’s immigration enforcement has targeted families, terrorized children, and attempted to pit neighbors against each other.

For this administration, a healthy community is one that turns on its own out of fear and prejudice."
