I literally never once heard the word "homeland" in a US nationalism context until a week after 9/11

Twenty-two years later and I’m still not over “homeland.” For me it will never be normalized.

I was 13 around 9/11 and even back then, I could see the slippery slope of the word "terrorist" being bandied about any time someone ran up against state dept talking points. Now here we are. You're a terrorist for protesting. You're a terrorist for wanting less war. You're a terrorist for drinking boba on a Tuesday...
