    Bingo. Ayanna Pressley's family roots in America go back much farther than Trump's, yet by the logic of nationalism he's the one who has the right to tell her to go back to where she came from.https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1152562935966949380 …

    I think the most interesting thing about these nationalists is they simultaneously want to affirm the primacy of place & “soil” & the native-born but are also indifferent to or supportive of efforts to disenfranchise one of the oldest & most-rooted national groups in the country.

        Why is it that #NativeAmerican voices aren't included? If ever there were peoples grievously harmed by the "invasion of immigrants," they are. And yet, their voices call for peace, equality, protecting our environment and mutual respect, when heard at all. #WhispersOnTheWind

        If we're going to bring up this subject, best to focus on the Spaniards/Hispanics who conquered nearly the entirety of the Americas long before later immigrants came along and purchased part of it from them.pic.twitter.com/VYHv9cwPKU

        The white nationalists believe that the European resettlers have a primordial right to North America. No one else’s history matters.
