Terry Moran "We are all living inside the mind of this broken, ferocious man"

5. Closing from Terry Moran's piece - powerful.

To call such people “garbage” is not just a lie. It is a moral disgrace. It is the language of someone who wants to divide Americans into those who belong and those who can be discarded. It stems from the mind and heart of a man who treats human beings as refuse.

This is the vocabulary of dehumanization. And we know where that leads. History teaches it with painful clarity: first you target a vulnerable group with slurs, then with policy, then with force. Look at the timing — the administration is escalating enforcement operations in Minnesota. Words like “garbage” are not slips of the tongue. They are signals.

Real patriotism is not about bloodlines or birthplace. It is measured by what you build, not what you tear down. Somali-Americans have built new lives, new communities, and new futures here. Just like my ancestors. And yours. They represent the resilience and renewal that have always defined this country at its best.
