Oh so I guess using 2001 as a benchmark year more than a decade later was a coincidence https://twitter.com/paulkrugman/status/1304385740063805440
Things I remember post 9/11:
- My mom wouldn't go grocery shopping alone
- We got held at the airport for hours, I was 6 and my sister was 8, but our family was "suspicious"
- We knew our phones were tapped and our mosques were surveilled.

I consider myself lucky because I do not have traumatic memories from that era and my family didn't experience direct physical threats. For many, many Muslims that's not the case.
That's to say nothing of the millions of Muslims abroad who have been killed, droned, bombed and tortured for an unjust war that was justified by Islamophobia from the left, right and center.
