Acceptable Identification for Domestic Travel?

Hello - I'm wondering if I should carry my passport or global entry card with me while traveling domestically in the U.S. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

My situation: I'm an American citizen of native American and Mexican descent, i.e., I am brown. Normally I wouldn't think twice about ID necessary for domestic travel, but as this is the first flight I'll be taking in light of non-ban travel bans and the fact that I've been confronted by complete strangers about deportations/walls, etc. over the past few months, I'm worried about being stopped by TSA on my return flight.

Another concern is that if I do take my passport/GE card with me, I'll be questioned about why I'm even carrying them in the first place if I'm only going from LIH -> SEA.

I suspect I'm just being a bit paranoid, but I'd like to get a few other takes on this to see if I've actually got something worry about.
