At CNN Town Halls tonight there were questions about children in cages. There are even more: every child living in a domestic war zone is also in a cage. Every child we fail to teach to read by the age of 8 is living in a cage. Every child who’s hungry & unfed is living in a cage

Not every cage has visible walls but the people within it are still caged. For a child, poverty is a cage. For a child, hunger is a cage. For a child, illiteracy is a cage.Silent emergencies are just as important as screaming ones. Millions of American children are silently caged

Just so we’re clear about numbers here: 13 million children in America are hungry; 100,000 children in America are homeless; millions of American children can’t learn to read by the age of 8, w/ therefore lowered chance of high school graduation & greater chance of incarceration.

If America is going to right itself, people must choose comity and compassion over bigotry and greed. This country cannot afford to continue down its current self-destructive road. The Pathos of Politics has insightful history, analysis, & solution: ishinobu.com/spokes-7/

Will you address the children the children in cages with human sexual trafficking ie Epstein' s agenda? The very party you want me to vote for has some sublime connections to the trafficking of children. What's your take on this? We are making great stride in dismantling this.
Replying to @marwilliamson
That is true. What about the victims of trafficking?
