1/ Throughout my campaign I argued that large groups of desperate people should be seen as a national security risk. That desperate people do desperate things. That they form a petri dish out of which violent eruption is almost inevitable

2/ When I argued that, I’d say it was true whether in a far-off corner of the world or in a corner of a US city. What’s changed now is that this isn’t about a corner anywhere anymore. The entirety of the country is now saturated with an unsustainable amount of untended to despair

3/ Our political establishment is an inadequate container for the legitimate frustration and rage that is rising up from the bottom of things. It must become that now - very quickly - or the rage will spill over into the streets in a way the system cannot contain.

I said the same when 45 was elected and again when he gave that dreadful inaugural speech. It was obvious where we we’re headed and that too many would be left behind, desperate and hungry. Hungry people take desperate actions. As evictions begin, things will get worse.

What’s your take on colleges? Most students were sold a diploma was their salvation and if you don’t make it to college you are doomed - now students coming out unqualified to work and in huge debt . Colleges is a big % part of that tension...
