For me, I think that the struggle around how to deal with Islam in the United States is the defining moral struggle of this half of the new century.

I saw in the Nineties that we were increasing police power with get tough policies and 3 strikes laws, but without additional oversights.

People care. Their hearts are open, but people don't know exactly what the Dreamers are going through, or what sanctuary cities are for, or what's positive about the American Muslim community. When you don't know a lot, you can't do a lot.

In countries where there are real civil wars, people go through a lot, and we should be willing to go through a lot to help them.

Let's stop wasting billions of dollars on prisons, which send people home who are too often less capable and more damaged than when they went in. We would have safer neighborhoods if we spent the same money on true rehabilitation, job training, employment and entrepreneurship.

If all we are for is black people and white people who like black people, then I have nothing to say to Trump who is only for white people and black people who like him.

I am for literally all of the underdogs that I can command and demand better of everyone, including myself.
