@KamalaHarris This was a real text thread between my son and I today. Beaumont CA freshman in High School. He’s 15. He thought he was going to die at school.
So this happened today. In real life. We live in California. My 15 year old. The school and police response was amazing but this is the reality he goes to school in being in High School in 2023.
I am extremely sad over the tragedy that has once again taken place in the Mediterranean. 130 migrants died in the sea. They are people. They are human beings. Let us pray for these brothers and sisters, and for all those who continue to die in these tragic crossings.
Everyone has the right to go to work, to go to school, to walk down the street and be safe, and also, the right to be recognized as an American, not as the other, not as them, but as us.
