Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) returned to her alma mater Howard University on Saturday to deliver the commencement address to the 149th graduating class of America’s oldest historically black college.

In her speech, Harris advised graduates to create their own opportunities, to speak out against injustice and to spark positive change in the world in whatever profession they choose.

Though Harris never mentioned President Trump by name, her speech clearly critiqued his administration.

“You are graduating into a very different time than it was when you arrived a few short years ago,” Harris told a crowd of almost 2,200 graduates in caps and gowns. “At a time when men, women and children have been detained at airports in our country simply because of the God they worship, speak truth and serve…because we need you, our country needs you, and the world needs you."

1. Good for her and she was right not to give Trump the free PR boost like the news media did

because Trumps only a symptom of the disease our country suffers from which is the Republican party.
They have far to much power in this country from the state level offices to the federal elected ones and we need to kick them out and we have a better chance to do it than to get Trump impeached.

2. Above all, we'll need people qualified to be election observers.

If Cheeto and the Rapepublicans get their way, in a few years Paraguayan elections will look like Sweden's compared to ours.

Congratulations to all the graduates!
