I think we're all limited on our dollars to some extent. My money is better off going to Planned Parenthood, Stacey Abrams, or any other worthy cause.

I'm not comfortable donating to bail out folks who overwhelmingly vote against their own interest (62% in KY voted for Trump!), and vote in folks like Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell. They vote for folks who deny climate change and are condemning the rest of us to more storms just like these.

The only thing they're getting from me are thoughts and prayers, so they can see just how much those are worth.
