Hillary Clinton Raised $1.5 Million to Help Kids Torn From Their Families at the Border

This makes me smile https://www.marieclaire.com/politics/a21748901/hillary-clinton-fundraises-border-crisis-children/

Following her keynote address at the Women’s Forum of New York’s 2018 Elly Awards on Monday, Hillary Clinton has raised more than $1.5 million for families being separated at the border.

After taking to Twitter to urge her followers to donate to a group of 10 organizations that are fighting our country's immigration policy (a direct donation that is split evenly across each organization), Clinton was able to raise $750,000 in just one day—a number that has continued to grow throughout the week, largely in part to the politician's massive social media following.

With an average donation of $60, Clinton has raised money for the American Civil Liberties Union, the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project, the Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project, and seven other organizations—all of which are fighting tooth in nail to protect children and families separated by President Trump's "zero-tolerance" immigration policy. Half of the donations alone have come from Twitter, with email, Instagram, and Facebook following behind.

Now we have to shout out to the world trump still hasn't return the children hostages, and the gop are enabling him still and refusing to return them to their families. Taking babies and putting them into cages ought to be every stations starting of their broadcast every night until they're returned. Democrats need to repeat this too every time they are on tv or the radio.

....she just keeps doing what she's been doing since she was the First Lady of Arkansas.

Thank God she doesn't like (maybe doesn't even know how) to knit!

or "bake cookies and pour tea," can go fuck themselves.

She and the Obama will endure beyond their haters - their sheer class, intellect and grace under pressure will shame those who trash them.

History is on their side.

They have always been on our side.
