      What donating does—the only positive thing it does—is send a message. But money isn't just symbolism. Money is also money.

      I've got a lot of people in my mentions saying the symbolism is benefit enough—as a matter of PR, and a matter of righteousness.

      But there are lots of left organizations in NC that are desperate for your money. Giving that money to the GOP is symbolism too.

      I've got a bunch of people in my timeline cheering these donations, and a bunch of people screaming in anguish about them.

      That anguish is a cost of your actions. That anguish is a harm your donation did. Inflicting that anguish divides us.

      Again, if you wanted to head down to the office and help them repaint? That's Norman Rockwell stuff, and I dig Norman Rockwell.

      I even kind of liked @zeynep's original idea of the Democratic Party lending the GOP some office space.

      Reaching out to another person face-to-face is hard and weird and potentially transformative. It's a big deal. It's a risk. It's hard.

      Yeah the office was my idea but the gofundme is fine too. NC needs deescalation. The money is a small amount.

      .@zeynep I hear you. But respectfully, there are a lot of grassroots social justice groups out there for whom $13,000 is anything but small.

      And we should absolutely fundraise for them. I tweeted out link to NCAAP get-out-the-vote campaign as rejoinder to this.

          Look, a country with 2A is teetering on the edge of political violence against minorities, immigrants and refugees.

          Then we have a very provocative (with political slogan, too) arson of NC GOP. De-escalation should be on everyone's mind.

          My phone's autocorrect keeps doing it. Yikes. (I type in Turkish and English so my autocorrect is wacky).
