"Think about the courage it must have taken her mother to come to America at just 19, the sacrifices she must have made to create a life for herself and eventually for her daughters. If we did not welcome people who want to improve their lives, as well as contribute to our country and culture, we wouldn’t be just worse off—America wouldn’t be America."

They are sympathy terrorists, using the Democrats as a platform for #Hamas.
You'll never see a Pro #Palestine protest at a #Republican function.
They can't hijack the Republican party and boost their anti-Semitic narrative because the #KKK did that long ago.
None of the "protestors" at the Republican convention were given TV time.

This may be an unpopular opinion but the DNC doesn't need any more of your money. Consider prioritizing your donations on groups laser-focused on voter registration and get-out-the-vote drives in key battleground districts and states.
Maybe some commenters here have specific suggestions worth considering (but please vet them first to make sure they work for you!).

"Trump gave a speech in Asheville, North Carolina, that was supposed to be about the economy. Before he could appear, Trump had to pay the city $82,247.60 in advance, with city officials...concerned about the candidate’s habit of skipping out on costs associated with his rallies. Once on stage, he tossed economic issues overboard and concentrated on personal attacks on Biden and Harris, along with stream-of-consciousness musings on tampons and socialism."

An open message
to the stranger
who has accused me
of being a paid shill:
I, and my empty bank account,
regretfully wish to inform you
that unfortunately
there is no money
in asking people
to try to take care of each other.

"Like a toddler who has a tantrum, let them complain and bellow and fume, and then they will lose interest. They are attracted to shiny, loud objects, not substance, and by generating her own heat, Harris can do what’s best for the people, not the elites who ultimately do not care about our well-being at all."

KURSK OFFENSIVE /2230 UTC 15 AUG/ Ukraine offensive expands to greater than 1000 square KM. Russian surrenders continue.

I welcome the day when our government representatives agree to no longer provide our churches tax exempt status. They have abused that right and have gotten away with it far too long

Now Grandpa is campaigning FOR THE DEMOCRATS

Weird Man Trump is promising voters, if you vote for Kamala Harris everybody gets healthcare. I think at this point the Republican party should send nurses to go take grandpa for his nap?

And Democrats are yelling #LetTrumpBeTrump !!

Lessons learned: On day 10 of the #Kursk operation, #russia is still struggling to stabilize the front, while #Ukraine continues to advance. It is clear that Ukraine has incorporated many lessons from its previous counteroffensives and incursions.
