24 hours ago by dramandaforeman So many have been displaced in #California , and @realdonaldtrump finds it more important to blame the victims than to utilize our country's vast resources to help. Please join me in lending a hand. I am personally enthusiastic about @directaid , but there are a number of terrific organizations out there. The important thing, of course, is simply to get involved! Link in bio https://bit.ly/2OEdMpf #charity #californiafire #community #resist #wildfire
