This is clever way of combating Felon Skum’s tweets; set a minimum & maximum amount you are happy to donate to good causes (Hope not Hate, for example), every time he makes a tweet! Great subterfuge 😉🙌🏼

It's Monday morning. Surfed through some mainstream news programs this morning and not one mention of Musk's takeover. Barely making a mention on news sites either.
