NO to billionaires "The billionaire co-founder of the California Institute for Immunology & Immunotherapy, Gary K. Michelson, is 1 of the 2 ultrawealthy chief backers of Proposition 38." That's a NO from this cancer survivor who went thru immunotherapy #cancersky calmatters.org/politics/ele...

Is this proposition a $4 billion giveaway to a billionaire’s LA research center?
Proposition 38 will award $4 billion to one unnamed research center. Under the very specific criteria, only one center seemingly qualifies.

"Ed Sheeran had an opportunity show that we won't be bullied into punishing people for supporting Palestine. Instead he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows. A genocide is happening in Gaza. We all need to speak out against it.
