$5.1 million in taxpayer money to restore 19-foot statues with 23.75-karat gold leaf.

Sergey Brin is worth $276 billion.
He could save healthcare for 3 million people.
Instead, he’s spending $82 million against California’s 5% billionaire wealth tax.
He’d rather see low-income Americans die & suffer than pay his fair share of taxes.
That is a moral obscenity.

He must be released.

These price hikes aren't unavoidable. They're unacceptable.

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, gutted USAID, which supports some of the poorest people in the world.
Now there's an Ebola outbreak in the Congo, which USAID could have helped prevent or slow.
When you dismantle the systems that stop deadly diseases, people needlessly die.

Artificial Intelligence is built on the creative work of millions of writers, artists, musicians, journalists, teachers, scientists and ordinary people. That work has been stolen by Big Tech oligarchs.
Now's the time to reclaim it and ensure AI works for ALL, not just the few.
