A few months ago our staffer @snmrrw used Twitter Blue to make a parody account of Eli Lilly and announce “insulin is free now.”
But this one isn’t a parody: today Eli Lilly announced they’ll cap insulin prices at $35 a month.
You’re getting there, Lilly. 35 dollars to go.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
Pharma buys off Congress. No action on drug prices.

A healthcare practice in Florida has to pay $244,000 after they stole wages from 49 of their workers. Orlando Health Medical Group violated the Fair Labor Standards Act, but nobody will go to jail for this theft and nobody in the media gives a shit.
This is the real crime wave.
“…following a dispute over a slice of cheese.” This is about so much more than a need for police reform. How do you teach institutions founded in racism to value and honor Black people?
