Earlier this year, the HELP Committee launched an investigation into the outrageous prices of inhalers in the U.S. Today, I’m proud to announce that 3 of the 4 major inhaler companies will lower the cost of all of their inhalers to $35. https://t.co/RInxutJC79

Because of your bad business and ethics decision, MDR-TB can spread further and faster.
Teams at these schools won’t recruit you, let alone let you apply until they’ve screened your grades/test scores
PLUS athletics is an important way for many public school/SAT-tutor-lacking (often POC) students to be competitive with legacy students and $$$ families
Here's a wild stat:
43% of white students admitted to Harvard are legacy, athletes, or related to donors or staff.
86% admit rate for athletes is insane.
Op-Ed: Though Carhartt jackets are a hot fashion trend, for the workers who use them as a tool of the trade, they represent hard work and union support. https://t.co/MLkGNA0q7d

Unite!
