Ahmaud Arbery should be celebrating his 31st birthday today β but instead, we remember a life stolen too soon by racial hatred. While accountability was delivered in both state and federal courts, nothing can bring Ahmaud back to his loved ones. #RestInPower

Pfizerβs cancer drug commercial was beautiful, but their breast cancer drug Ibrance costs $10k per month and their prostate cancer drug Xtandi costs $22k per month.
Beautiful commercials donβt change the fact that 42% of cancer patients exhaust their life savings in 2 years.
