The Moonshot program was the largest, organized effort by the U.S. government to find cancer cures. Congress voted it down.

Even though this would be a win for all Americans – and humanity – it apparently did not outweigh the politics of making a Democrat look good. This is the definition of party over country.

I’m a doctor.So is my mother. When she got cancer, I realized how little that mattered.

Republicans have stated budget cuts need to be made with an ever-growing debt. But where was this attitude when tax cuts for the wealthy were on the table in 2017? They don’t have to look at patients in the eye and break the devastating news that they have cancer. They don’t have to treat cancers that block intestines or drown a patient’s lungs in fluid.

    And when you FUCKING WON you did the thing I would never do. The South would have been a smoldering pit of cinders in my timeline. I’d have decorated the halls of the white house with the hides of the plantation owners.

    You’ve learned nothing in all these years except how to be polite to the scum you beat until they inched their way back on top of you. It’s truly one of the most vile tales in human history.

      This is why I celebrate the legacy of John Brown. One of the greatest American heroes of all time, considered a terrorist by our government for murdering slave owners freeing their slaves and then arming those slaves to go free more.

      John Brown is my hero. We need more of him today.
