We are very close to a near cure for two of the highest-mortality cancers we know: glioblastoma and pancreatic cancer. These are both mRNA based treatments which are losing their funding during stage I and II trials. Thousands will die needlessly because of this motherfucker and his lies.

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out.
Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal.
Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home.
That.

VHS tape flashback in my attic!
I was in a children’s theater company when Twin Peaks first aired and from day one we had viewing parties (coffee & cherry pie required) and we snuck Twin Peaks references into our shows when management wasn’t looking. Those were the (viewing) days!

Like members of Alice of Chains should be scared of the public after doing this: Kept $3.4 out of $4.1 million for themselves, didn’t provide health insurance for employees. When their crew member got cancer, they reposted his GoFundMe and sent him to a charity. They didn’t help him. He died!
