• worked for the GOP,
• found Trump too extreme,
• feared leaving,
• quit, and now
• urges others to quit.

Miles’ message might resonate with those who consider leaving the GOP:

I would love it if we could skip all this fascism and go straight to ubi and universal Healthcare.

Every single day there's a new person I hope to outlive.

Rewatching #LeverageRedemption to see some verminous troglodytes get their asses handed to them.

We're seeing lots of headlines about the catastrophic impact of massive data center expansion. But what else could data centers look like?
