there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

How did you change the 'for' line I couldn't touch it

Promotional image of Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as the creature standing back to back.

I really loved GDT’s Frankenstein, but I will warn people it makes the subtext of childabuse and parental neglect text.

Victor is both verbally and physically abusive similar to how many kids, especially disabled ones, are abused.

Be careful and pass this on to anyway who might be impacted.

This is why this surrender isn't just about this narrow issue but is rather the whole constitutional ballgame:

Democrats are affirmatively signaling they do not want political power at the same time Trump is transitioning the political system into an autocratic one wherein they're denied it forever

the thing that upsets me about this the most is that Dems had all the momentum, republicans were reeling, and we were getting intra-GOP fighting over the filibuster, all while voters were blaming republicans for their incompetence

this destroys all of this. just a total gut punch

We can't vote Schumer out until 2028 but we can make him being the senate majority leader a litmus test for 2026 candidates. Every single Dem senate candidate should be forced to go on the record and state they will not vote for him as majority leader.

I think tonight shows why “moderate to win elections” is a real risk

the big divide in the Dem caucus, as many have noted, has been less moderate vs progressive than fight versus don’t fight

but it’s not a coincidence that basically everyone in the “don’t fight” camp is a moderate

the minute flights got canceled, Dems folded like a house of cards, leaving me to wonder why the fuck this post made some of you so angry

it’s moments like today that make it really clear that it was imperative for zohran mamdani to oust andrew cuomo and prevent all these republican-lites from controlling anything

Any D running for Senate in 2026 must vow to oust Schumer as leader. Maybe he would quit

The fact that none of the 8 Dems are up for re-election in 2026 is a pretty good sign @schumer.senate.gov engineered the surrender

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

Remember when some of us said the Democratic leadership would take all the wrong lessons from the blue tsunami and squander all the goodwill?

Here you go.

This is not how you defeat Trump.
If they can't hold the Line they need to go.

"Almost half of New Yorkers did not vote" for Mamdani, Cuomo ungraciously says in a terrible speech.

"Almost half," bitch you lost.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

Cities thrive not on fear but empathy, on cooperation not division.

That's the NYC we know and love. It has found expression in this movement. And it is rising up at the ballot box today.

Polls close at 9pm: zohranfornyc.com/vote

really important element of this basically total victory is that it puts the fear of god in republican incumbents and may bring the redistricting push to a total halt

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

The crowd has gone silent at Cuomo's party.

roses are red
big laughs are hearty

genuinely beautiful that new york elected a muslim lefty mayor the same day that dick cheney died

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago
