God, Nia DaCosta is so fuckin cool! Different style than Boyle (surprisingly more gruesome) but fits perfectly in the world established. Boyle’s film was concerned with a perversion of nationalism death, while DaCosta is concerned with the perversion of religion and the mind.

This is very good framing from @gelliottmorris.com. It adds more data to what I've been arguing. Would only add that *attacking Trump* produced these reversals among nonwhite working class (see my piece and thread below).

Prop 50 was called the moment that polls closed in California. The blowout showed how showing up to fight is the most important thing in Democratic politics right now.
It also means that (pending SCOTUS) Dems have largely neutralized Trump's gerrymandering push.

There's an element of the smart set that doesn't give a crap about volunteering and ground game, thinks it's meaningless. Mamdani's campaign had 104,400 volunteers and knocked on 3 million doors and it sounds like they're just getting started.
