A mother took her sons to an ICE check-in. She never saw them again. They had no criminal records. They were pursuing green cards. In the new Trump admin, it didn’t matter .

The follow on @ZohranKMamdani and the cemeteries:

@SenGianaris Mamdani often points to de Blasio as a model and namedrops La Guardia. But it will be more interesting to see what he takes or avoids from other mayors. One adviser told me that even during the primary, he was asking about the Lindsay transition and how Koch turned to the general.

What if Mamdani and his volunteers were focused on selling childcare or buses to the public, countering right wing media? . I.e., this @SenGianaris quote:

Could those volunteers provide defense for the big moonshot things Mamdani wants to do? . One of the problems Dems had with bail reform was that few people were willing to go out and vocally defend it. “Cuomo didn’t go out and sell it to the public,” one lawmaker told me.

The question now (as he relaunches canvassing for the general) is can he keep that base engaged in the coming months and years. What happens if 50k people suddenly start calling their state reps?.

Some things that fell out of this story/are relevant now: . Multiple lawmakers and political pros compared @ZohranKMamdani’s volunteer apparatus to Obama’s in 2008. Consider that solid campaigns might have a few hundred per borough. Mamdani had 50k total.
