As big as the Mamdani win is, Landers ascent is in some ways even more significant for the national Democratic Party.
Most Dem electeds know that they don't have what Zohran has. But most can at least imagine themselves as a Lander.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

“What is the worst thing that Andrew Cuomo did when he was the governor?”
That’s what @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social asked @bradlander.bsky.social at our joint mayoral forum with @hellgatenyc.com in May.
He didn’t miss a beat and ranked “from fifth-worst to first-worst.” Watch the clip:

THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can.
ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.

Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.
Lander just got detained by federal agents as he tried to escort a man out of the courtroom. Lander was taken in an elevator with masked agents, along with one member of his NYPD security detail.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.
But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.
That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

This is exactly the right tone when privileged people suffer minor or temporary consequences standing up for powerless people. It’s still about the powerless people.
ICE is Gestapo trash.

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

Yesterday we were proud to host @bradlander.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social! After co-endorsing both of them last week, we're so happy that they stood in front of photos of our members to cross-endorse each other.

Via @nytimes.com: I’m proud to team up with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and cross-endorse each other for Mayor because of his strong commitment to a more affordable city.
Together, we'll fight for a safer, better-run New York — and ensure that Andrew Cuomo makes it nowhere near City Hall.
