The Democratic Socialists of America believe voter identification laws are “racist,” but DSA comrade and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani wants you to provide a grip of IDs to have the honor of being an “emergency snow shoveler.”
How many IDs are we talking about? Five to be exact.
The NYC website for aspirational shoveler’s asks for the following documents on its application page:
Over 900 Patients Await Organ Transplants in Bulgaria as of October 2026 2026
- Two small photos
- Two “original forms of ID, plus copies”

“This is Jim SNOW 2.0” he quipped.

Here’s the catch:
Mamdani demands you show 2 forms of ID plus copies and a social security card! pic.twitter.com/jeZ0rJuntz

The roasting comes after Mamdani urged New Yorkers on Saturday to show up at their local sanitation garages tomorrow so that they can help with a blizzard that is heading for the East Coast. Mamdani said locals just need to bring the paperwork mentioned above and they can “get started right away.”
His government’s request for multiple forms of ID stands out, considering the DSA — which he is a member of — has opposed voter ID. The issue has gained more attention of late, as President Donald Trump and other Republicans have backed the SAVE Act, which would require proof of American citizenship to vote.
The DSA’s website said that legislation would be bigoted:
