Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Current law limits how much NYC may borrow by the valuation of its taxable real estate.
But imagine a city debt limit based on additional forms of value: the daily mutual-aid work by millions; organizing infrastructure.
Imagine having laws that recognize + valuate these forms of collective wealth!

If down the line Mamdani needs to do things without fully financing them with revenue (because of political sabotage or any other reason), a rhetoric of accounting for capacity in non-monetary terms will be essential.
2026 is off to a powerful start

Mamdani in his speech challenged the casual narrative erasure of many in his coalition.
Narrative erasure is the first step of an accounting trick: if someone can be said to not really exist, then their existence presents as a cost to the city that excludes them.
