Was out of town for a work trip and was able to join a wonderful meditation sit at a local Tibetan Dharma Center.

Looking at this lineup of books makes me so happy I made the decision so many years ago to terminate my involvement in Pitchstone Publishing. So gross.
Four books on display coming soon from Pitchstone Publishing.

On my newsletter today, I think through how I have found #Buddhist practice has related to my professional life in #organizing and fighting #injustice. open.substack.com/pub/danarel/...

A robust first amendment while a bunch of people are going to prison for sharing anti-fascist literature.
CNN article that reads: 

Members of the media mocking a leader's dismal performance on live TV and all across the internet? In some other countries, that's a criminal offense.

But in the US, it's the norm, so maybe Trump's speech unwittingly underscored the theme of the dinner: America's
robust First Amendment protections.

Need more reasons to hate Sam Harris? Read this.
If the Palestinians laid down their arms, there would be peace. There could be a two-state solution; there could even be a one-state solution; it wouldn’t matter. If the Palestinians simply stopped killing Jews and stopped building a culture that celebrates pointless murder and martyrdom as its highest values, there could be a diverse, tolerant, and prosperous society between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. There could have been one eighty years ago. But if the Israelis laid down their weapons, there would be a genocide. This was obviously true on October 7th, 2023. And for anyone who has been paying attention, it has been true on every other day since the founding of the state of Israel.
