On June 24, New Yorkers will decide primary races for mayor, comptroller, public advocate, and city council.

If you are registered as an independent or with a third party, you are effectively disenfranchised from this part of the democratic process.

But there’s a catch…

New York has “closed” primaries, meaning only registered Dems can vote in the Dem primary.

And the deadline to change your party affiliation is Feb. 13 online, or Feb. 14 in-person.

This is great to hear, I am in DSA, and it’s a big tent, but lots of Marxists, and there is a distinction between authoritarian and democratic tendencies!

The secret Zen of Jesus is — was Jesus influenced by the Dharma missionaries we know had set up temples in Alexandria nearby, during his lifetime. And why do parts of the Dhamapada sound just like the New Testament? It’s a real koan.

Awesome. Yes Jesus in the temple driving out the money changers is Jesus at his most anti-capitalist! And yet he had compassion even for the little doves, the pidgins, they were the sacrificial animals for poor people who couldn’t afford a lamb or goat.

Ha ha. He hit ‘em right in the heart with a healing touch and wasn’t afraid to use his own spit to heal the blind with mud. He taught non-resistance to evil and not hitting back when hit. Check my substack on historical Jesus, a compendium of little known secrets. His violence is not among them.

I’ve actually punched Nazis on Capitol Hill in a people’s struggle against the National Alliance back in the mid-2000s. The results of this action actually caused me to turn towards radical non-violence as a more potent form of resistance. Go deeper. Go big! Gandhi Buddha Jesus that’s how we win.

Hey, I’m inspired to check out more about this book. I looked at the book trailer and some of the Amazon info. Thank you for posting this and I will follow you.
Bought the book, too…..

Yeah, I just had a friend read it. I’m helping him in the AA program.

Oh, I remember this book quite well. I loved this book. I think I was an early teenager and this book is about who I was at the time. And it took me a while to figure out how to pronounce the title. And that it wasn’t the “challenging.”

Oh, what’s more the add feels like it was designed by AI. Maybe the whole company is run by AI.
