In an interview I just taped with Rashid Khalidi about #Columbia he said words to the effect of "this is the neoliberal dream of the university--no students, no professors, just administrators and cops on campus"
"After praying on it, I’ve decided to bring the #Ukraine aid package to the floor of the House as soon as we reconvene in a week.

Why do we see very few people from minorities in #meditation circles? Is #zazen a white upper middle class-only activity?
I don’t think so. But because #capitalism makes life so hard for those minorities, they aren’t granted the chance to participate in those meditation sessions, as they have other, more urgent, things to struggle with in the first place.

According to Wikipedia: "In 1977, Costa Ricans chose the yigüirro as a national symbol (over many much more colorful birds that inhabit the country) due to its strong and melodious song that always comes during the start of the rainy season.
