Palantir CEO Alex Karp Recorded a Video About ICE for His Employees In a video shared with Palantir employees, Alex Karp did not explain how ICE is utilizing the company's products. Instead, workers were told they can sign NDAs if they want detailed information.

If you work for Palantir and have concerns about its role in US federal immigration enforcement, please reach out. You can remain anonymous.

CLIMBING THE EMPIRICAL STAIRWAY OF ERUDITION 
AS PAIN'S NOSTALGIC PYRE BURNS


Floating among ascetic values,
Blinded by impervious anger,
Incurring, 
The ramification of putrid rancor,
Within the cyclonic bosom of my heart. 

Inward flickers drowsy from travel,
Hollow refuge, remnants of yore,
Seeking,
The voice of vitality's spore,
Whence longings and wishes dwell.

A path discovered, a deed unraveled,
Facets of a crystalline dream,
Wielding,
The sword my visage redeems,
As hope kindles passion's flame.

Awakened by agony's abyss,
Salvaged from the decadence of deception, 
Climbing,
The empirical stairway of erudition,
As pains nostalgic pyre burns.
by T.P. Blakewell, from the book, Light Up The Darkness: A Fluorescent Awakening.

In the realm of extraordinary human functioning and capabilities
the emergence of patterns of cause-effect relationships
and the elucidation of the mechanisms and agencies involved
are now known.

We now know that we have extraordinary capabilities
and that they can be cultivated.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

If you ever see a flower wherein each petal is yellow on half the petal and white on the other half of the petal with a thin blue line going vertically along the petal in between the white and yellow then I would love to see a photo and know where you found it. The flower is very special. Thank you!

”When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of myself in the world, I would do that again by reading, just as I did when I was young.”

you knew nothing about, yet refuse to investigate.”

Contempt prior to investigation will keep a person in everlasting ignorance.

Orion's Treasures over Snowy Mountains apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap26012...
Rising over a frozen valley in the Tatra Mountains, the familiar stars and nebulas of Orion dominate this wide-field nightscape. The featured deep photo was taken in southern Poland's highest mountain range last month.

Healthcare should be accessible to everyone, not just the wealthy.

Republicans sabotaged our entire health insurance system this year creating huge increases and premiums.

Then, they try to blame the ACA when it was them who created the problem.

Black serif text centered on a white background. The text reads:
​"To ALL the people who work inside government agencies, defence contractors, Top Secret programs, Special Access Programs and military establishments of the United States and its allies ... To those who have made the decision that you can not remain silent after you discover serious wrongdoing ... Come forward, make official misdeeds public, at great personal cost, risk your career, your personal relationships, and your freedom. We owe you a huge debt of gratitude. We will all be better because of your courage. We will become the light. This is the time you have been waiting for, this is why you are here, this is your purpose, your destiny ... the fate of the children and the children’s children are at stake."

To all the government workers, and politicians ... now is the time to come forward and make official misdeeds public. Our freedom depends on it. The fate of the children and our children's children are at stake.

Your weekly Dharma from The Essential Dogen. What Dogen is saying is not contradicting himself. He is saying sutras can point the way to the correct practice, which in turn can bring realization, but studying sutras alone does not.
