There is a dissociation between the world people say they want…and the world they are financing. People want change but they’re not unhappy about their Palantir stock performance.

“I would say the ratio of the bodhisattvas that you could find in the red light district, I will not be surprised if there are more there than in the monasteries and the caves........” - Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

Apologies in advance….I’m not a fan of AI-generated content, but after the wheels came off Trump’s administration today….Your Honor, I’ll allow it. ☮️☮️☮️

Pass it on, please. 🙏🏻 we can’t let the Ukrainians be lost in this madness of Trump’s incompetence and corruption. #Ukraine #Zelensky #Peace #

“Dangerous consequences will follow when politicians and rulers forget moral principles. Whether we believe in God or karma, ethics is the foundation of every religion.” -H.H. The 14th Dalai Lama #Buddhism #Ethics #DalaiLama

The U.S. is the biggest emitter of carbon emissions from AI, making up 45% of the world’s emissions.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Paola Ramos. She’s an American journalist - and as daughter of Jorge Ramos, she has the DNA to seek truth. ‘At the core of MAGA and of Democratic Socialism is surprisingly, populism.’ Trump to Mamdani, ‘we think alike’. Unpack that! #Mamdani #DemocraticSocialism #Trump www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8UN5oMD/

I am not interested in becoming numb. I want a heart that can still feel, still respond, still protect what is vulnerable.

Bearing witness is a practice and I do not like it. But it has shaped me. Inhumane treatment of animals pushed me into vegetarian life. Footage of Auschwitz cracked something open in me. Seeing China’s invasion of Tibet gave me direction. Each time I felt broken, I also felt more human. 1/2

ICT was honored to host a DC screening of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s “Wisdom of Happiness”! Followed by a Q&A with ICT President Tencho Gyatso & Chairman Richard Gere on the importance of the Dalai Lama’s message & taking action to support the people of Tibet.

Today I sit for Hanan Elatr, Jamal Khashoggi's widow. While she fights for justice and accountability for her husband's murder, ordered by MBS, Trump welcomes him to the WH, calls him ‘a great man, a dear friend’. May the entire world see this clearly. #compassion #Khashoggi #Dharma #peace

Trump hates women. Epstein emails are a pebble compared to the mountain of evidence seized: 1500 hrs of video, or = 10-20 million photos - from just ONE of Epstein’s homes. The blast radius of trauma and damage created is massive. Victims now watch Trump dismiss and betray them. Sadistic.

If the current POTUS can say to a credentialed female Bloomberg reporter, “Quiet, piggy.”, call AOC and Crockett “low IQ” and refer to almost every strong woman he has met as “nasty”… ……imagine how he treated the underage girls he brutally violated that weren’t there by choice. ~ Thomas Simmons

. “Radiate boundless love towards the entire world.” — Karaniya Metta Sutta “This is perhaps the most direct and famous saying on universal love. The Buddha encourages us to radiate — to shine love outward, like sunlight”. ~ From spiritual culture 📸 Sunrise

From the domestic department: “Suggestions for Year-end Energy Shift: Get rid of old mugs you may have filling a shelf, and start buying handmade ceramics. A little more expensive but so nice in your hand. Make your morning cuppa so much better and you help out a small craft business.”

Not surprised. An analyst reports MargorieTaylorGreen is going to be JD Vance’s VP. Her current assignment: corral disillusioned MAGA voters, and Republican women, into a newly sympathetic GOP base that’s desperate to cut ties with Trump. Wolf in sheep’s clothing confirmed. #Politics #MTG #JDVance

Dear California, Your leadership is duly noted. More, please. Love, Planet Earth

A landmark ruling and a reframed headline: “OpenAI lost a copyright case in Germany yesterday” To: “Victory for Content Producers.” “Judge Elke Schwager “if you want to build something and need components, then you purchase them. Do not use the property of others." #AI #Dataprivacy #writers ⬇️

The degree to which I have no interest in your writing if you used AI to help you write it cannot be overstated. Trust yourself. Your mind is beautiful and it’s enough.

I live here. #Respect

The bodhisattva vow is impossible. That’s what makes it worth taking. We save all beings by saving the being in front of us, right now, which might be ourselves. ~ Gael MacLean

I recommend this video with my full being. Like Nicolle Wallace, this survivor’s story changed my heart. Jess’s long road of healing is clear: Women in power—speak for survivors. Stand before the men in power and speak. Moms—speak. Show solidarity. youtube.com/watch?v youtube.com/watch?v=pdqX...

All the talk about the AI bubble, and how VCs and investors are in a fever to get in. I’m following Mira Murati, founder and CEO of Thinking Machines Lab. It’s time for more women to take the reins. Particularly in our AI futures. Just wanted to share that with you. ☮️ #AI #OpenAI #Tesla #Dharma

I want to believe that today is the beginning of the end for Trump. But I won’t take that bet. Instead, we have to double the pressure on Republicans, flood the zone with our voices. This is far from over. ☮️ #Epstein #EpsteinFiles #Trump

My hope is blue states start their own health care collectives.

A special guest this morning. I admit to coveting a professional telephoto lens in an iPhone that is weightless. #westmarin #redtailedhawk #peace #birdlove #art

I’m still vibrating. This film is a profound gift at exactly the right time. It’s rolling into theaters, go find it. 🙏🏻 #Buddhism #HHDL #DALAILAMA #WisdomofHappiness #Peace #Compassion youtu.be/ojdQj1ksJqs?...

“Bear in mind that everything that exists is already fraying at the edges, and in transition, subject to fragmentation and to rot. “ ~ Marcus Aurelius (Meditations) thetattooedbuddha.com/2019/06/24/a...

Tonight we sat in a dark theater with HH Dalai Lama….at least it felt that way. This exquisite and personal film is his message, sharing his view of the future for our planet. I sat with my friend, a Tibetan refugee, and we both cried out of gratitude. I hope you go! youtube.com/watch?v=CYqZ...

Dear Kim Davis, This is my partner - for 39 years (married for 10). Ultimately, we will find compassion for you because being uneducated and hateful is a heavy burden. 🙏🏻 #marriageEquality #gaymarriage #peace

“We're surrounded by bubbles. Real estate (again) bubble. Stock bubble. Derivatives bubble. AI bubble.” This article is an important one.

“The level of collective psychosis gripping a human society that even entertains the notion of letting one human hoard $1,000,000,000,000 while people starve is impossible to express, but we need to do so in order to avoid normalizing it.” —- Ethan Nichtern, @ethannichtern.com

TGIF.

When I landed here by Mt. Tamalpais in Northern California almost 42 years ago, I knew I’d come home. The deep resonance with this field of energy has only deepened. The conversation never ends.

The most surprising part of Zohran Mamdani’s win is how little support he got from the Democratic Party, and how little it actually mattered.

This. 🙏🏻

Friends, I’m waking up today with hopefulness. Democracy, too, is a practice — a shared awakening. When we act from awareness rather than fear, the whole field brightens. 🙏🏻 #Democracy #Hope #Mamdani #Prop50

San Francisco is exploding tonight celebrating Zohran Mamdani’s win AND our Prop 50. Deep, deep bow to every American who showed up, in every blue and red state, for democracy. 🙏🏻

“Gavin Newsom did THE WORK on this campaign. Swiftly, legally, and clearly, he delivered the message and asked us to decide. It was a surgical and brilliant response to the moment. Proud to be a Californian today and every day.”

Guys I'm scared he might destroy another wing of the White House after tonight.
