“Work done for a reward is much lower than work done in the Yoga of wisdom. Set thy heart upon thy work, but never on its reward. Work not for the reward; but never cease to do thy work.” — The Bhagavad Gita

We need to think of each other as sisters and brothers, and to be concerned with each other’s welfare. We must seek to lessen the suffering of others. Rather than working to acquire wealth, we need to do something meaningful, directed toward the welfare of humanity as a whole.

In a different time zone, so I woke up to the Uvalde news. As usual, the people making such things possible are demanding that we refrain from politicizing the horror. Hell no. Unrestricted access to deadly weapons is a political choice, and we should say it 1/

I do not want to read a single profile of the shooter. Enough.
Nothing will allow us to predict which of the many, many troubled young man will turn to a mass shooter. Zero public interest in the individual details.
It’s the access to the deadly gun that’s the key. That’s it.

HERE WE GO!! 1 of the call centers that we featured (been operation for a DECADE) is shut down. 15 senior officials arrested. This is just the first battle. We’ve had some encouraging discussions with the @KolkataPolice. This is their moment though. The world is watching.

1. When I took logic in high school, my favorite logical fallacy (yes, I had one - don't judge) was "argument of the beard". I actually think it informs some of the current arguments about masks, airplanes/buses/trains, and other aspects of pandemic response. 🧵

Incredible testimony on BFMTV from this mayor of Melitopol who was kidnapped for several days by the Russians. He says they had no idea what’s going on. They told him we’re here to get the Nazis - he said I’ve been in this town 30 years and I’ve never met one…. then they said

Ukraine needs weapons to win, not words of support and a partition stalemate. Ukraine deserves to know we are doing everything we can, not everything that Putin allows. Ukraine deserves to be whole, to be free, and to achieve victory. Glory to Ukraine. 13/13

Warsaw and other cities and towns throughout Poland are covered in signs, posters and flags showing support for Ukraine and offering various free services for refugees. Imagine completing a harrowing multi-day journey from a war-zone and arriving to this. “We are with you.”
