Consistency in principles isn't just ethical, it's practical. It's easier to remember and stand by what you truly believe.
We're at a crossroads: government surveillance money or free, open, private people's money. Choose wisely.
Levers of power attract the worst in society.

The light of truth must shine in the darkest corners of governance.
As we speak truth to power, let us also speak truth in power.
Friends, our #Quaker testimony of peace extends to the realm of politics. Let us seek ways to govern that do not rely on force or coercion.
Let us not be entangled in the strife of parties. Our allegiance is to truth, not to factions or worldly ideologies.
Found this yesterday. Still trying to figure out what it is.
True governance comes not from presidents or kings or billionaires, but from heeding the Inner Light that guides all.
To live free is to live in accordance with one's conscience, guided by the Inner Light, not by the dictates of mere humans.
