Based on the reporting I have read, Ladar Levison acted ethically in shutting down his business. That is often, usually, an easy thing to do in our day to day activities. It is when there is a significant cost to pay for doing the right thing and no apparent downside, including public knowledge, to doing the wrong thing, that the right action is meaningful and praiseworthy, and worth supporting both in spirit and substance, IMO.
A few years ago I determined to not give any more monetary support to the Democratic Party. That decision has freed up some small amount, about fifty bucks a month max, to support other things which I might still see as offering value and to which I have some emotional or intellectual affinity.
I have not kept a record but most of the time it is either to a relatively small journalistic enterprise or to a legal defense fund. This month it goes to levison's legal defense fund.

As small as the affect of a small monetary gift and overt public support may be, I think it can be argued that that affect is larger and more significant on a national level than is a vote in a national election if you live in a state that is colored either red or blue. The direct benefit to the beneficiary, though still small, is probably immeasurably greater. Any suggestions for next month?
