Andrew Gillum Is ON IT! "We're Gonna Show Up. We Believe. We're Gonna VOTE AND WIN"!

Lover of the working class, living wages, ex-felon voting rights,' climate science, progressive Democrats and WINNING.

Because our lives depend on all that.

NO New Accounts in American Social Media Until the Election Is Over

Let social media run on current operating expenses for the next 90+ days.

Not by government decree, but by CEO's cooperation with the FBI in lessening new threats to the 2018 election.

That way, the only hacks FBI and intel agencies have to detect and stop are attacks from domestic hackers, trolls and bots, as tech teams continue to ferret out those bad players.

Granted, it still won't be easy, but there will be fewer fake accounts for the FBI and social media tech teams to wade through.

From the business perspective, social media lost money on their brands since the intel revelations of 2016, but this good will gesture can be a way to rebuild them.

From a national security perspective, a 90-day moratorium on new accounts from America's social media is a worthy, necessary, temporary sacrifice that these companies and their shareholders can make for the sake of democratic election integrity.

Love and Honor to James Baldwin On His Birthday

I will never forget my students' and my shared experience of reading one of America's greatest thinkers and writers.

Go Tell It On The Mountain and "Sonny's Blues" stand among America's greatest literary works.

I am deeply proud of this great American thinker; Americans should realize how great our culture is to the world because of him.

Please read James Baldwin.
