ACLU: US schools have too few guidance counselors. They have hired thugs instead. Instead of counseling, students get arrested. That sucks them into the school-to-prison pipeline.

The US Constitution presumes that the elected officials are honest people of good will, at many points in the electoral procedures. This gives a crook like the conman many points at which to try to discard an election in which he loses.

That is assuming he did not arrange to "win" the election by voter suppression.

*New Campaign Prepares Mass Mobilization Should Trump Refuse to 'Leave Willingly' If Defeated in November.*

*Corporate Media Are Focusing on Race — and Dodging Class.*

Not just the corporate media. Just about every organization that posts about an injustice nowadays feels obligated to talk about how it hits blacks more often.

Suppose an injustice fell on people randomly in an unbiased way — would that make it less bad? If racism did not exist, and people of whatever race were equally likely to suffer hunger, homelessness, lack of medical care, and persecution, would that make those afflictions acceptable? I'd still campaign to end them.

The conman declared a national emergency because the International Criminal Court plans to investigate Americans for war crimes.

The ICC investigates people for war crimes when their own countries fail to do so. The real shame here is that the US has not done this, not under Dubya, not under Obama, and still not under the bully.
