The Department of Justice instructed prison auditors across the country to simply stop assessing whether facilities are violating laws designed to shield LGBT+ prisoners from sexual abuse
The U.S. Department of Justice will “immediately” stop enforcing a swathe of federal regulations protecting trans and intersex prisoners from rape and sexual assault, according to leaked documents.
In a memo obtained by the non-profit news outlet Prism, DoJ official Tammie M. Gregg told prison auditors across the nation to “immediately pause” all “compliance determinations” for key safety rules concerning LGBTQI+ inmates, and advise prisons to “disregard” them.
Those rules include requiring trans and intersex prisoners to be allowed separate showers, banning body searches purely for the purpose of finding out what genitals they have, and requiring prison staff to consider their safety when assigning them to male or female wings.

Fixed
They’ll have another No Kings march in a few months. That should do it.
But it’ll be on Saturday and that’s when oligarchs housewives is on tv.
You mean the cute little parade, right?
Only if the weather’s nice. And if they get all their permits beforehand.
I’ve been told asking anything more from people is too much because they have families and jobs. I get the feeling they’re not looking further ahead to where the fascism and blatant disregard for human rights affects them. Every day it creeps closer.
Right, because no one in history who ever put themselves at risk had a job, family, dreams, hopes, or anything to lose. Americans’ heroes, in their eyes, were all just superhuman Disney characters who never really were in danger of losing anything and whose victory was guaranteed.
That is unironically half the problem. We have a totally mythologies view of our own history that has made us damn near incapable of repeating it
Ah yes, blame the people not in charge just like the ruling class likes.
Given your constitution it is absolutely the peoples’ fault that the ruling class exists.
I am pretty sure you mean that we exist because of the ruling class. The American Revolution wasn’t really a popular uprising. It was a bunch of wealthy people seizing power through propaganda and terrorism.
There was never the “people” as you put it. It was a country by the rich for the rich with a nice helping of liberal propaganda the placate the masses.
You are armed to the teeth.
Cowardice or disinterest are your only excuses.
Blah blah. You can’t change something if you don’t understand it.
