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
TheĀ U.S. Department of Justice will āimmediatelyā stop enforcingĀ a swathe of federal regulations protecting trans and intersex prisoners from rape and sexual assault, according to leaked documents.
In a memoĀ obtained by the non-profit news outletĀ Prism, DoJ official Tammie M. Gregg told prison auditors across the nation to āimmediately pauseā all ācompliance determinationsā for key safety rules concerning LGBTQI+ inmates, and advise prisons to ādisregardā 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.
Okay Iām game. Whatās the plan? Or where are we meeting? Because its going take rebellion to fight against these fascist. No voting it away. Oh and we must plan it without using our phones or social media since they track everything.
Opps guess already failed that by asking the above questions. And no way can we organize a rebellion or protest that doesnāt have to be first announced on social media. Like those No Kings Protest. Bet everyone who attended now on a list somewhere and when ready ICE will round us all up. Remember they are using the nazi playbook. And one of them is to round up undesirables and people who are against them.
With the Supreme Court about rule against birthright citizenship it is just another stepping stone until they can round up citizens and put us in camps. If we allow it get to that point it will be to late to fight back and win.
If you put the same energy you put into that defeatist attitude and writing that comment into problem-solving and bravery, maybe weād have a solution.
Iāve tried to organize multiple things myself, the only issue Iāve had is no one ever actually does anything. Because Americans only like to complain and not actually do anything.
You arenāt scared enough.
Iām LGBT, severely disabled, the child of an immigrant if weāre really bringing that birthright stuff up, pretty radically left and have been TOO vocal about it, and probably on a list, and I donāt even know if Iāll be alive 1, 5, or 10 years from now. I donāt have much left to lose. Apparently most people do, or else theyād feel compelled to act.
can we organize?
If youāre serious, Iām willing. DM me. That applies to you and anyone else who sees this comment and actually wants to do something.
Just keep in mind that Iām chronically ill, so I may not respond immediately.
i would, but i CANāT go outside without permission - iād help with the organizing, but i will NOT attend the protest, sorry. seriously!
Thatās fine. Like I said, Iām chronically ill. Iām mostly housebound. There are many ways to make a difference.
