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.
Voting for a candidate that canāt win is worse than not voting. Third-parties actively harmed the process and used resources that could have been spent preventing this bullshit.
We live in a 2-party system. If you arenāt happy with the Dems, make that displeasure known in the primaries, then vote against the fascists in the general election no matter what. Itās not that fucking complicated.
