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.
If you’re serious, I’m 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 I’m chronically ill, so I may not respond immediately.
That’s my whole point you think what we say on Lemmy is private. Even If DM you they will kmow. We can’t plan a rebellion not the kind we need using social media. Can you read between the lines and understand what has to be done? We must not use phones, or write it down, and must be done in as much secret as possible.
Like at this point you’re starting to convince me that you’re some right winger or bot intent on discouraging change. I can’t take you seriously.
Bold of you to assume I was keeping it to DMs and bold of you to assume my plan had anything to do with anything you mentioned.
Although maybe jumping to conclusions is your problem.
I can also tell you never read any of my comments besides the ones you thought you could respond with a “gotcha.” I already have a target on my back. I’ve had no choice but to be in the privacy game for years for my own survival. If you think being reliant on the government to stay alive doesn’t mean you have to walk on eggshells 24/7, you are extremely ignorant and not the leftist you might think you are.
i would, but i CAN’T go outside without permission - i’d help with the organizing, but i will NOT attend the protest, sorry. seriously!
That’s fine. Like I said, I’m chronically ill. I’m mostly housebound. There are many ways to make a difference.
