"Absolute Terror”: Lawsuit Alleges Maryland Trans Prisoners Face Rape, Medical Detransition, Defied Court Orders, Retaliation, and Torture, Despite AG Brown’s Condemnation of Trump Prison Policy Gov. Moore's prisons defied a judge’s order to follow standards to keep a woman safe from rape, as AG Brown has mounted "vigorous" defense against her lawsuit and lawmakers sideline meaningful reform

Violence against trans women in prisons and detention centers is not an accident, it's the intention of policies that place trans women with men.

See our previous reporting on the cruel nature of how prisons, even in supposedly "safe" states, intentionally put trans women in danger.

...and less than 24 hours later Condé Nast has fired Lex and the rest of the Teen Vogue political desk, even as stories like this were bringing huge numbers of readers to the site

He's not acting like a clown who has nothing to hide.
And the more he tries to redirect and deflect attention the more suspect he seems.
If there's nothing detrimental in those files he would have released it all long ago.

President Donald Trump's extended 60 Minutes interview
YouTube video by 60 Minutes President Donald Trump's extended 60 Minutes interview

Oh my dog, the UNedited version of His Magasty's interview is a horror show. He's a fucking moron. He's senile. He's a piss-frosted disaster. Shame on CBS for cleaning this up.

Our county is growing and growing and growing. We've recently taken in 28 colony cats who were displaced because of construction. Can you help us to feed them?
