"The roster, used by the Chaplain Corps, no longer excludes The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from those identified as Christian faiths, as was the case in a version released Friday. That’s because the directory no longer categorizes any faith groups as Christian."

So... the #LDS church is still powerful enough to affect some change, but not enough to mean it isn't going to change in the future when their power has been worn away more.

This is what fascism does. Ultimately, everyone is vulnerable to the rabid need for more victims to feed the hate. Don't like it, #MikeLee? #JohnCurtis? Then stop supporting the fascists. Stop feeding them victims.

#Trans people are people. #Immigrants and refugees are people. All people have the same inalienable human rights. That doesn't change because you like them or not. That doesn't change because they are or are not citizens.

If you target other people to lose their rights, your own rights are then vulnerable. We are only free when all of us are free.

Who’s Christian? After pushback, proselytizing from LDS lawmakers, Pentagon revises its list of religions.

Latter-day Saints are still not included on the Defense Department’s “Christian list.” But neither is any other church.

#MittRomney will be replaced by a guy who sure sounds a lot like Mitt Romney.

#Republican Rep #JohnCurtis, who has occasionally bucked #Trump, won a crowded #GOP #primary on Tues for Romney’s #Utah #Senate seat. He beat Trent Staggs, a #MAGA candidate w/ Trump’s blessing, to secure a win for the mainstream GOP in a devout #Mormon state that has long proved skeptical of Trumpian #politics.
