"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.

This article is full of great points about how centering men in our culture harms everyone.
"Conservatives keep the focus of their scapegoating on “men in women’s sports and bathrooms” as a danger. However, the real threat is to precarious manhood on multiple levels. Trans existence makes the performance of gender explicit. If manhood can be given up, transitioned into, or claimed by anyone, then it can’t be the fixed, essential category that the entire edifice of male supremacy is built on."

I'm GenX. Caitlin Jenner has been famous for most of my lifetime. She came to fame in the Olympics in an event that the US had long abandoned as not something we could win at and yet she won.
She became an international spokesperson for personal perseverance and success. The '80's "Me" generation loved that stuff.
I bring this up with that now common definition of conservatism being about in groups the law protects but doesn't bind and out groups the law binds but doesn't protect.
Caitlyn has been in the in group for so long and supported that structure for so long that she thought she would always be the exception to the rule. She's learning now what many people have already experienced. She's not special enough to stay in the in group. No one is. Eventually fascism comes for everyone, even the leader.

I remember asking myself at points over these years of Trump if this was the moment I and those like me around the country were losing the war. It inspired me to try harder and remind myself and others of the need to act.

This implies it isn't wrong when they do it to noncitizens.
It is always wrong to do violence to people who, in these arrests, are just going about their day peacefully before being attacked.
It is wrong to capture and imprison people for assumed civil infractions, which is what entering the US illegally is. And it is wrong to assume they are guilty of a civil infraction due to their skin color, which is what Kavanaugh stops are.

From @npub1crs…wxat #KSLNews, a story by Gail Miller about her husband.
"Larry H. Miller served on various community boards, where he'd get stipend checks that he'd cash and store away in a suitcoat pocket tucked in a closet of their home. It was money they'd set aside for any unexpected costs throughout the year, he'd explain.
"'We used that money to help individuals throughout the year when we saw a small need — something that could use a few hundred dollars, maybe. And then, whatever was left at the end of the year, we'd use to support families at Christmastime,' recalled Gail Miller, co-founder of the Larry H. Miller Company and chair of The Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation.
"Looking back on it now, that suitcoat pocket became practice for philanthropy and the 'spirit of giving,' she added."
This story is nuts to me. This had to have been at a time when he was successful enough to get invited on boards. That's means he at least owned one car dealership. Probably more.
Yet, he kept his thousands in stipends from the boards in cash at home for whatever and sometimes that whatever was charity.
This woman is currently a billionaire. She owns several sports teams as well as car dealerships and theaters. She thinks that was a relatable, feel-good story. She thinks giving $10 million to homeless services in a state where her power alone could positively affect housing and tax policy is something laudable. This is pulling out loose change effort for a crisis affecting hundreds of thousands.
This is a story reported by a #TCoJCoLDS #LDS #Mormon church owned news affiliate. This church takes 10% tithing of all members and mostly uses it for itself and its investing while it claims to use it for charity. That's #Utah for you.

This is a great article. It made me think about the content I'm consuming. Especially this sentence:
"What you never feel is genuinely confronted with something that makes you question your assumptions or change your behavior."
I do consume media that makes me question my assumptions. They're mostly podcasts. They've grown their own podcasting networks, either informally (anyone who has November Kelly as a host or even a guest on their podcast) or formally (Cool Zone Media). Some are connected to more traditional sources (Dissent Magazine's Know Your Enemy or Slate Media's Amicus). I started with The Dollop and You're Wrong About and theur formats informing me of real history and people I didn't learn in school or in mainstream news. I expanded out from there.
Basically, I don't watch TV at all, except when visiting family. I support my favorites of these pods mostly through Patreon, which is a flawed system, as they surely take a cut of the proceeds. That's how most of my favorites can exist. Either that or ads, depending on what they're willing to put up with surrounding their content.
@npub1wkr…yvj6 makes good points in this article, though. It doesn't make for a common culture that can build a movement. It's reliant on people being able to focus on content, which I can't always do, depending on my work. It's funding is limited and dependent on getting and keeping audiences.

I can attest it took me about 2 years of financial stability for that ambient constant anxiety level to finally settle down. I was only financially unstable for 2 years in my mid 20s. So that's 4 years of adverse health effects. My only two traffic citations occurred in that period, too. When I could least afford the fines.

"The contract proposal 'severely degrades child-centered legal services, breaches children’s confidentiality by sharing their private information with the government, and prioritizes efficiency and cost saving over the safety and well-being of kids,' said Michael Lukens, the executive director of the Amica Center for Immigrant Rights, a legal advocacy group that provides legal representation to migrant children,"

I remember watching for years, reading about the mortgage-backed securities and house flipping and banks lending to people with no down payment mortgages on houses they couldn't afford. It took years expecting the bubble to burst and then when it did, I was surprised so many people were surprised.
You're right, though. The stock market is mostly gambling in the short term.

One thing about this has been forgotten. #USDA used to help stock food banks by buying from farmers.
So with #SNAP going unfunded, people are turning to food banks that are unusually under-supplied because of an earlier Trump action.

I reject this rationalization for more police and jail funding in Salt Lake County, Mayor Jenny Wilson.
If "homelessness, mental health, trauma and substance use" are problems, then more case workers, social workers, housing, and treatment resources are needed. Police and jails just inflict more pain on people who are already struggling with what problems they have.

Read this from @npub1mnv…lrsq and then contact your Senators and Representatives.
Tell them to reject any policy that removes civil and human rights from our fellow humans. This is the key to expanding the ICE imprisonment and deportation and abuse and murders to trans citizens. They won't stop with them. Fascism eventually turns on everyone.
Stop it now.

Do people have a "right to exist"? Yes they do. All people have that right, and trans people are people.
Read this.
ETA: Oh, and a note to Heritage? There is no "fundamental science about human sex being biologically determined before birth, binary, and immutable.”
Humans are mammals. Mammals can be born intersex. There are many, many ways to be visibly and invisbly intersex. There are even more ways to be trans because gender and sex are a spectrum.
Your religion insists on a binary so as to ensure one gender has power to control the other. That's not science. That's belief.

He's referencing the plagues on Egypt in the story of Moses. Mostly, insects and diseases.
Practically, it's more using the scriptures to justify Israel's attacks. They also used it shortly after October 7 to advocate genocide.
