Thank you for your coverage of this issue and support for the
SPLC!! How desperate and absurd are those who try to pull off this type of persecution! Hopefully "Truth, Justice and the {true} American Way" will prevail soon!!??
That is a GREAT suggestion! We started donating to them monthly during Trump's first administration and never stopped. They are a venerable agency doing amazing things that we, as Americans, should be proud of. Thank you for getting the word out there!
The decision to sue the SPLC looks like a striking example of selective prosecution. It feels like this administration is willing to stretch the law in any direction if it helps chill First Amendment rights. I haven’t read the full complaint yet, but it’s hard to imagine how protecting people from the actions of hate groups became something worth federal scrutiny.
In my view, the people who donate to the SPLC know exactly how their contributions are being used, and they support that work because they believe it serves the public good. Groups like the Ku Klux Klan didn’t hide their intentions behind white hoods, and the idea of government agents operating with masks and secrecy raises its own set of concerns about accountability.
After decades of tracking extremist groups and advocating for civil rights, seeing the SPLC suddenly cast as a defendant is a stunning reversal that says a lot about where the legal landscape is shifting.
Thank you Mike for speaking out on behalf of SPLC. I've been a donor for a long time now and I donate to them because they do good work. When I read about this story before you put this article up I was wondering why they were going after them. And when I heard the same thing you did I said there is something wrong here. They have been doing good work for a very long time and this is why I donate to them. When you said they are now not working with the FBI because of "others" coming in to block it, it now makes a lot more sense. When you talk about corruption you bet there is a ton of it now, but it's not in SPLC. It's in the accusers for sure. They white wash or deny access to things that are true and even at times take the truth out and put in lies to fit their agenda. Thank you for writing this. The reason there are a bunch of agencies out there (ACLU is one) that were created to investigate and allow for prosecution, the bad things that happen to good people. And when I had read that they were funding people to investigate "hate" groups I said to myself, they've been doing this for years. But leave it to some of those that take a story, twist it to fit their agenda and it comes out with a totally different story. We have to keep fighting for the TRUTH and I know you will as well!
Amen, Mike!!! Although this is "frivolous"....guess who is paying for this and all of the bs stuff this regime is using our funds for ( eg Spirit bailout...no thank you)Lordy....
Thank you, Mike. I'm not particularly worried about this case, I don't believe they can win it. But it does appear that social media is running away with it and it's getting some reaction.
It's just another Trump march into Orwell. Black is white, yes is no, inverting everything moral and well-meaning into their version of evil. Pure projection of their own racism. And it sounds like it emerged from the nether regions of Stephen Miller. Trump was raised w/ racism and it's an intimate part of his psyche. If you can project it onto someone else, maybe you won't feel that pull of guilt in yourself.
When super-predators like the ones in power get desperate, they do get ugly in order to try to grab their few remaining supporters. Racism is so psychologically embedded in many Americans that they think they can whip it into a frenzy and get votes. It's so repulsive to the rest of us that it hopefully will backfire.
The SPLC is not enough well known by Americans. It just did its heroic work in the background. So maybe we'll finally learn to appreciate it?
THANKS for voicing the outrage about this situation. The DOJ is really outdoing itself: creating opposite world and feeding the #cognitive_dissonance of the public or more likely, the ever-shrinking MAGA "base"!
Trump and regime go after Southern Poverty Law because of its focus on far right extremism, racism, and authoritarianism, in other words, everything MAGA represents.

Ms Foster:
Do you agree with me that right now would be a good time to send a donation to SPLC? And to encourage donations from our friends?

You are such an important voice, Mike. Thank you for all your work, for speaking out loudly and intelligently to save our democracy.

I would imagine when the new Democrat administration takes office it won't be a surprise when the DOJ goes after Turning Point USA
Thank you! I appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Time to send K$H to a farm upstate.
Trump and regime go after Southern Poverty Law because of its focus on far right extremism, racism, and authoritarianism, in other words, everything MAGA represents.
100% Mike and you know you're on the right side when they won't let you argue your case.
