Thanks Chris for your constant focus and illumination on important legal & related news. Proud SPLC donor, vocal supporter, volunteer, spreader of information and education bestowed by SPLC for 3-ish decades now. Feeling great about my $$'s and their impact and importance.
This is way beyond ironic and tragic. For years the SPLC was the main and most reliable repository of information about domestic terrorism. Because the establishment of both political parties (led by those from former confederate States) refused to pay responsible attention to this problem (especially by the FBI) the SPLC was the most reliable resource in the nation preserving justice and democracy. This is outrageous and reflects the deeply unAmerican values of the MAGA movement. Wait until they find out that the SPLC is a beloved institution.
Nothing like the Trump DOJ to remind you that your differences with an organization over their tactical and rhetorical choices is trivial compared to real outright thuggery.
You know, the Blue Team needs to “forget about restoring norms” if they’re able to get the reigns back from these fascist brutes and deliberate morons. They need to exercise the same willingness to puke on “norms” when they go after these pettifogging bastards and the actual racketeering operations raping the United States. “Antifa” doesn’t exist, but Project 2025 and Affinity Partners do.
So let me get this straight—you run a covert program for years, funnel millions to “sources,” hide the mechanics behind shell structures, don’t fully disclose it to donors, and then when it surfaces, it’s suddenly “nothing to see here”? That’s a tough sell. Southern Poverty Law Center can call it “informants,” critics can call it “paid agitators”—but the core issue is transparency and representation. If money was raised under one premise and used under another, that’s not just optics—that’s exposure. They got Bannon for the same thing in the "Build The Wall" charity. And if the SPLC practice ended recently, the timing matters. Questions about accountability don’t disappear just because the program did.

What’s next? Reparations for the heirs of slave owners? O, a clear violation of white civil rights!
Every accusation is a confession in Trump's world.

isn't there a statute of limitations around here somewhere? Discovery by defendants on this should be verrrry eeenteresting.

In French, “white supremacist”=“Partisan de la suprématie blanche” Seems appropriate

I'm flashing back on every article I saw after Trump's 2016 win saying it wasn't racism, it was the economy. These people...
