I figured SPLC was first on the DOJ "terrorist" list. The GOP has hated and mocked them for years...the GOP doesn't believe in freedom and justice for all.

THAT'S the way to do it! Each time they do this to a good org., we should send a donation to whoever they're going after. Thanks for doing that : )

F*** the DOJ. Pennywise and his clowns need to be prosecuted!

Todd Blanche is attacking a bona fide left wing organization with donors, a long history promoting civil rights, a data base watchlist of confirmed hate groups, and a budget. The SPLC can and will hire legal experts to fight back. And they will win. Dumb dumb Pam Bondi wanted to attack phantom “Antifa” by declaring that anyone against fascism was a domestic terrorist. She couldn’t make a legitimate case. Trump’s DOJ must realize their time is very limited to try to galvanize their extremist supporters. They have been incompetent failures thus far. Looks like that will continue.

Is there a way for a supporter of SPLC to bring a lawsuit against the DOJ?

The DOJ claims faud was perpetrated on the SPLC membership but I do not consider myself de-frauded.

Au contrair, I'm impressed with the Center's tactics.

It would seem to me that only if members feel defrauded, can legal action be taken on behalf of the membership.

There must be a group of Trump-loving lawyers spending their days on trying to find ways to attack groups Trump doesn't like.

I’ve been a card carrying member of SPLC since 2019, when I went on The Nation’s Civil Rights Tour of Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, & Tennessee. It was life-changing, & I’m not going to stop donating now when they need more $$.

Although I was never a SPLC donor before, I will be now. It seems as SPLC got too close to Ka$h Patel and Todd Blanche's handlers. There's an old saying, "a hit dog's gonna holler". Bulls-eye!

Keep callin' 'em out boys! That is just more places to send my donations.

Oh, BTW, will they be indicting James O'Keefe, Andy Ngo, and their organizations, also? You know, paid far-right infiltrators?

Everything this corrupt Regime does is in their interests only. The DOJ has become a joke, they say they're going after criminals when they are the criminals themselves

God I hope I never even get a speeding ticket. This has become a legally scary place.

I’ve been a SPLC supporter for over 25 years. I’m happy that SPLC used my money to infiltrate these extremist groups to bring them down. I have no idea what Kashmir Patel is talking about…😀. This whole thing is scary. We have to keep resisting this insanity.

Huh, this is news I can use. I got grouchy at SPLC when Morris Dees got all handsy with the staff. Checking them out again to possibly turn my money bazooka back in their direction.

I took out a membership in ACLU last year, so I'm already a card-carrying, 'murrica-hating commie libtard. Bwahahaha!

thank you, Miles for this incisive deep dive and bringing us up for air - your astute capacity to crystallize these autocratic enactments across a broad swath of institutions is a service to our nation - an telepathic thank you note is en route to your parents now. no doubt these oligarchs would sequester the air for themselves . . . let's not let the idea of convening a constitutional convention vaporize - let's hold it in "fly-over" country signaling no more coastal elites. we're all in this together; whether we want to be or not, whether we like one another or not. we need to start with a foundational transformation our national mindset from one of scarcity to an abundance mindset. reformative tweaks won't cut it. today, everyday Earth Day.

I hope everyone reading this post donates to the SPLC, as I have been for years. Please. And thank you. This stuff gets scarier every day.
