"Fifty years fighting the Klan – now Trump’s DOJ targets anti-fascist investigators

The Southern Poverty Law Centre, for more than five decades devoted to tracking white supremacist and far-right extremist organistions, has pleaded not guilty to federal fraud charges brought by the Trump Justice Department.

The charges have been condemned by the SPLC’s leadership as a politically motivated assault on anti-fascist research.

The indictment was returned by a federal grand jury in Alabama. It charges the organisation with eleven counts including wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

SPLC interim chief executive Bryan Fair entered the not-guilty plea at a Montgomery federal court hearing on Thursday with a tentative trial date set for 5 October 2026."

I knew it was happening still it gives me a special kind of sick to my stomach to read a US.Gov website and find it full of lies. #SPLC is a client I take donation calls. Their slogan is help fight hate so of course the current Hate based administration is after them. Guy just called to find out how much of his donation will go to the KKK and I burst out laughing. I get C- for professionalism.

Ironic since I am sure he would happily donate to the KKK. HelpFightHate.org if you can. #uspol 🤢 😿

Notes on a Non-Profit Indicted for Bank Fraud:

Really fascinating and in-depth (i.e. long) look at the Southern Poverty Law Centre and associated Change The Terms coalition's work in the global fight against terrorism, hate speech and online misinformation, including their position in the financial system and how they've used that to disrupt funding to those groups.

The author clearly has positions on topics, so read with a critical eye.

Supreme Court Guts Voting Rights Act in "Devastating Blow" to Democracy & Civil Rights: Maya Wiley

YouTube

Hey, guys. Can we calm the fuck down about the #Fidelity #Vanguard thing? They have always had guidelines not to allow contributions to organizations that have been charged with a crime. This is nothing new.

And if you're rich enough to have a donor-advised fund with a broker like this, just take a deep breath and do like the rest of us poor schmucks and write a fucking check to #SPLC. It's not that hard, & they'll appreciate it. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/fidelity-vanguard-other-donor-advised-funds-can-block-certain-grants-here-s-why/ar-AA221tpk #Southern_Poverty_Law_Center

Maya Wiley: Southern Poverty Law Center Indictment Is Part of Trump’s Broader Attack on Civil Rights

Attorney and civil rights activist Maya Wiley responds to the Justice Department’s fraud case against the Southern Poverty Law Center, which centers on the group’s history of paying individuals to infiltrate white supremacist groups in order to monitor their activities. The SPLC has rejected the charges as politically motivated, saying its informant program was used to monitor threats of violence and that the information gathered was routinely shared with local and federal law enforcement. “It’s political persecution,” says Wiley, head of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, a civil rights coalition that includes the SPLC. “There’s a pattern in the development of tyranny in countries across the globe where the person who wants to have that power finds ways to discredit the lawful advocacy of organizations that are fighting to ensure that democracy survives,” she says.
