Are you all incapable of understanding the concept of a few informants in a giant group? So strange. Law enforcement has been familiar with this concept for years and yet you struggle.

NP. The indictment is pretty troubling and I say this as someone who has been an SPLC donor.

Literally not what’s alleged at all.

How does paying informants to help dismantle hate groups fund said hate groups? Did the informants give all the money to the organizations they were recruited to bring down? That seems like an important detail that would be highlighted throughout the indictment if it were true. But for some reason it’s not. Curious.

And yet, Trump rushed to defend Unite the Right. Maybe he shouldn’t be such an easily fooled reactionary?

This is part of the Administration’s plan to discredit and dissolve nonprofits.

They are distorting the facts for soundbites to shock people.

Anyone with half a brain realizes their tactics were aimed at infiltrating and disrupting hate groups…which they succeeding at. They obviously don’t—and weren’t—supporting hate groups.

This is so ridiculous. When will this madness end?

If they polled donors, they would undoubtedly support the tactics to disrupt hate groups. Duh.

DOJ should be ashamed.

Congress needs to step up.

1. I totally agree.

2. SPLC was nuts to do this. Very, very poor judgment, especially given the amounts allegedly involved. If I were a donor, I’d be furious.

I don’t trust the amounts are correct.

Anyone in Dcumlandia work at a nonprofit that did or still does receive federal funding?

In short:

The Admin is targeting/harassing nonprofits by alleging misconduct based on wrong or completely made up “facts.” IYKYK

ICYMI: the Admin’s goal is to dismantle the nonprofit infrastructure—particularly any that have perceived power (noting the ones with lawyers are big targets for this Admin).

All the Admin has to do is file a lawsuit to stir up trouble and tie an org up in litigation. Since SPLC relies on donations, alleging fraudulent use of donor dollars is a smart (albeit evil) tactic. To be clear: the admin wants to destroy the org’s reputation.

Bottom line: I have zero confidence in any numbers presented by the DOJ in any filing during this admin. Honestly, it’s hard to tell if their bad numbers are derived from lying or their incompetence. After all, the politicals and short bench of leftovers at most fed agencies aren’t the best.

Now is the time to rally for SPLC and other nonprofits targeted by the Admin.

Don’t let the bastards grind you down.

Paid agitators and agent provocateurs — and under cover law enforcement — are in every viral political movement.

Sure, but SPLC was supposed to be (and I thought it was) a good organization dedicated to eliminating racism, not provoking or trying to cause more of it.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is a clear, bipartisan voice in a sea of hate. They work for what is good and fair in the USA, by weeding out hate groups and exposing them.
Apparently, Trump has decided they don’t fit his agenda of division for the USA. He can’t destroy us if they exist.

Guess where I learned about the SPLC? In church, with my kids. To fight hate and injustice we need education and accountability.

Create extremist hoaxes and false flag psy ops to go viral, get more traction, generate more money. A classic racket.

There is no allegation in the indictment that they provoked anyone or paid anyone to be an agitator. They paid informants who already worked in these organizations to inform on what the organizations were doing, so that any criminal activity could be reported to law enforcement.

Even the tweet that keeps getting highlighted in this thread says only that one of the informants was someone who organized transportation to an event. It doesn’t allege that he used money from the SPLC to do any of that. It’s also not alleged that he acted as an agitator at the event, which, as you know, was the Unite the Right Rally that President Trump declared was perfectly innocuous and not racist.

Nothing in the indictment supports this. You are lying.
