The #SPLC came under fresh scrutiny after the murder last year of conservative activist Charlie Kirk brought renewed attention to its characterization of the group that Kirk founded & led. The SPLC included a section on that group, Turning Point USA, in a report titled “The Year in #Hate & #Extremism 2024” that [rightly] described the group as “A Case Study of the Hard Right in 2024.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center has faced intense criticism from #conservatives, who have accused it of unfairly maligning right-wing organizations as #extremist groups because of their viewpoints [you know the viewpoints of — #WhiteSupremacy #MaleSupremacy #heterosexism #WhiteChristianNationalism etc]. The #SPLC regularly condemns #Trump’s rhetoric & policies around #VotingRights, #immigration & other issues.

The investigation could add to concerns that the #Trump Republican admin is using the #DOJ to go after #conservative opponents & his critics. It follows a number of other investigations into Trump foes that have raised questions about whether the law enforcement agency has been turned into a political weapon.

He said the organization “will vigorously defend ourselves, our staff, & our work.”
The #SPLC, which is based in Montgomery, Alabama, was founded in 1971 & used civil litigation to fight #WhiteSupremacist groups. The nonprofit has become a popular target among #Republicans who see it as overly leftist & partisan [because #WhiteSupremacy is a-okay with Republicans].

“When we began working with informants, we were living in the shadow of the height of the #CivilRights Movement, which had seen bombings at churches, state-sponsored #violence against demonstrators, & the murders of activists that went unanswered by the justice system,” Fair said. “There is no question that what we learned from informants saved lives.”

The #SPLC previously paid informants to infiltrate #extremist groups & gather information on their activities, often sharing it with local & federal law enforcement, Fair said. It was used to monitor threats of #violence, he said, adding that the program was kept quiet to protect the safety of informants.

After years of allowing #religious schools in some settings to receive #state #funding alongside #secular schools, the 6-3 #conservative court will now decide what to do when school leaders assert that anti-#discrimination laws intended to protect #gay & #transgender people conflict with their religious beliefs. The appeal from the Catholic parishes will likely be heard in the fall & a decision is likely sometime next year.

The #Trump admin has eliminated DEI-related programs in the government. Several private firms have also rolled back such initiatives.
The #FTC letters were addressed to many of the country's largest & most profitable firms. 3 of them — Paul Weiss, WilmerHale & Perkins Coie — were targeted last year by Trump executive orders that threatened their business practices, citing in part their allegedly discriminatory hiring practices.
