The SPLC and CAIR are pressuring donor-advised funds to blacklist conservative and Christian "hate groups" in an attempt to defund their political opponents. DAFs had $121 billion in 2018. /1
pjmedia.com/trending/splc-…
In calling for this blacklisting, the report praises #ChangeTheTerms, a coalition of Soros-funded groups that pressure #BigTech to silence conservatives on the SPLC "hate group" list. /2 pjmedia.com/trending/splc-…
The entire report is very circular. In addition to citing Change the Terms, it cites a CAIR report from last year, urging philanthropic groups to blacklist "anti-Muslim hate groups," citing — once again — the SPLC "hate group" list. /3 pjmedia.com/trending/anti-…
The SPLC/CAIR report also cites Amalgamated Bank's "Hate Is Not Charitable" campaign, which is — sorry if I'm sounding like a broken record here — an attempt to blacklist SPLC-accused "hate groups." /4 pjmedia.com/trending/25-do…
Oh, and the report praises GuideStar for smearing groups like @FRCdc, @AllianceDefends, @CIS_org, @securefreedom, @ACTforAmerica, and others as "hate groups." GuideStar later recanted, but SPLC and CAIR wish it hadn't. /5 pjmedia.com/faith/2017/06/…
Urging donor-advised funds to blacklist these groups is a huge deal. DAFs represent a huge chunk of philanthropy in America today, and they allow donors some degree of anonymity with their giving. Leftists like to demonize donors to conservative groups, as @AFPhq knows well. /6
The SPLC "hate group" list is also notoriously corrupt and unreliable. Former employees have called it a "scam" because it exaggerates hate and is intended to destroy political opponents. A huge chunk of my book, #MakingHatePay, focuses on this. /7
To its credit(?), the report acknowledges that blacklisting falsely-accused "hate groups" might seem "controversial," but it claims this is important for "public safety," which is ironic since the SPLC "hate map" inspired an attempted terrorist attack in 2012. /8
The SPLC routinely peppers reports like this w/ references to white supremacist terror, the El Paso shooter (a radical environmentalist as well), and white supremacist groups, giving the impression that "hate group" has KKK connotations, which it does. /9 pjmedia.com/trending/splc-…
Yet the SPLC routinely argues in court that its "hate group" accusation is mere meaningless opinion. This report, like so many others, gives the lie to that claim — they cite the number of "hate groups" as a statistically significant measure for white supremacy. /10
It is important to note that this report praises iTunes, PayPal, and AmazonSmile for taking "measures to screen out hate from their platforms." What does this mean? These #BigTech firms have allowed themselves to be weaponized by the SPLC. /11 pjmedia.com/trending/its-b…
Make no mistake: the SPLC is an engine of defamation, fundraising, and political warfare. It aims to destroy the reputations of conservative and Christian groups, even going after their funding, while making wads of cash by exaggerating hate. /12
Donor-advised funds that are tempted to take this report seriously should check out my book, #MakingHatePay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Don't become a tool for the SPLC to further bilk its donors, defame law-abiding Americans, and worsen polarization. /13

🚨SILENCING IN THE NAME OF FREE SPEECH

The Congressional Black Caucus and 270 left-leaning groups tried to block me from testifying in Congress. Their rationale was extremely hypocritical and, dare I say, Orwellian.

🧵1/12

dailysignal.com/2025/12/18/orw…
CBC Chair @RepYvetteClarke said the hearing—which focused on my research on the SPLC—was a "deliberate effort to intimidate and discredit an institution that has spent decades defending civil rights, exposing hate, and advancing opportunity for all Americans."

🧵2/12 Image
Image
She said the hearing "undermines the very civil institutions that give everyday people voice, protection, and power."

So, she's endorsing the SPLC's "hate" accusations and failing to admit that the SPLC itself has undermined "civil institutions." More on that later.

🚨DEBUNKING DEMOCRAT SPIN

Here's @RepCohen's press release touting that he questioned the "smear" that the SPLC is anti-Christian, suggesting that he stood up against supposedly false claims.

But I know what really happened, because I was the witness.

🧵1/7 Image
Cohen did mention that some Christians support the SPLC. I don't disagree. It seems he thought I wouldn't be able to defend my assertion that the SPLC is anti-Christian, however.

I came ready to defend the claim.

🧵2/7
Here's theclip. Thanks to @chiproytx for allowing Cohen's questions to go over the 5 min in the @JudiciaryGOP hearing.

I noted that the SPLC, when branding @RuthInstitute a "hate group," cited as evidence @DrJrobackmorse's quoting the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

🚨CATHOLICS BEWARE

Gov-elect Abigail Spanberger apparently doesn’t consider it disqualifying for someone to endorse an activist group that considers the official teaching of your faith “hateful.”

🧵1/10

dailysignal.com/2025/12/05/chi…
Spanberger, the "moderate" "uniter," has nominated Stanley Meador to become secretary of public safety & homeland security.

Yes, it's the same Stanley Meador who led the FBI's Richmond office and approved the memo on "radical-traditional Catholics."

🧵2/10 Image
Image
To be sure, Meador has an impressive resume: he even earned a "Declaration of Valor" at the Pentagon on Sept. 11.

But that doesn't erase that he approved a memo citing the Southern Poverty Law Center on Catholicism. Spanberger needs to address this.

🚨RETALIATION?

The whistleblower account @Minnesota_DHS went viral after accusing Tim Walz of retaliation against whistleblowers amid the massive fraud scandals. X suspended the account. Conservatives think this was more retaliation.

🧵1/8

dailysignal.com/2025/12/02/ret…
“Certainly it was retaliation, the question is by whom?” @billglahn with @MNThinkTank told me.

He said the X account had been feeding him information only insiders would know.

🧵2/8 Image
State Rep. @KRobbinsMN suggested "someone went to X and said, 'They're not who they say they are,' which just is not true." Robbins told me that she has met in person with the whistleblowers behind the account.

🚨EXCLUSIVE

A major software company just stopped using a far-left smear factory to blacklist conservatives.

This is the latest domino to fall, suggesting Corporate America is finally seeing the light about the Southern Poverty Law Center.

🧵1/15

dailysignal.com/2025/11/26/exc…
Salesforce, a 75K-employee firm, uses Benevity to help workers make an impact. Benevity helps employees support causes they believe in, donating before taxes, matching grants, and volunteering. But Salesforce blacklisted conservatives using SPLC.

🧵2/15

SPLC leverages its reputation of suing KKK groups into bankruptcy, putting out a "hate map" that plots mainstream conservative and Christian groups alongside Klan chapters. How do you get on the map? By opposing the SPLC's agenda.

🚨WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ARABELLA?

The Left's dark money behemoth Arabella Advisors is no more, or so it seems...

The reality is far more complicated. I'll walk you through it.

🧵1/10

dailysignal.com/2025/11/23/wha…
Last week, a new company called Sunflower Services announced that it acquired the "fiscal sponsorship servicing business" of Arabella Advisors.

What is Sunflower? Well, it's a new company funded by... the nonprofits that used to work with Arabella.🤔

🧵2/10 Image
Meanwhile, Arabella Advisors filed a document with Virginia to change its name to "Vital Impact."

Arabella's former CEO, Himesh Bhise, will now head up Vital Impact.
