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…

@FRCdc

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/…

@AFPhq

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

https://twitter.com/Tyler2ONeil/status/1226893003035414531

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…

https://twitter.com/Tyler2ONeil/status/1226893003035414531

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

https://twitter.com/Tyler2ONeil/status/1226893003035414531

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

🚨UTTERLY INEXCUSABLE

The anti-conservative bias at the FBI goes deeper than you think.

This week, @ChuckGrassley exposed how more than 1,000 FBI staff responded to the notorious anti-Catholic memo citing the SPLC, and it's not pretty.

🧵1/8

dailysignal.com/2025/06/05/fbi…

According to Grassley's office, FBI Richmond disseminated the anti-Catholic memo to 1,000+ staff.

"No one contacted FBI RH with concerns, suggestions, or negative feedback," the report states. The office "only received positive input."😲

THAT in itself is a scandal.

🧵2/8

https://x.com/Tyler2ONeil/status/1623756222611570688

The FBI almost never comments on such things.

Yet the day after a whistleblower published the memo, HQ deigned to speak to the likes of me.

The memo, you see, "does not meet the exacting standards of the FBI."

Talk about an understatement.

🚨BREAKING

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which trades on its history bankrupting the KKK to smear conservatives as secret supporters of "white supremacy," has put the largest conservative youth org—@TPUSA—on the "hate map" with Klan chapters.

🧵1/15

dailysignal.com/2025/05/24/sou…

Every year, the SPLC puts out a new version of the "hate map," partly to scare donors into ponying up cash and partly to "cancel" its opponents—cutting them off from polite society.

This year, the "hate map" includes Turning Point USA.

🧵2/15

The SPLC accuses Turning Point and its founder, @charliekirk11, of propping up "white Christian supremacy."

Now, if Charlie Kirk were racist & theocratic, would Turning Point have a presence on more than 3K campuses?🤔

The EEOC under Biden tried to rewrite federal law to force gender ideology on state and local governments—and on every company that hires at least 15 people.

@KenPaxtonTX and @Heritage sued.

This week, a judge threw out the EEOC guidance.

🧵1/12

Bear with me: the case is complicated but as I lay it out, you'll see just how outrageous it is.

Also, please bookmark the first post in this 🧵, so you can go back to it. I'll walk you through how Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk just eviscerated the Left's false narrative.

🧵2/12

First, @Heritage Prez @KevinRobertsTX reveals why it's important:

“The Biden EEOC tried to compel businesses—and the American people—to deny basic biological truth.”

The ruling means “You don’t have to pretend men are women. And you don’t have to lie to keep your job.”

No, this isn't a parody video.😲

A Democrat did literally invoke "trans Jesus" on the floor of the Colorado Senate.

Yet the legal maneuvering of Chris Kolker and his party in that chamber is even worse.

🧵1/10

dailysignal.com/2025/05/06/dem…

Brief refresher:

Colorado LGBTQ groups pushed for HB25-1312, a bill that would define "misgendering" and "deadnaming" as "coercive control" and mandate custody courts consider them.

Democrats excluded parental rights groups from discussion, comparing them to the KKK.

🧵2/10

The bill passed the Colorado House, 36 in favor, 20 against, and 9 absent in a largely party-line vote.

The Colorado House has 43 Dems and 22 Republicans. The Colorado Senate has 23 Dems and 12 Republicans.

Who are the Biden political appointees who "burrowed in" to the federal bureaucracy?🤔

The list includes a former White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council member, former USAID staff, and immigration lawyers.

I'll explain "burrowing in," then get to the names.

🧵1/15

First, what is "burrowing in?" @hughhewitt gave a good concise definition in an interview with me at @JobCreatorsUSA's Freedom Fighters Summit

Presidents appoint more than 3K people for "political" positions, but there are at least 2.3M federal workers. Most are in ostensibly non-political "career" positions.

Burrowing in involves switching from a "political" to a "career" position.

🧵2/15

Why is this a problem?

“The biggest challenge that every single new Cabinet secretary and their subordinates will face is the entrenched bureaucrat,” @TheFGA's @stew_whitson told me.

He described both overt opposition to the president and “quiet insubordination.”

One of the worst government abuses I've seen happened in the state where I went to college—Michigan.

It truly is Orwellian.

Michigan AG Dana Nessel launched a "Hate Crimes Unit" citing the SPLC, which compares conservative and Christian groups to the KKK.

One of the targeted groups, @aflc_freedomlaw, sued to block Nessel from placing his group under surveillance.

All this took place in 2019. The last move on the case happened in 2021.😲

Now, AFLC will finally have its day in court—in June.

Here's a thread on the case.

🧵1/10

dailysignal.com/2025/04/25/orw…

The case dates back to February 2019.

The SPLC released its hate map for 2018, and Nessel responded by pledging, "Hate cannot continue to flourish in our state."

"I have seen the appalling, often fatal, results of hate when it is acted upon," she added. "That is why I am establishing a hate-crimes unit in my office—to fight against hate crimes and the many hate groups which have been allowed to proliferate in our state."

That may sound noble, but if you know anything about the SPLC, it should be unnerving, if not downright terrifying.

🧵2/10

You see, the SPLC is no neutral arbiter on hate.

It champions almost every leftist cause you've ever heard of, and accuses those who dare disagree of being driven by "hate."

Do you follow the traditional Jewish or Christian teachings on sexuality? You're an "anti-LGBTQ hate group."

Want our immigration laws enforced? You're an "anti-immigrant hate group"—even if you have legal immigrants on the board.

Are you concerned about radical Islam inspiring terrorism? You're an "anti-Muslim hate group."

Do you think parents should have a say in their kids' education? You're an "anti-government extremist group" and on the hate map.

Last year, the SPLC even added groups of doctors who oppose "gender-affirming care" and @againstgrmrs to the "hate map."

When the FBI was caught citing the SPLC's "hate map" in targeting "radical traditional Catholics," it was rightly a huge scandal.
