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

Did the SPLC just admit that it's anti-Christian?🤔

This year's SPLC "hate map" includes @TPUSA & @PragerU alongside KKK chapters.

But SPLC also made a key blunder that undercuts its previous claims not to be "anti-Christian."

SPLC puts mainstream conservative & Christian groups on the "hate map" alongside Klan chapters, claiming it's the "infrastructure upholding white supremacy."

My book, "Making Hate Pay" explains how SPLC uses this to demonize opponents & raise 💰

In 2010, the SPLC added conservative Christian groups to the "hate map," branding them "anti-LGBT hate groups." At the time, SPLC intentionally did not put @FocusFamily on the hate map.

In 2012, an LGBT activist targeted @FRCdc for a mass shooting, using the map.

What if I told you a top advisor for Adam Schiff during Russiagate and the first Trump impeachment "burrowed in" to the federal bureaucracy and apparently is still there?😲

If anyone seems likely to oppose the Trump admin from within, it's him.

Meet Lucian Sikorskyj.

According to his verified LinkedIn profile, he serves as an associate administrator for security and hazardous materials safety at the FAA.

President Biden brought him in as a political appointee, but he switched to a "career" job in September.

🧵2/10 Image
So what if some FAA safety staffer once worked for Schiff? Why should I care?

It's called "burrowing in." Presidents appoint 3K people for "political" positions, but most of the 2.3M federal workers are in non-political "career" roles.

🚨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…Image
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.

🧵2/8Image

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…Image
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 Image
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 Image
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.
