| I guess we might see as the case actually starts up, but I tend towards this basic posture: > Infiltrating hate groups with informants is something that goes way back to the civil rights era and before. It's never been something only the government can do, especially when the government is more likely to be showing up for the white power happy hour every third Thursday at Chili's. https://bsky.app/profile/andycraig.bsky.social/post/3mjzzezd... And to be extremely skeptical of this administration working in good faith. The lawfare to destroy the good, to destroy institutions, by the very worst, is just out of control. The expression of power of the rich to destroy has gone up and up and up, and they keep getting by even as they destroy load bearing elements of society: > I will say, frivolously suing a nonprofit for fraud has become A Thing recently. See, e.g., James Huntsman's suit against the Mormon Church or Elon Musk's against OpenAI. > But rich people wasting money to punish nonprofits they no longer like is one thing;* the government doing it is another. https://bsky.app/profile/smbrnsn.bsky.social/post/3mk224wrzm... The FBI had been paying the SPLC to do just this sort of thing, until the new extremist administration stepped in. The people waging this case know all that. The donors new the work the SPLC did. And it's quite clear they can't be expected to show receipts, and safely show where all the money goes. https://bsky.app/profile/tomjoscelyn.bsky.social/post/3mk25s... More despicable illegitemate mis-governance as usual by the most chaotic evil US government we have ever had. |
This is them applying a bias against an institution they don’t like by framing it as fraud and abuse (while they ransack the country at levels 100x larger)
