SPLC has been one of my target charities for years. I'm retired, very old, white, female, and intensely angry. Thank you for standing strong. We fucking need the truth right now!!!

Well said! I too am an old white female retiree who has donated to this worthy effort for decades. Totally fucking agree!

Thank you very much for speaking the truth and standing with the SPLC. One clarifying thing this insane case highlights is how much of a Neo-Confederacy this fascist, corrupt regime actually is.

On the plus side, chances are good that the added attention will bring more donations to the SPLC. Thanks for having their back!

Al Keim's avatar

Yes Tracy! SPLC is a 'cultural heritage' we can all be proud of.

I just donated to the SPLC. I hope others will too!

"if you surveyed donors to the organization, they have already stated or would almost undoubtedly say that investigating hate is exactly what they wanted to support and that these claims are reprehensible." As a past and current donor to the SPLC, I totally agree. I increased my donations when Trump was elected.

The Civil War continues to be fought by the Confederacy by whatever means they can. They never gave up.

I lived in the panhandle of Florida for a few years (around 2020) and I said that all the time: the Confederacy is still alive, they're still fighting the Civil lWar, and they think they are winning! That's why I left that area. Terribly racist and continually protecting "our southern way of life" (that's code for "racist").

The only difference is that now the confederacy is wearing suits and ties.

i always secretly thought that was true. thanks for saying it outloud.

You write: "Blanche accuses the group of “manufacturing racism to justify its existence.” Patel claims the SPLC 'allegedly engaged in a massive fraud operation to deceive their donors, enrich themselves, and hide their deceptive operations from the public.'”

So, once again, and no surprise, this regime is accusing others of doing what they have done, are doing, or will do shortly.

It is so brazen.

And, honestly, I don't understand how it continues to continue.

It is shameful that Trump was somehow reinstalled in the White House in 2024; it is more shameful that he and his evil cohort are still there.

Blanche is a moron. "Manufacturing racism?" Tell that to the people in Birmingham who got billy clubbed, attacked by dogs and sprayed with firehoses. Or the families of the innocent girls who were murdered in a church bombing. This bullshit boils my blood. I can't wait until I see Blanche in jail for obstruction of justice over the Trump-Epstein files and his cushy treatment of that monster Ghislane Maxwell.

Susan Leshner's avatar

Thank you Norman Eisen! I have followed you since your time in the White House. Thank you for your courageous stand against this despot and his horrific DOJ.

Sharon Bagnell's avatar

Trust me, Mr. Blanche-- no one has to manufacture racism in this country. Look in the mirror.

How long before they seek an indictment of The Contrarian for publication of seditious material? Ridiculous yes. This admin knows no boundaries.

It’ll be the “Fahrenheit 451” battle of our lives

Haters are usually sneaking up from behind. They're back in the Government where they were before. We live in sickening times, again. NO back to Jim Crow! NORM throws legal 🥪. Go NORM Go.

Well THAT didn't take long, did it? Much more of this crap and I'll start to miss Pam Bondi...

My fidelity charitable fund just blacklisted the SPLC because of this attack.

Pam Birkenfeld's avatar

I am sure you protested, spread the word!

dan gusfield's avatar

Mine did as well. I wrote a comment about it two days ago, but I don't see it now. I have heard that Goldman DAFs also have blacklisted SPLC.

John Frangelico's avatar

I had never before donated to the SPLC. Yesterday I made my first donation and will certainly make more. This travesty of a prosecution by the Department of Injustice is a monstrous outrage.

As long as we continue to allow him to remain in the White House, the worse off will America surely be.

We are allowing the T. Dump administration to destroy our democracy. We the people are allowing the replacement of our democracy with Fascism.

He must be arrested now. He must be charged with the crimes he is committing.

Just look at the situation we are putting our children in.

History will NOT treat us gently, mark my word.
