As if the Southern Poverty Law Center wasn’t already looking like a menace instead of a respected civil-rights outfit, now comes evidence that one of its top execs was sending donor cash to the white supremacist she was shacked up with. To be fair, it’s long been obvious that the SPLC is a racket exploiting liberals (especially in the media) desperate for right-wing threats to condemn; the nonprofit raked in billions over the decades to support its (shoddy) research, including a “hate map” and database on supposed hate groups. Now it stands charged with funneling funds to members of the...

Donna Murray Robinson, who was a TDCJ Parole Supervisor working with the Board of Pardons and Parole, posted on Facebook shortly after Anthony’s conviction and sentencing earlier this week.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has terminated several analysts responsible for drafting a notorious 2023 memo that smeared traditional Catholics as potential domestic extremists. Under Director Kash Patel, the agency took decisive action Friday, firing four intelligence analysts and one supervisory analyst tied to the document originating from the Richmond field office. This move marks a significant shift from the Biden-era FBI’s pattern of viewing faithful Christians with suspicion while downplaying real threats elsewhere. The memo, which relied on Southern Poverty Law Center data and other questionable sources, wrongly conflated devout Catholics adhering to historic Church teachings with violent radicals....

A longtime “Defund the Police” advocate who could be the next mayor of the nation’s capital has argued that American policing is “rooted in white supremacy” — and she, like NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, is also a member of Democratic Socialists of America.

City Council seat in 2020 with the backing of the DSA and on a “Defund the Police” platform following the George Floyd protests and riots, is now a leading contender to replace outgoing multi-term Mayor Muriel Bowser. The Democratic mayoral primary will be based on ranked choice voting for the...

The superseding indictment, which the DOJ said was returned by a grand jury in the Middle District of Alabama, alleges that $4.1 million worth of tax-exempt funds were used to pay informants inside extremist organizations, who then allegedly engaged in activities including recruiting new members and purchasing materials for cross burnings and Ku Klux Klan robes and hoods.
