The TrumpedDOJ claims donors who contributed to SPLC's successful effort to dismantle the KKK were defauded because SPLC used paid informants...to dismantle the KKK
The transparent effort to weaken SPLC/intimidate other civil rights orgs should, and likely will, fail, as @lizdye.bsky.social explains
Republicans in April 2026:
Why is GDP growth poor: Biden
Why is the debt exploding: Biden
Why is inflation up: Biden
Why is gas so high? Biden
Why are we at war with Iran: Obama
Why are groceries high? Biden
Why are you talking about a $1.5T military budget: Biden
California Attorney General Rob Bonta tells @macfarlanenews.bsky.social the proposed merger between Paramount Global and Warner Bros. is under active investigation—and “not a done deal.”
Bonta says there are “red flags everywhere.”
The state will decide within a few weeks if it will sue.
The Kansas Department of Labor is notifying more than 8,500 individuals that they received overpayments for unemployment insurance, including some issued during the COVID-19 pandemic, and must repay the funds. #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2026/04/23/k...
Oh so that was a lie
PabloReports: What do you make of Stephen Miller and Tom Homan asking for all this money but then refusing to show up to the hearing today?
Frost: That’s what happens when you have a lapdog as speaker.
Exactly. Blanche is the one who cut a deal with Maxwell to waive her sex offender status. He got her “out custody” and moved her to club fed. He’s the Michael Cohen of the Epstein era.
Trump said a year ago he was going to balance the budget selling these gold cards.
JUST IN: Judge benchslaps Newsmax for "apparent forum shopping" for filing antitrust suit against Fox in FL, then for "no good reason" refiling in WI. Judge William Conley (Obama/WIWD) sends suit back to FL. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The Epstein crisis is escalating.
Reports say Ghislaine Maxwell may be seeking a pardon as lawmakers demand answers from the DOJ over missing files and unanswered subpoenas.
This isn't going away.
VARNEY: Do you have a plan to mitigate this fertilizer problem, Madame Secretary?
BROOKE ROLLINS: Yes. We have been every day now for almost 50 days having daily meetings in the White House. During the Biden years...
VARNEY: But what is the plan? You've had lots of meetings, but what is the plan?
"From a legal standpoint, this indictment is crap. From a political standpoint, it’s an effort to avenge the KKK and enshrine white supremacy in America. Both should be dismissed with prejudice." — @lizdye.bsky.social
I'm noticing that even some Fox hosts are getting tired of every Trump cabinet official pivoting to "but Biden" 16 months into Trump's presidency to avoid accountability for anything they do. Or fail to do. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Wasn't there once some issue where the President's son was supposedly (though without much evidence) profiting off of his father's Presidency and it was the worst thing in the world during the last administration...
"The indictment is a grotesque attempt to recast white people as real victims of racism. In the DOJ’s telling, advocates who spent decades dismantling the Klan are its secret benefactors, 'enriching' themselves by secretly creating racism — something in such short supply it can only be generated."
Imagine your tax dollars going to pay for a fire department that refused to fight a fire where a gay couple lived. That's what vouchers are.
Overwhelmingly, the American people do not want this in their capital. Does that matter at all to Republicans or does it only matter what their cult leader wants? This attitude is why they are going to get cooked in the midterms. bsky.app/profile/atru...
“The indictment is a grotesque attempt to recast white people as the real victims of racism. In the Trump DOJ’s telling, the civil rights advocates who spent decades mapping and dismantling the Klan are somehow its secret benefactors, “enriching” themselves by secretly creating racism…”
Trump’s morning posts:
— Let’s kill Iranians who don’t want a deal
— I’m ordering the Navy to shoot any boat putting mines in the Strait
— We actually have full control over the Strait
— I don’t need a deal
Imagine, if you will, how Fox would have reacted had Hunter Biden bragged about something like this on CNN.
"You have a successful effort at times to muzzle conservatives, and when you learn about what's alleged in the indictment it should make you check yourself" -- Acting AG Todd Blanche is on Newsmax taking a victory lap for the SPLC indictment, giving away the game as to what this is truly about
New in PN: "Now, as part of the project to undo Reconstruction, the DOJ hopes to take out the SPLC using the very tools it used to defeat the KKK. And along the way, they can exculpate every bigot who ever swung a tiki torch. *Those boys weren’t bad, they were just stirred up by outside agitators!*"
The president's son, who was never involved in this industry before his father became president, should not be getting contracts from the Pentagon. This is absurd corruption that Republicans in congress will say nothing about and do no oversight. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Q: Ken Paxton said requiring the Ten Commandments in public classrooms is a ‘major victory for our moral values.’ Your response?
Talarico: I’m not sure if Ken Paxton is in a place to lecture us on moral values. The only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they’re on a mission from God.
Kash Patel turns reality on its head: "You have to ask yourself about the explosion of crime under the Biden administration, and thankfully President Trump was put in place to tamp it down."
(The crime wave that ended under Biden started during Trump's first term.)
Fragile snowflake Hegseth was jealous.

Keep your heads up @splcunion.bsky.social. Thank you for your important work.

Ossoff: "The financial entanglement, the way UAE money, Emirati money has compromised this WH is astonishing. It may be one of the most significant scandals in US history. Who are Trump's 2 chief negotiators? Kushner & Witkoff. The people doing diplomacy are at the same time on personal business."
