Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
The SPLC is literally comprised of top-tier attorneys who will wipe the floor with the DOJ in court
This article doesn't use the word "terror." Is the DOJ really using that word somewhere?
Wouldn't using that word be an admission that the National Alliance and/or the Ku Klux Klan were terrorists? I bet this regime doesn't want to do that.
Legal and logical consistency really isn't a thing with these people
The charges are that they "defrauded donors" by paying informants in right-wing hate groups, and somehow wire fraud for paying those informants. Whether any of that is actually illegal is dubious
Thats not the point.
The point is that the DOJ now sends a bunch of people to harass and assault anybody associated with the SPLC. Doesnt matter if the DOJ looses, they dont care about that, just dragging the case out to cost the SPLC money.
I don't know if those claims hold water. Who is assaulting people associated with the SPLC again? And the costs associated with litigation are largely attorney's fees...
uh huh, im sure you dont.
The federal government, who have demonstrated that they are downright eager to harrass, assault and/or execute anybody who isnt particularly fond of Nazis the KKK or christofascists in general (or anybody who embarrasses them in any way).
Sure, which the SPLC now has to spend defending itself against spurious lawsuits instead of helping people.
The Fed doesnt care about the cost, they can make taxpayers pay for it. They dont care if they win or lose, winning or losing isnt the point (although the courts may be corrupt enough anyways).
