“The Southern Poverty Law Center is under attack because they are standing up against the erosion of our democracy.” - Rep. @hankjohnson.house.gov , at the second House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Southern Poverty Law Center #DissentIsNotACrime @civilrightsorg.bsky.social

Our president and CEO @maya4rights.bsky.social said it best: "SPLC has been targeted by extremists and their supporters for years — not because it is dangerous, but because it is effective. Today it is @splcenter.org. But in a sense, we are all SPLC." - #DissentIsNotACrime

Today’s House Judiciary Committee on @SPLCenter was a shameful spectacle designed to send a message to every civil rights organization in America: submit to this administration's will or you are next. #DissentIsNotACrime

Tell your Member of Congress: release all White House and DOJ communications on the @SPLCenter indictment, disclose every nonprofit flagged since January 2025, and expose coordination with financial institutions to cut off civil society. #DissentIsNotACrime

The House Judiciary Committee's decision to hold a hearing on the @SPLCenter is a spectacle designed to harm groups that help people, drain resources, frighten supporters, and silence demands of people and communities. This should concern us all. #DissentIsNotACrime

Wednesday’s hearing made clear that @splcenter.org is just the beginning. The Trump administration and its Congressional allies have built a playbook for targeting any organization they disagree with. No organization is safe from this abuse of power.

By attacking the SPLC, the House Judiciary Committee leadership is attempting to support the Trump administration’s campaign to silence voices of dissent. #DissentIsNotACrime

Weaponizing the DOJ against civil rights organizations is not normal, and we will not let it become so. Today, the House Judiciary Committee is singling out @splcenter.org, but an attack on one of us is an attack on all. #DissentIsNotACrime

Trump’s Amerikkka, where legality means nothing if you're Palestinian and outspoken. Mohsen Mahdawi's arrest is not a glitch—it's the blueprint. A test run for silencing dissent and weaponising immigration. #FreeMohsen #Palestine #ICETerror #Islamophobia #TrumpAmerikkka #DissentIsNotACrime

Mohsen Mahdawi walked in seeking citizenship, walked out in chains. This isn’t immigration policy—it’s political retribution. Legal status means nothing when ICE acts as judge, jury, and enforcer of ideology. #FreeMohsen #ICEAbuse #Palestine #AcademicFreedom #TrumpEra #Columbia #DissentIsNotACrime

Tuesday’s hearing on @SPLCenter is the latest attempt by the corrupt Trump administration to silence their critics and whitewash extremism. Forcing SPLC's leadership in front of Congress isn't about justice. It's about intimidation. #DissentIsNotACrime

As this administration makes it harder for voters to cast their ballot, takes away health care, and encourages violence to hurt people, it is also targeting the nonprofits fighting back. The indictment of @SPLCenter is part of a coordinated strategy to silence opposition. #DissentIsNotACrime

By attacking organizations that track hate groups and issue warnings about domestic extremism, the Trump administration isn’t just silencing opposition. They’re making every American less safe. #DissentIsNotACrime
