Southern Poverty Law Center releases report as US government pursues federal fraud charges against group

A new report from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) finds hard-right groups have increasingly expanded their influence across the US government, which is pursuing a federal fraud case into the civil rights organization.

Tuesday’s report – which identified 1,263 hate and anti-government groups in operation throughout 2025 – comes less than two months after it was indicted by the government it says the hard right has infiltrated.

According to the SPLC’s annual Year in Hate and Extremism report, Donald Trump’s administration has “radically transformed government policy in favor of far-right interests and individuals” since the start of his second presidency in early 2025.

      Don’t forget that if you do vote you’re pro-genocide, which means I don’t have to think listen to you. Also if voting changed anything they’d make it illegal. What, they’re trying to? See, doesn’t do anything. Wasted effort. General strike or bust. Discord counts as organizing right?

        The left cannot reflect upon the fact that today, they are influenced by massive propaganda campaigns just like conservatives, because they believe that “falling for” propaganda is the pinnacle of stupidity. They are missing the truth- that we are all stupid in groups and that right-wing propagandists are malicious, wealthy villains who have for decades preyed upon poor conservatives, who are technically victims… victims who now just follow orders.

    If Democrats get control again, one of the many tasks they need to take on is to root as many of these people out of government as possible.
