The last five years have been incredibly impactful. My gratitude to my colleagues at the @splcenter.org for their passion, wisdom and achievements. Can’t wait to see what you do next! www.splcenter.org/resources/ho...

This week, I happily joined the @NCJWinc’s Washington Institute 2025: Together We Rise. Amazing to connect and engage with so many amazing leaders from across the country, esp @sheilakatz.bsky.social, @fatimagossgraves.bsky.social and @maya4rights.bsky.social. #TogetherWeRise #TogetherWeFight

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

I appreciated our recent dialogue at the Amerika Haus in Munich- we in the U.S. have much to learn from other societies as we fight rising fascism here at home. Thanks @americanstudier.bsky.social for sharing

🚨 Erasing history won’t change the truth. SPLC President and CEO @margarethuang.bsky.social explains why Trump’s executive order is an attack on real history and education. We will not be silent. Watch now: abcnews.go.com/US/vi...

Paul Weiss backing away from representing LULAC is an outrage. In the face of authoritarianism, any one of us will be in a situation where we have to decide whether to be guided by courage or fear. There is only one answer that stands the test of time. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

“Sixty years later, we are in a new political environment that threatens to erode and erase the victories that the foot soldiers of the Civil Rights Movement marched for.” – @margarethuang.bsky.social, president and CEO of @splcenter.org

In a special guest post for today, @splcenter.org’s president and CEO @margarethuang.bsky.social reflects on the enduring lessons of MLK as Americans face new—and lasting—challenges to justice, security, and equality…

A reminder that when the cynical and now MAGA-friendly Mark Zuckerberg makes claims about alleged Biden administration pressure on FB over Covid misinformation, and screams 'Censorship!', he's also the guy who admitted his *uncensored* company played a big role in inciting a *literal genocide*:

An extraordinary human rights champion, President Carter left a remarkable legacy on fighting poverty, homelessness, and war. He will be deeply missed and forever appreciated.

International law recognizes a right to housing as a fundamental obligation. Police harassment of the unhoused is not just cruel but in this case life-threatening. Is this the world you want to live in?

Today, on International Human Rights Day, we must remember that human rights matter most in the places close to home: our families, our communities, ourselves. If we deny human rights to any group of people, we deny them to all.

Great piece from @splcenter.org’s president and CEO @margarethuang.bsky.social on why it’s so vital that a president’s nominees are held to the highest of standards in terms of their character and values… How do you think our next president is doing so far?

Fear of books is fear of ideas. It's fear of democracy itself. Let's ban that!

Thinking this morning about the leaders of the civil rights movement who, despite threats, attacks, and even murder, persevered and won civil rights legislation that changed the country and in fact the world. We’re standing on their shoulders and we’re ready for what’s next.

@splcenter1971.bsky.social put out a new report today that caught some eyes on Twitter. Feels right to make my first post here on BlueSky a statement of commitment to keep calling out haters and extremists for what they are. Check out the piece: www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/20...
