This week the FBI cut ties with the Southern Poverty Law Center and Anti-Defamation League, two organizations that have spent years attacking/defaming men's rights and MRAs. There are multiple reasons behind the move, but the big takeaway for this sub is that this is a good news story for us. It may weaken the influence of these orgs that have pumped out a lot of negative press on men's issues.

"The Southern Poverty Law Center long ago abandoned civil rights work and turned into a partisan smear machine,” FBI Director Kash Patel wrote on X. “Their so-called ‘hate map’ has been used to defame mainstream Americans and even inspired violence. That disgraceful record makes them unfit for any FBI partnership.”"

"Elon Musk called the group — a liberal-leaning organization that has for years tracked hate groups and provided law enforcement with information about them — “an evil organization that spreads hate propaganda relentlessly”

"FBI Director Kash Patel has ended a training and intelligence-sharing partnership with the Anti-Defamation League, accusing the organization of spying on conservative groups."
