@mathowie @mekkaokereke Fidelity did give an email address to complain. I don't think that they're likely to change this while the lawsuit is pending. The timing of Fidelity's change (Thursday-Friday) is almost certainly based on the lawsuit (last Tuesday). Here are some resources if you decide to write to Fidelity:

The FBI case against the Southern Poverty Law Center basically says that if you donate money to the SPLC, then they use some of it to pay informants to infiltrate white nationalist organizations to uncover stuff like this. -

This is achieved because Fidelity Charitable itself is officially a charity even though it is just a conduit.

They approach but go short of charging the #SPLC of a terrorist organization, likely because the #DoJ couldn't muster up even a flimsy level of evidence for that charge.
In Trump's America, fighting back against the KKK is now basically an act of "terrorism."
The Justice Department brought charges against a major civil rights organization. This will be Trump's template for prosecuting the entire American left.
