They replied to my email and I feel pretty good about their response. You folks will have to make your own decision as whether to fund their work or not but I will begin to contribute again.
"Thank you for reaching out to The Salvation Army with your concern and question. It’s very important that our supporters know that we are committed to loving and serving all of God’s children.
Some individuals and groups have recently attempted to mislabel our organization to serve their own agenda(s). They have made claims that we believe our donors should apologize for their skin color, that The Salvation Army believes America is an inherently racist society, and that our organization has abandoned its beliefs for one ideology or another. These are absolutely untrue and they distort the very goal of our work. We encourage you to learn more about our beliefs, and to read our full response to these claims."

sounds about right.
Based on the stuff they left up on their site, it's clear there is much more behind the scenes. I am still out. Looks like pure garbage has infested the highest levels there.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I won't give them another dime until they publish where the money goes that is given them.
the annual salary of the head of the red cross is $694000 and a luxury car to drive...me NO donate
Yeah, I'll give my money to the NRA where it goes to good use.
They're not a dumb organization, like many other outfits they're just smart enough to play both sides for those nickles and dimes and Big dollars while at the same time straddling the fence. They know exactly what you want to hear by peoples direct response to such. Remember the Boy Scouts fallout ? and a few others.

Interesting information . . . but, the Red Cross is not the Salvation Army.
I am not about to stop supporting Salvation Army because of dubious info being spread on social media, presumably by hackers. And there is no comparison between Salvation Army and the Red Cross. SA salaries are quite modest.
