GPAHE Brings You the Latest News in Far-Right Hate and Extremism

Project 2025 Is Here: July 30th

This week, we look at how a pregnant Tennessee woman was denied medical care for being unmarried in an early skirmish of Project 2025’s war on women. We’ll also examine the Supreme Court’s use of the shadow docket to push through Trump’s Project 2025 policies, and how Christian nationalist Ryan Walters, superintendent of schools in Oklahoma and anti-porn crusader, was reportedly caught with naked women on his office television during a Board of Education meeting.

As authoritarian governance takes hold, GPAHE continues to expose the actors behind this movement, document the policy shifts underway, and provide critical tools for resisting the far-right’s dangerous agenda.

Our blog series provides essential updates on how Project 2025’s authoritarian blueprint is being enacted. Now you can view all of our Project 2025 blog posts in one convenient place on our website. We encourage you to explore this series to stay informed and engaged.

New from GPAHE: The Deportation Business: How Mass Deportation Became a $45 Billion Industry

Under Project 2025, Trump’s mass deportation machine has become a $45 billion industry built on abuse and exploitation. Private contractors profit from overcrowded and neglectful facilities, while federal contracts reward companies for expanding a system that disproportionately targets migrants without criminal records. Rooted in “Great Replacement” ideology, the deportation infrastructure monetizes every stage—from arrest to surveillance—transforming government policy into a lucrative business model for Trump allies.

New Country Extremist Report from GPAHE: Far-Right Hate and Extremist Groups in Spain

A new report from GPAHE reveals an extensive and internationally connected far-right extremist landscape in Spain. Released amid the backdrop of July’s outbreak of  four-day’s of anti-immigrant violence in Torre Pacheco, Murcia—led by the group “Deport Them Now”—the report identifies eighteen active far-right organizations, including neo-Nazis, white nationalists, conspiracy-driven movements, and powerful anti-LGBTQ+ groups. It highlights how Spain’s history of antisemitism influences today’s landscape and how actors like Political Network for Values, Vox, CitizenGO, La Falange, and Democracia Nacional are spreading ultranationalist, anti-immigrant, and anti-LGBTQ+ agendas while forging transnational ties with extremist networks in the U.S., Latin America, and Hungary. This is the latest in GPAHE’s ongoing series documenting the growth and transnational nature of far-right extremist movements.

New from GPAHE: The Shadow Cabinet: Project 2025’s Continued Conquest of American Power

Trump dismissed Project 2025 as “ridiculous” on the campaign trail. But now, its authors are running his second administration, making the far-right blueprint a reality. The same figures who drafted Project 2025’s plans to gut federal agencies, politicize institutions, and centralize executive power are now in charge of carrying it out—from the CIA and Education Department to trade, energy, and beyond. ______________________________________________________________________

Newsweek – Barack Obama Sees Death Threats Surge After Trump’s Treason Claims

“GPAHE’s research continues to show a spike in online bigoted and violent rhetoric whenever the president targets people with his online posts. The combination of Director Gabbard’s and President Trump’s conspiracy-laden and racist posts, not only inflamed extremists, but further normalized language and ideas that are completely unacceptable in a thriving democracy. We, as a nation, cannot contribute to this normalization by staying silent,” GPAHE co-founder Wendy Via told Newsweek.

GPAHE’s take: Death threats and violent rhetoric against former President Barack Obama surged after Donald Trump accused him of treason and posted a racist AI-generated video depicting Obama’s arrest. The escalation followed Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s release of a report alleging Obama fabricated intelligence about Russian interference in the 2016 election. GPAHE documented an alarmingly sharp rise in extremist calls for Obama’s imprisonment or execution across platforms like Truth Social, Gab, and Telegram—underscoring how conspiracy theories spread by high-ranking officials can incite real-world threats.
