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

Project 2025 Is Here: June 11th

This week, we look at the Trump regime’s war on freedom of the press as it carries out Project 2025’s authoritarian policies. From gutting public media to Trump’s financial warfare against Paramount, to far-right extremist Gavin Wax using his position with the FCC to exact retribution, freedom of expression, the independent press, and civic discourse are under imminent threat, as the very future of democracy is in jeopardy.

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: White Supremacists Advocate Violence at Anti-Trump ‘No Kings’ Protests

White supremacist and far-right groups, including the Proud Boys and White Lives Matter, are mobilizing around the June 14 “No Kings” anti-Trump protests, sharing protest locations, targeting organizers, and calling for violence. The protests, organized to oppose authoritarianism, coincide with Trump’s birthday and a military parade in D.C. Far-right actors are flooding Telegram and social media with disinformation, conspiracy theories, and calls to confront the “No Kings” protesters—amplified by Trump’s warning that demonstrators will be “met with very big force.”

New from GPAHE: White Supremacists, Neo-Nazis, and Trump Allies Call For Violence Against Immigrants and Protesters In Los Angeles

As protests in Los Angeles challenge Trump’s mass deportation raids, white supremacists, Proud Boys, and Trump allies respond with violent threats—calling for military crackdowns, invoking the Insurrection Act, and openly encouraging attacks on immigrants, protesters, and journalists. This dangerous rhetoric underscores the rising tensions and potential for violence as the Trump regime heightens tensions with its mass deportation actions and the activation of federal military forces to police protests, over the objection of the California governor. __________________________________________________________________

The Guardian – Republican senator employs aide fired by DeSantis over neo-Nazi imagery

“Hochman’s position shows once again that there are no guardrails against extremists in the GOP nowadays.” Heidi Beirich, co-founder of GPAHE, told The Guardian. “Racism, antisemitism and other abhorrent beliefs don’t seem to stop extremists from appointments with far-right politicians, including in the highest office of the presidency,” Beirich added.

GPAHE’S take: Nate Hochman, a former aide fired from Ron DeSantis’s campaign over neo-Nazi imagery, now works for Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO). Hochman has promoted far-right conspiracy theories and praised white nationalists, highlighting how extremist figures continue to find roles within GOP politics. The alignment between Hochman’s views and Schmitt’s long-standing hard-right positions underscores experts’ concerns about the normalization of racism and antisemitism within the Republican Party.
