GPAHE Brings You the Latest News in Far-Right Hate and Extremism
Project 2025 Is Here: March 18th
This week, we look at how Senator Eric Schmitt and thee Heritage Foundation laid out a plan to strip citizenship from naturalized Americans where one speaker dismissed a million people a year as “paper citizens.” Eight Republican governors have now signed formal partnerships with Turning Point USA to plant the organization’s chapters inside public high schools. And Trump posted a graphic on Truth Social, cataloguing every journalist fired, every outlet defunded, and every FCC threat his administration has made since taking office.
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, including our Project 2025 page in Spanish to ensure broader access for Spanish-speaking audiences following these developments. We encourage you to explore this series to stay informed, engaged, and up to date on how this agenda continues to unfold.

New Report from GPAHE: TikTok Serving as a Refuge for a Fandom Encouraging the Next School Shooters
TikTok is increasingly hosting a disturbing subculture, the so-called True Crime Community (TCC), where users create memes and AI-generated videos that glorify mass killers, turning perpetrators into figures of fascination or admiration. While the broader true crime fandom is largely benign, deeper layers of the TCC blur the line between interest and idolization and have been tied to a growing number of real-world plots and attacks between 2024 and 2026, many involving teenagers. TikTok’s popularity among youth has made it an accessible hub for the subculture’s spread; and although the platform bans graphic content and the glorification of violence, much of this material persists.

New from GPAHE: The 764 Network: A Global Threat for Child Abuse and Radicalization
The “764 Network” is a transnational extremist online ecosystem in which children are systematically targeted across social media, gaming platforms, and messaging apps. Victims are groomed, coerced into producing abusive content or self-harm, and radicalized. Despite arrests and increased investigations around their crimes and connections, the network has proven resilient, adapting across platforms and exposing persistent failures or omissions by tech companies to prevent exploitation and protect young users.

New from GPAHE: 14 Key Takeaways from the GPAHE Report: Project 2025 Goes Global
Fourteen key takeaways from GPAHE’s Project 2025 Goes Global report examine how Donald Trump’s return to power has accelerated the implementation and internationalization of Project 2025 as a far-reaching authoritarian policy agenda. The findings detail efforts to expand presidential authority, replace career civil servants with political loyalists, and embed a Christian nationalist governing framework targeting LGBTQ+ rights, gender equality, and reproductive freedom. Also included is how U.S. foreign policy is being used to export these priorities through mechanisms such as the Geneva Consensus Declaration, the dismantling of USAID, and coordinated advocacy networks shaping laws and institutions across Europe, Africa, and Latin America. Opposition from civil society and human rights groups continues to grow.

Homeland Security Today – TikTok Is Emerging as Hub for Online Subculture That Glorifies Mass Casualty Attacks, Article Warns
Based on GPAHE research, this article shows how TikTok is increasingly hosting content tied to the more extreme fringe of the so-called “True Crime Community” (TCC), where interest in mass violence shifts into stylization and, at times, the glorification of perpetrators. The findings describe how short-form videos, ranging from meme edits to AI-generated clips, repackage attackers through narratives that strip away the realities of their crimes. Researchers link these online ecosystems to plots or attacks, underscoring how decentralized, cross-platform networks continue to amplify and normalize mass violence.
