GPAHE Brings You the Latest News in Far-Right Hate and Extremism
Project 2025 Is Here: April 30th
This week, GPAHE looks at the Trump administration’s first 100 days, revealing a systematic implementation of Project 2025’s authoritarian vision. From immigration crackdowns to press restrictions, from religious governance to bureaucratic deconstruction, the administration has transformed the federal landscape according to Project 2025’s framework and moved us in the direction of realizing its Christian nationalist and authoritarian vision, fundamentally reimagining American governance and freedoms. GPAHE also documents resistance efforts, everything from court challenges to shifting public opinion, that provide a glimmer of hope in the battle against rising authoritarianism.
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: 100 Days Toward Authoritarianism
Just 100 days into Trump’s second term, Project 2025 is no longer a threat on paper—it’s federal policy. Backed by Christian nationalists and dark money, it’s already empowering extremism. GPAHE highlights the Trump’s administration abandonment of key efforts to counter white supremacist and far-right terrorism, its gutting of prevention programs and diversion of law enforcement resources away from addressing the growing threat of extremist violence. This includes removing GPAHE’s first-of-its-kind global extremist symbol database, used by tech companies, law enforcement and policymakers around the world. These rollbacks not only cripple the government’s ability to respond to domestic terrorism but also send a chilling signal of tolerance—or even complicity—for extremist ideologies.

NPR: Unchecked extremism festers in military, experts say
“That’s the problem—we can’t have extremists with the kind of training you can get in the military. They can be more effective at acting on violent impulses or putting together plots. That’s the threat we have to neutralize. It’s not a fake problem. Many people have been killed in domestic terrorist incidents because the perpetrator had military training and was radicalized. This is clearly an issue of national security and public safety.” Heidi Beirich, co-founder of GPAHE said.
GPAHE’S take: Concerns are mounting that extremism and white supremacism in the U.S. military are going unchecked following the Trump administration’s decision to end programs designed to monitor and counter the threat. In an interview on “Here and Now,” Heidi discusses the implications of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s dismissal of the issue as a “fake” problem.

Breaking News – Ireland: Government warned not to ignore McGregor’s ‘far-right American messaging’
“He’s a mouthpiece. He is able to influence voters. He’s also able to influence the discourse. He can’t pull the conversation to the right alone but he has a huge following on X and he tries to use that.Presenting himself as the de facto far-right leader, he is influencing the conversation, and in a way that does not solve a problem. It just creates fear, “said Wendy Via, co-founder of GPAHE. “If I could give advice to every country which is experiencing a shift to the far-right, it [would be] don’t ignore what is on the surface or what a person with any kind of common sense would say is simply ridiculous. Or that one person, like McGregor, [then] nobody is going to take them seriously.”
GPAHE’S take: Ireland’s famous MMA fighter, Conor McGregor, has fully embraced American-style far-right rhetoric, spreading anti-immigrant disinformation and Christian nationalist themes. Despite lacking political power, McGregor’s influence, made greater by Trump’s support of him, shaping public discourse in Ireland and fueling fear-driven narratives—especially among young men. Ignoring such figures as unserious could open the door to extremism.

The Atlantic: Who Gets Panzer Tattooed on Their Arm?
GPAHE’S take: Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the National Counterterrorism Center, Joseph Kent, has a “panzer” tattoo—a word historically linked to Nazi military power.
While Kent has a history of ties to far-right figures, neither he nor the administration has explained the ink. Instead, officials mocked questions about its meaning. The article highlights a troubling double standard: immigrants are deported over misunderstood tattoos, while Trump allies with extremist-linked body art face no consequences.
