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

Project 2025 Is Here: November 19th

This week we look at Florida’s embrace of the Project 2025 leader Heritage Foundation’s Christian nationalist curriculum in public schools, how FCC Chair and Project 2025 coauthor Brendan Carr is weaponizing broadcast licenses to silence critics and redefine freedom of the press, and how the Pentagon is stripping retirement benefits from transgender veterans whose service and sacrifices don’t count under the Trump administration.

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: TPUSA’s Holy Hustle: How Conservatism Went Apocalyptic

Turning Point USA has transformed from a conservative campus club into one of the most powerful Christian nationalist engines in the country — a movement where apocalyptic prophecy, political warfare, and multimillion-dollar schemes now sit at the center of conservative youth culture. This transformation has involved bringing on board disgraced pastors, prosperity preachers, and dominionist prophets who teach that capturing America’s institutions will hasten Christ’s return.

New from GPAHE: Project 2025 Heritage’s European Offensive: Exporting America’s Christian Nationalist Project

At Madrid’s “Catholics and Public Life” congress, Heritage President Kevin Roberts pushed the Christian nationalist vision behind Project 2025 while sidestepping the backlash that erupted after his defense of Tucker Carlson’s soft-ball interview with antisemite and white supremacist Nick Fuentes. The event gathered leading anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-woman figures from Europe and the Americas, highlighting a growing transnational network linking Heritage, Vox, ADF International, CitizenGO, and CEU University. As Roberts invoked the divisive conservative Catholic group Opus Dei and framed young men as the vanguard of a new Christendom, the gathering exemplified how anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-woman groups and Christian nationalists are forging close relationships across borders.

New from GPAHE: Mosque shootings and far-right avatar skins: Teens playing Roblox exposed to extremist content

A just released ITV News investigation from the UK, in collaboration with GPAHE, reveals that Roblox, the world’s most widely used gaming platform for children, contunues to host extremist material that evade its moderation policies and parental controls. The investigation documented mosque-shooting simulations, Patriot Front white supremacist slogans, and avatar skins linked to far-right extremist groups. The findings mirror a wider trend on the platform, where white supremacist groups — like the “The Blueshirts,” a teen-led formation modeled on Patriot Front — use Roblox’s user-generated experiences and in-game currency to stage digital protests, harass players, and circulate propaganda, sometimes targeting children as young as five. GPAHE warns that gaps in Roblox’s oversight are creating openings for extremist recruitment and radicalizing content in spaces that are supposed to be safe.

GPAHE Op-Ed: DHS’ racist social media posts beloved by neo-Nazis and other extremists

This Bay Area Reporter guest essay from GPAHE warns that the Department of Homeland Security is pushing out social media posts that echo fascist and white supremacist aesthetics — from “fashwave” images to racist gaming memes and propaganda favored by white supremacist networks. The posts have been met with enthusiasm from neo-Nazis and white supremacists, raising concerns that a federal agency is normalizing hate and far-right extremism.
