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

Project 2025 Is Here: September 18th

This week, GPAHE examines how Project 2025’s immigration policies are driving international artists and musicians away from the United States. We’ll also look at how the administration is weaponizing immigration law against foreign journalists, and the bitter irony facing Trump voters in rural America who are discovering they desperately need the immigrant workers they voted to deport.

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.

GPAHE Letter: How Charlie Kirk’s assassination is fueling calls for violence and a “holy war

The brutal assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk is another tragic entry into a growing list of political violence that we and our country are experiencing. In recent months, we’ve seen a state representative in Minnesota murdered, the governor of Pennsylvania’s official home burned, a vicious attack on former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, and two attempts on President Trump’s life, among too many other incidents.

This violence is to be unequivocally condemned. There is no place for it – ever, and murder should never be the consequence of a person speaking their mind. And as celebrations are not the appropriate response to violence, there is also no place for the calls for retribution and more violence that have followed in the wake of Kirk’s death.

New from GPAHE: Charlie Kirk’s Murder Sparks Calls for Civil War And Violent Retribution Against Political Opponents

Far-right influencers and some high-profile political figures have seized on Kirk’s death to justify retaliation, urging escalating attacks against the left, progressive organizations, and marginalized communities.These calls for violence are not abstract—they directly empower extremist groups like the Proud Boys and neo-Nazi “Active Clubs,” who use such rhetoric to recruit, radicalize, and normalize political violence.

New from GPAHE: The Making of a Martyr: How Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Became a Call to Arms for the Christian Nationalist Movement

Christian nationalist networks, closely tied to Project 2025, have similarly framed Kirk’s death as a rallying cry for a “holy war,” linking extremist ideology to concrete, real-world threats.

New from GPAHE: Europe’s White Nationalist Identitarian Movement Ramping Up Fundraising Efforts

In Germany, the Identitarian Movement (IBD) and allied groups monetize hate through online stores, merchandise, and media networks using platforms like WordPress, Shopify, and Stripe. Their influence is spreading transnationally, shaping politics in Europe and the U.S., including policies under the Trump administration that mirror their racist and anti-immigrant agenda. The movement has connections to real-world violence, including the Christchurch mosque shooter, making Identitarian propaganda a tangible threat, far beyond the internet.

New from GPAHE: Minneapolis Shooting Sparks Wave of Anti-Trans Hate Online

The August 27 shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis triggered a surge of anti-trans hate online. Far-right figures, including Nick Fuentes, Matt Walsh, and others, weaponized the shooter’s gender identity, spreading false narratives of “trans terrorism” and linking transgender people to violence and mental illness. On platforms like 4chan, Gab, Rumble, and Telegram, transphobic posts and calls for targeting the community spiked sharply. GPAHE’s monitoring shows these online attacks amplify real-world risk, even as research confirms transgender individuals remain disproportionately victims of hate-fueled violence.
