Martin Sellner has launched the “Institute for Remigration,” an effort to coordinate a Europe-wide campaign advocating mass deportations. Grounded in the “Great Replacement” theory, the initiative marks a push to translate long-standing white nationalist ideology into structured policy advocacy.
“Noem’s tenure at the DHS will go down as one of the most lawless, corrupt, and reckless in modern history. Time and again.. she put her vanity ahead of the safety of the American people. I doubt many of the 248,000 employees at DHS..will be shedding a tear tonight.” - @benniethompson.bsky.social
more from @globalextremism.bsky.social on how far-right extremists are uniting in Europe and how Trump and the US are fanning the flames
Decentralized militias are openly recruiting on Instagram, posting combat training footage while framing themselves as defense groups. Behind that branding lies Christian nationalist rhetoric and far-right ties. These cells operate in plain sight, normalizing paramilitary organizing on social media.
Despite prior convictions for assault and a past immigration violation, Tommy Robinson has been granted entry into the U.S. The former English Defence League leader is now meeting with figures in Trump’s orbit while promoting rhetoric once tied to deadly attacks, now from inside the United States.
Really good overview of how far-right extremists are uniting in Europe. Many have connections to the US as well. @paulcarsten.bsky.social, Layli Foroudi, Juliette Jabkhiro @reuters.com

Christian nationalist movements are working to criminalize dissent, impose religious rule, & rewrite federal policy.
Faith as a Weapon exposes how these ideologies are no longer fringe but embedded in Trump’s inner circle, backed by billionaires, & aligned under a shared goal: a theocratic America.
Ten years after marriage equality became law, 47 anti-LGBTQ+ Christian groups are coordinating a campaign to roll it back. Branded as a “children’s rights” effort, the initiative seeks to strip marriage protections nationwide.

Sarah Rogers is steering State Department grants to MAGA-aligned groups in Europe, branding it a “free speech” fight over the EU’s Digital Services Act. Her outreach includes Turning Point USA, ADF International, and Germany’s AfD, raising alarms U.S. funds may bolster Europe’s far right.
A neo-Nazi plot to poison children in NYC has exposed a growing archive of extremist “how-to” manuals circulating online. Produced by networks like MKY, 764, and Terrorgram, the guides provide detailed instruction on weapons and targeted violence, often aimed at recruiting and radicalizing youth.
An Italian court has convicted 12 members of CasaPound under the 1952 Scelba law for attempting to reconstitute the banned Fascist Party, the first judicial recognition of the group as fascist, raising the prospect of dissolution and intensifying pressure on its role in Italy’s far-right landscape.
Excellent analysis from @bironagyandras.bsky.social. Like the US, Hungary has to decide if it will keep a leader who promotes fear, instead of hope and solutions. Trump, a big fan of Orban, wants to ensure that fear and authoritarianism grow in Europe. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Fights over transgender rights are reaching Brussels, as anti-LGBTQ+ groups gain ground in EU institutions. “Cruelly stripping human rights protections from trans people is the first phase to erase the LGBTQ+ community and take back hard-won rights from women worldwide,” @wendyvia.bsky.social said.
White supremacists from around the world met in February to plan whites-only enclaves, expand recruitment, and advance mass “remigration.” Hosted by Arkansas-based Return to the Land, the summit convened neo-Nazi leaders invoking the “Great Replacement” and coordinating across borders.

MAGA influencers are turning YouTube into propaganda hubs for anti-immigrant narratives that now shape Trump administration policy. As figures like Nick Shirley, Jack Posobiec, and Dan Bongino spread false claims, online hate is translating into state violence, and a brutal “remigration” agenda.
Christian Identity has faded from mainstream focus, but its racist, antisemitic theology hasn’t disappeared. Once tied to groups like Aryan Nations, its ideas now circulate through Telegram channels, and social platforms—laying the ideological groundwork for the next wave of extremist violence.
Inside the EU Parliament, the “Seventh Transatlantic Summit” featured speakers who mocked trans people & opposed therapy bans. “Cruelly stripping human rights protections from trans people is the first phase of their global imperative to erase the LGBTQ+ community,” warned @wendyvia.bsky.social.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Had no idea this was happening.
“Trump’s retrenchment from European multilateralism must be viewed from the context of his America First ideology,” said Kane.
This ideology is understood as isolationist but really, what Trump and his allies want to do is remove themselves from the responsibility that comes with global governance

The National Park Service reportedly pulled brochures from the Medgar Evers Home and told rangers not to call his killer a “racist”, even though he bragged about the murder at Klan rallies. The move comes amid broader Project 2025–aligned efforts to revise how civil rights history are presented.

A racist video shared by Trump depicting Barack and Michelle Obama sparked condemnation, showing how racial dehumanization is being fused with election denialism. GPAHE warns this is an unprecedented escalation—racist imagery entering official White House messaging and fueling real-world harm.
Tom Sewell has played a central role in Australia’s neo-Nazi movement, helping to build organizations that engaged in propaganda, street activism, and violence. Although groups linked to him have announced their dissolution, the networks formed through those efforts remain active beyond Australia.
A summit hosted inside the European Parliament featured anti-LGBTQ+ groups linked to PNfV, Vox, ADF, and Heritage Foundation, who defended Uganda’s anti-gay law, attacked transgender people and women, and framed opposition to conversion-therapy bans as a battle for “free speech."
