Once confined to neo-Nazi circles, “remigration” has moved into mainstream political discourse. This timeline shows how a neo-Nazi concept moved through Identitarian networks, and far-right parties, before appearing in U.S. federal policy, with serious human rights consequences. Read more:

Tomorrow, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will consider Jeremy Carl for a U.S. post at the UN—despite promoting the “Great Replacement” and attacking civil rights law. If confirmed, he would shape U.S. policy on human rights and refugees, bringing extremist ideology into U.S. diplomacy.

Inside the European Parliament, a summit organized by PNfV gave a platform to figures defending anti-LGBTQ+ laws, attacking transgender people, opposing conversion-therapy bans, and denouncing EU moderation rules as censorship, recasting repression as “free speech.” Read more:

📲 Check out our overview of trends and incidents of hard-right activity in January 2026: https://bit.ly/4kvjo5M One key takeaway: Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes joined Ivan Raiklin, who describes himself as Trump’s “secretary of retribution,” in calling on Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Elon Musk posted about race on 26 of 31 days in January, promoting white genocide & “great replacement” to 200M+ followers. “If you stripped his name off… I’d think this was a white supremacist,” said @heidibeirich.bsky.social. Experts warn he’s normalizing ideologies tied to deadly racist attacks.

Congress is moving on the SAVE Act bills, all of which would restrict the freedom to vote for millions of Americans. These Jim Crow 2.0 bills target vulnerable people in our communities, who are less likely to have ready access to the documents the bills require.

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.

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.

A coalition of Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, & interfaith groups has sued to shut down Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission, arguing it violates federal law & excludes minority faiths. The case says the administration is using “religious freedom” to elevate a narrow vision of the U.S. as a Christian nation.
