The director of Project 2025, a controversial policy plan, stepped down after a USA TODAY investigation revealed racist incidents among some contributors. The project, which was seen as a blueprint for the next Republican presidency, faced criticism for policies harming minority groups. The Anti-Defamation League exposed an antisemitic conference in Kentucky and helped Reddit combat antisemitism. A neo-Nazi Satanist, previously a paid FBI informant, continues to promote racial hatred and child abuse according to Wired magazine.
Project 2025’s director left less than 24 hours after the racism allegations surfaced, amid criticism from former President Donald Trump. The Heritage Foundation-led effort ended policy work following Trump’s continued criticism. The ADL reported on a conference discussing ‘the Jewish Problem’ in Kentucky, highlighting the rise of antisemitism in the US. Reddit implemented changes to tackle antisemitic hate following collaboration with the ADL.
Wired magazine revealed Joshua Caleb Sutter’s continued influence as a white supremacist Satanist, known for promoting extreme right propaganda that inspires violence. Sutter was previously a paid FBI informant, but it is unclear if he still works for them. This week marked five years since the El Paso Walmart shooting by Patrick Crusius, a white supremacist who claimed there was a Hispanic “invasion” in the US. Crusius was sentenced to serve 90 consecutive life sentences.
