Antifascists Give Project 2025’s Authors the Doxing Treatment

If you want to control the world, we should at least know who you are. At least that’s what antifa thinks.

In response to a plan orchestrated by a far-right think tank to marginalize the rights and freedoms of Americans should Donald Trump return to the White House, an antifascist group has doxed the leaders of the group posting their names and addresses online, particularly the authors of the plan.

Over 60 members of the Heritage Foundation were listed in a dox created on the website titled Against Beltway Fascism, 34 of them listed as the authors of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project, more commonly known as Project 2025. The Project, which the Heritage Foundation believes will “lay the groundwork for a White House more friendly to the right,” has stoked outrage and controversy due to its plan that looks to overwrite the evolution of American culture and society over the past sixty years with ideals that range from unconstitutional to outright fascistic. The policy recommendations listed in the Project’s 922-page “Mandate for Leadership” include calls for the abolishment of several federal agencies, particularly the Department of Education while seeking to  impose a publicly-funded religious education on America, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which is vital in tracking hurricanes and the impacts of climate change, which the Heritage Foundation opposes. It also plans to reverse gains in civil rights for persons of color, immigration, the LGBTQ+ community, gender equality, labor and religious freedom, establishing what many have seen as a Christian Nationalist order, the Mandate for Leadership stating, “(F)reedom is defined by God, not man.”

“Fascist think tanks rely on the veneer of respectability to spread oppression,” the creators of the dox said in an email. “They provide an intellectual vision to Nazi street thugs and a political blueprint for right-wing politicians. Heritage, CATO (Institute), and the hundreds of lobbyists inside the beltway are trash people who’ve created a hellscape. In much of the United States, their vision is already realized with queers back in closets, the ending of Roe, and people of color living in fear.”

Some that have been involved with contributing to Project 2025 have either associated with White Supremacists or promoted those who upheld White Supremacist dogma. Last year at a Moms for Liberty conference in Philadelphia, Heritage Foundation President Kevin D. Roberts, who recently said on the podcast of currently incarcerated onetime advisor to Donald Trump Steve Bannon that the right is “in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be,” promoted the writings of the late National Review editor Russell Kirk who in the sixties fought against voting rights for Black people in the U.S. and South Africa, was a onetime contributor to the neo-Confederate Chronicles Magazine and often complained, in his words, that “Not seldom has it seemed as if some eminent Neoconservatives mistook Tel Aviv for the capital of the United States.”

While not listed in the dox, Thomas Homan, former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the Trump administration, contributed to the immigration portion of Project 2025 and spoke during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee this week. Two years ago, he was supposed to speak at the America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC), organized by Nick Fuentes, the part Mexican leader of the White Supremacist  “groyper” movement who along with rapper Kanye West dined with Homan’s onetime boss Donald Trump at his Mar-A-Lago resort. He only left the event before it started despite being shown examples of the racist and antisemitic leanings of the conference after he saw that Fuentes praised Russian President Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine. Just as he did regarding AFPAC, Homan pleaded ignorance Monday when asked about his contribution to Project 2025, saying that he had not read all of the policy proposal.

Conservatives in the wake of how toxic Project 2025 has been politically have been distancing themselves from the effort including those such as onetime Trump advisor Stephen Miller, whose America First Legal Foundation asked the Heritage Foundation to remove them from the Project 2025 advisory board webpage. Ironically, despite 140 persons involved with the Project working in his administration, Donald Trump claimed not to know who was involved with Project 2025.
