PBS NewsHour reports that the Trump administration has launched a coordinated messaging campaign across federal agencies that echoes imagery and language long associated with #WhiteNationalism, #Authoritarianism, and far-right movements.

Recent posts from agencies like #DHS, #ICE, and the #DepartmentOfLabor include phrases such as “one homeland, one people, one heritage,” recruitment ads urging agents to “defend the homeland from outsiders,” and visuals rooted in #ManifestDestiny and #ChristianNationalism. One ICE ad used the phrase “we’ll have our home again,” a line tied to a known #ProudBoys anthem. Another referenced “trust the plan,” a slogan tied to the #QAnon conspiracy movement that played a major role in the #January6 insurrection and ongoing #PoliticalViolence.

At the same time, the administration published a new website reframing #January6 to blame Democrats for security failures while justifying mass pardons for more than 1,500 defendants, many linked to #DomesticExtremism. Trump has also described the #CivilRightsMovement as “reverse discrimination,” while prominent allies amplified the racist #GreatReplacement conspiracy theory, which experts have linked to multiple #HateCrime and #MassShooting attacks.

Researchers warn this strategy reflects a broader #Propaganda push designed to normalize extremist ideas, undermine trust in #Journalism, #Science, and #Democracy, and reframe aggressive enforcement and #Militarization as public safety. As public disapproval of ICE grows and footage of abuses circulates, critics say this campaign seeks not just persuasion but #Disinformation and #Confusion, tactics historically used by #Authoritarian regimes to erode shared reality.

This moment matters deeply for #LGBTQ communities, #Immigrants, #PeopleOfColor, and other marginalized groups, who are often the first targets when extremist rhetoric moves from the fringe into official state power.

Why Is the Department of Labor Posting White Nationalist Propaganda?

This weekend, the agency posted a phrase similar to one that appeared on Hitler propaganda posters.

Why Is the Department of Labor Posting White Nationalist Propaganda? – The USA Potato

"The very AI tools that are adding to today’s employment problems are being used by the Trump administration to chip away at reality, one white-supremacy meme and one fascistic propaganda video at a time."

"Only a few of the images explicitly say. But their purpose is explained in the accompanying captions: They’re promoting the department’s work on Project Firewall, meant to restore 'pathways to the American Dream by ensuring American Jobs go to American Workers.'"

"It’s that these pictures, released by the Department of Labor social-media accounts and bearing the department’s seal, are uncomfortably reminiscent of posters from the 1930s. To be more specific: the ‘Heroic Realism’ of Nazi propaganda posters and the similarly stylized patriotic posters later produced in the United States.

Why is this style being used now, and what are these images for?"

"A social-media ad campaign from the Department of Labor is going viral for featuring a dozen or more images of young, blond, white men with strong jawlines and cleft chins, in blue-collared workmen’s shirts and jeans—such great jeans. ...

It’s not the use of AI that’s giving everyone pause, of course."
