Essentially I found how NGO’s and gov work together on social media and OFF LINE too. I highly suggest you read the last doc in this tweet, it explains their methods.
Earlier I introduced you to the word, “Amitt” (Adversarial Misinformation and Influence Tactics and Techniques). I found this thru the State Dept GEC partnered org called Drog.
AMITT, is an information security-based framework for responding to disinfo.
➡️ How they do this is the interesting part. ⬅️
It’s very important to know this. 👇🏻
♦️The Blue Team framework is how THEY RESPOND to disinformation.♦️
I found a GitHub page that led me to everything there is to know about how AMITT works. AMITT was later upgraded to the DISARM framework and used for Covid disinfo in coordination with Chris Krebs (CTI League). More on this later.
And it’s also how I found Sara J Terp which led to a tweet and an article she was in. More on the article later.
Tweet archive
Sara said there would be no more secrets, so I took her up on this. Thank you Sara! Also listed under her tweet was a very interesting article that led me to finding additional history on Amitt. I was also introduced to Sofwerx and her work pals. This is coming up next and very interesting!
“2017-2018: SJ Terp starts working on adapting information security tools, processes, and procedures for disinformation use. She links up with JJ Snow, Pablo Breuer, the usual collection of infosec geeks, and the SOFWERX team to work on characterising and countering hybrid incidents (cybersecurity plus disinformation, noting that information operations have always included this).”
GitHub link - there’s all kinds of links and goodies.
Archive of page:
Next we will review AMITT a tiny bit further using a document that describes how Blue Team responds to each incident.
You really need to read the Blue Team counters. This is an entire doc of responses. Here’s one example of counters for rallies and protests.
🔹Doxing (Name and Shame)
🔹Cut off Banking Access
🔹Infiltrate Groups
🔹Etc
In this below thread, you have the first days of Sofwerx working with Sara Terp, Pablo Breuer, Marc Rogers etc on what will become the Amitt framework. It was an invitation event.
I also added what Sofwerx is, and how it came about.
It’s Special Operations Cyber Command working with non government orgs (NGO).
But it seems to me that they are incubating the NGO’s tho they say they don’t do this.
Part 3 covers the details on the building of the AMITT disinfo framework by Sara Terp and crew. Renee Diresta helped.
Also inside I found a doc that showed Sara Terp as an actual employee of Sofwerx. And she worked on the disinformation rating system for the Global Disinformation Index.
Recall that Sofwerx was created under a Partnership Intermediary Agreement, established in September of 2015, between DEFENSEWERX and the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM).
Does this make her a US gov employee? I don’t know, does anyone here know?
Part 4 covers the DISARM foundation. This was established some time after the Disarm framework (previously called AMITT) was put into use. DISARM is an upgrade.
It’s also been formally taken up by the US government now in the last few weeks. Although it was part of CTI League that Chris Krebs used for Covid.
Next we move on to CTI League.
Part 5 exposes Chris Krebs for working with CTI League which handles disinformation by swarming hashtags, using online and offline influencers, using volunteer ELVES and tons more!
Yes, people on social media are being affected by gov coordinated influence operations. I have a ton more on this for another day.
Next I think we’ll discuss just what elves are. And where this term originated from.
Part 6 is on Elves and influencers (trolls and disinfo researchers) used in the disinfo/misinfo racket. Volunteers that help silence “disinfo” both online and offline. They even coordinate with the news.
This will also cover their use in the AMITT/DISARM disinfo framework. This is used by the US, UN, EU, NATO, and tons of other foreign governments.
The USA just officially partnered with the DISARM foundation tho they worked with them for the CTI League Covid program.
Part 7 Although Reality Team technically should be under the Elves and Influencer section, it’s too significant to bury.
We are talking about government partnering with social media influence operation runners.
Part 8 delves into the connections between these people and the CIA linked Integrity Initiative.
Both Sara Terp, and Pablo Breuer who were at the Atlantic Council Disinfo Portal with all those Integrity Initiative folks and orgs, were Atlantic Council themselves. (Evidence inside the thred.)
These folks worked in unison with the US Defense Dept’s Sofwerx etc in developing the AMITT/DISARM disinfo framework currently adopted by our DHS.
Pay attention people, because you are going to eventually be aquatinted with the end result
Isn’t it also awfully coincidental that a “past” Ministry For Defense woman, involved in the earliest days of disinfo work, hung out with much of the Integrity Initiative at the Disinfo Portal?
Recall the Ministry for defense payed the Institute For Statecraft Integrity Initiative.
At least 3 of this crew have been linked to Disinfo Portal:
🔹Sara Jayne Terp
🔹Pablo Breuer
🔹Christopher Walker
Part 9 - Now that you have some basics, let’s delve into the earliest days of cognitive security.
In 2016, David operated CoPsycon and mingled with the US gov and NATO. Later leaving Twitter disgruntled.
Later this became CogSecTech. And I have linked, “the main crew” to this.
This early history is important for laying the groundwork of even more to come.
Part 10 introduces you to a history few are aware of for New Knowledge.
While relatively new, New Knowledge was given a boost by the United Nations that helped cement their place in the tech world.
Many also didn’t know of their work with the State Dept, NSA, and Obama Whitehouse.
The most bothersome to me personally was the war room, and their post election activities.
This organization has had many name and ownership changes: Popily, Yonder, and now Primer.
Two important people in this org were Jonathan Morgan and Renee Diresta. New Knowledge was from Austin Texas.
Part 11 is an excellent recollection by New Knowledge’s, Renee Diresta, of the after effects of the 2016 election. Tech world was not amused.
Here Renee admitted to building a disinformation machine as a result of the 2016 election.
Q: “So essentially, are you guys building a disinformation machine?”
A: Renee Diresta - “That's a good way to put it, yeah.”
The State Department Global Engagement Center was created as a result of the 2016 election.
“ So we were advocating for a couple of really basic things:
One, create a task force or a center in government that's responsible for monitoring this and ultimately became the Global Engagement Center, which exists.”
It also seems Russia discussions started in the Whitehouse in October 2015.
“Russia was part of the conversation in the White House and in the State Department advising I was doing in October 2015”
Read more inside, there’s multiple posts and you shouldn’t miss any!
Part 12-A Bad Kitteh Exposé
Contrary to what many people think, the coup upon Trump began within days of him announcing his run in June, 2015.
In fact the first propaganda about Trump began within 24 hours of him announcing, and originated from Moveon.
We had Google Lab partnering with Hacks/Hackers, and even seeding the First Draft News Coalition. First Draft News concentrated on disinformation.
The integrity initiative website went live at the same time to fight, “Russian” disinfo. First it worked during Brexit and then for the Trump Campaign. The Integrity Initiative even infiltrated US election campaigns.
First Draft News and Integrity Initiative linked orgs worked together from the get go. And one of its founder orgs, Storyful, even had a Director that founded the 77th psyop brigade.
The director of First Draft News sat on the World Economic Forum's Global Agenda Council on the Future of Information and Entertainment.
Interestingly, Google is partnered with the World Economic Forum, who also later independently inserted itself into the disinfo racket.
Part 12-B Bad Kitty Exposé
In March 2018, the World Economic Forum convened a meeting of the minds with a very large consortium of disinfo groups. Essentially to take stock of where they all sat and how it could be improved upon.
The entire disinfo network is massive and funded heavily by the left. The Knight Foundation, Soros Open Society, Craig Newmark, and many others started early on.
The Google Partnered Knight Foundation and Craig Newmark actually even funded the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP)!
Part 13 Bad Kitty Exposé
This part is relatively short and concentrated on a single WHO document prepared by the CTI League folks.
The biggest news here is that the World Health Organization (WHO) embedded people at the CTI League!
What this means is that the WHO was working with anti conservative (coming up in later parts) and gov linked influence operations to control Covid messaging.
Part 14 Bad Kitty Exposé
Kate Starbird of the, Election Integrity Partnership (EIP), was involved in work for a grant which was for the Hacks/Hackers organization.
Recall Hacks/Hackers was partnered with Google Lab who organized the first major censorship ever.
Hacks/Hackers was also a part of the CTI League Reality Team that worked on social media to control narratives.
Amy X Zhang, of Hacks/Hackers was involved in the above grant along with Kate Starbird.
Amy Zhang was also involved in a second grant called Wisdex that DIRECTLY involved the EIP. Zhang is from the Washington University Center For Informed people (CIP). The same center that was part of the EIP, and is where Katie Starbird also worked.
There is also a World Economic Forum group called the Global Coalition For Digital Safety. Many involved in the CTI League Files were involved in this.
Also involved with this WEF coalition was the Atlantic Council GeoTech Center. The same center that housed Sara Terp and Pablo Breuer of the CTI League files.
Part 15 Bad Kitty Exposé
This part discusses the first ever Misinfocon held not long after Trumps inauguration. The Credibility Coalition was created during this event.
Interestingly, Project Candelabra, was also conceived during this event by Dean Jackson of the CIA NED.
Just recently I realized that Dean Jackson was also involved at the Atlantic Council Disinfo Portal.
There he shared space with NED involved Ukraine and Serbian regime change orgs, the NED itself, many CTI League Files folks, the Alliance For Securing Democracy aka Hamilton68, Integrity Initiative partnered orgs, and many Integrity Initiative linked people.
Dean was even an analyst on the Jan 6 committee.
Part 16 Bad Kitty Exposé
Renee Diresta and Jonathan Morgan, of New Knowledge, started Data For Democracy in 2016 and shortly after Trumps election. In fact, it was the same month Obama’s Trump resistance org, Indivisible, was created.
Data for Democracy was funded by Arabella Hopewell, and worked with Indivisible to help get Obama’s resistance messages out.
They used foreigners from around the world to enact USA social change via pushing the Resistance.
Their Indivisible amplifying project even pushed a site that called for Trumps electors to switch to Hillary because of Russian collusion!
Data for Democracy was partnered with the CTI League Files, Credibility Coalition. And Renee Diresta was in the Government partnered EIP for election disinfo!
Part 17 Bad Kitty Exposé
The Alliance4EU is a major part of the DHS CISA censorship ring under the CTI League DISARM foundation. It is also involved in a major anti populist right movement. But wait, it will get much worse in later parts.
Theirs and Scientists4EU’s Netwar System and Social Media Intelligence Unit (SMIU) operated on social media and created dangerous, long term chaos, for targets on the right in both the EU and USA. I’ve found funding for SMIU from the EU.
Alliance4EU also operated a European Hub for Civic Engagement. This was used to connect civic activists orgs to funders. This gets billionaire funding from Soros etc.
The hub was initiated by Alliance4EU, Das Progressive Zentrum, and Citizens for Europe.
Das Progressive Zentrum has a massive partner network you will learn more about later.
Part 18 Bad Kitty Exposé
The Alliance4EU, that works with the DHS CISA on censorship, was created to destroy the right and ring in a global EU!
“To be able to better fight the right-wing populists stuchtey & Roeder together with activists from Poland, Italy, France, Greece, Spain, Hungary, Austria, Germany, & Great Britain, have founded a new organization: the Alliance4Eu."
Read more of the d*mning evidence below.
This is what is CURRENTLY censoring us along with the EU and US governments, NATO, UN, and WHO etc! It’s gone global! This is why you MUST pay attention!
Part 19 Bad Kitty Exposé
It seems the DHS CISA censors, the Alliance4EU, has long been involved in Global philanthropy!
Yeah at first I found their connections to Philea, but that was a merging to create an even larger philanthropic org. The Alliance4EU worked with the older orgs too. Read more towards the bottom of this thread for more on this particular revelation.
“In 2021, the GLOBAL European Foundation Centre and the Donors and Foundations Networks (Dafne) merged to become Philea.”
All the worst far left funders and partners that you can imagine. Soros, Rockefeller, Gates, World Bank, World Economic Forum, and tons more!
They are even partnered with Serbian and Ukrainian philanthropy!🤔
You’re probably thinking it can’t get much worse, consider that I’m only halfway thru the exposé series.
Part 20 Bad Kitty Exposé
The DHS CISA partnered, Alliance4EU, has now recently cofounded a new GLOBAL networked org called DemoCrisis.
Their debut hosted by the European Parliament!
An org for gathering up the few crumbs of the populist right leftovers, and destroying them.
The DemoCrisis mission is fighting the populist right which they consider a pandemic and scourge upon the world.
DemoCrisis:
“Our mission is to foster cooperation among democratic activists, share experiences, and support one another in countries facing democratic backsliding or at risk. In a world where nationalistic populism transcends borders, our network seeks to provide global solutions and rapid support to democracy advocates worldwide.”
“The platform is based on the premise that nationalistic populism is a global pandemic, travelling fast across borders; nationalistic leaders who succeed inspire others to follow suit.
The solution must therefore cross borders, ensuring that best practices and even moral support travel fast among freedom fighters across the world. Just like climate change requires urgent cooperation at a global level, democratic backsliding is an urgent wake-call to act together. The DemoCrisis Action Network is connecting global solutions for a global problem.”
Part 21 Bad Kitty Exposé
It seems that Sara-Jayne Terp currently works for the UK Ministry Of Defense.
Also recall that I earlier found evidence of past Ministry Of Defense work for her too.
And a whistleblower in the CTI league files said she was commissioned personally by Obama.
Recall she’s involved with TONS of the CTI League Files disinfo orgs that were incubated. She even helped write the Global Disinformation Index (GDI).
This UK Ministry Of Defense position is quite coincidental since she hung out with a massive Integrity Initiative crowd at Disinfo Portal. And the Ministry Of Defense, and the State Department funded the Integrity Initiative.
————————————
Off Topic, but I wanted to mention this. These are tidbits from past threads, that got buried, and I just wanted to add them somewhere:
Also at the Disinfo Portal with Sara Terp, Pablo Breuer, and Hamilton68 etc was the CIA NED, and NED partnered Ukrainian and Serbian regime change orgs.
Also coincidentally, the Democrat resistance trainers, Momentum, were trained by the founders of Serbian Otpor. Otpor is defined as, “the resistance”.
Serbian Otpor was also included in the democrat Resistance Playbook and used as strategy in tons of website writings. The Dems also talk about the Ukrainian Orange Revolution as a strategy example often too.
Renee Diresta helped Obama’s Indivisible which used Momentum which was trained by the Serbian Otpor founders.
What’s with all this Serbian and Ukrainian regime change stuff?
PS, it took nearly 5 attempts to add the below part 21 to my highlights. 😹

🔥🔥🔥Breaking! Minnesota riot connections to the Chinese Communist Party!
As you are all aware from my past work, Minnesota was a Narrative Initiative test lab state. And the Chinese Communist Party partnered, Atlantic Council, was one of several funders.
You see, the Atlantic Council is in fact partnered with the CCP and the Center For American Progress! There’s multiple pieces of evidence on this.
This Arabella New Venture fund brainwashing org was created not long before the 2020 George Floyd riots.
Tim Walz’s ex Campaign manager and executive director of Minnesota’s Nursing Home Workforce Standards Board was once also director of Our Minnesota Future. Our Minnesota Future was a part of the brainwashing Narrative Initiative.
Our Minnesota Future included Anti Ice COPAL which is a part of the signal network and the same goes for the terrorist org, CAIR.
Copal’s parent organization is the Immigrant Defense Network.
Keep plowing thru the subthreads for tons of CCP evidence.
The Atlantic Council was involved in:
🔹 Integrity Initiative Muh Russia bull
🔹Narrative Initiative
🔹CTI League Files
🔹 First Draft News - Googles first major US and Global censorship org.
The narrative initiative used Minnesota as a test state. The Integrity Initiative in hacked documents was also shown to be heavily active in MN.
YES THE CCP PARTNERED ATLANTIC COUNCIL HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN EVERYTHING THAT AFFECTS US ADVERSELY.
@HarmeetKDhillon
@PamBondi
I’m gonna give you a short cut here. And remember, my research has expanded greatly since 2022.
For example, Google was found to have created the first major US censorship org, the First Draft Consortium, and later renamed to the GLOBAL First Draft News.
Minnesota Nursing Home employee threatens MAGA patients. Maybe this threat isn’t so idle, they probably chit chat at work.
Interestingly, the director of MN nursing homes standards board is a past Tim Walz campaign manager and CAIR associate.
The Minnesota’s Nursing Home Workforce Standards Board is ran by Tim Walz’s 2018 campaign manager who worked with the terrorist org, CAIR at Our Minnesota Future beginning in 2018.
Ex campaign manager, Leah Solo, was previously a director at Our Minnesota Future, which had 22 member orgs they colluded with. One was CAIR.
Tim Walz’s ex campaign director and now head of Minnesota’s Nursing Home Workforce Standards Board was director at CAIR partner, Our Minnesota Future.
“Tim Walz: Leah Solo
(June 7, 2018 succeeding Nick Coe) Started on the campaign as outreach director. Director at Our Minnesota Future. Candidate for state Senate District 44 (Plymouth) in 2016. Political director of the SEIU Minnesota State Council; started there as outreach director in Dec. 2012. Deputy campaign director for the Minnesotans United for All Families. Worked four cycles for DFL candidates including campaign manager on Mark Ritchie's 2010 run for Secretary of State, and political director on Tim Walz's campaign. Grew up in Mankato.”
Now this gets even better. Anti Ice and CAIR are built into everything imaginable in MN.
The, Our Minnesota Future, conglomerate ran by Tim Walz past campaign manager and now executive director of the Minnesota’s Nursing Home Workforce Standards Board not only worked with CAIR, but anti ice COPAL too.
Ilhan Omar even secured funding for COPAL. (See my past work for COPAL).
🔥🔥🔥Breaking! The Center For Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) are linked to the UK intelligence cutout, the Integrity Initiative. In fact, they hang out with Chris Steel of the Russian Trump Dossier and Anne Applebaum of the Integrity Initiative. When together they discuss how populist leaders (like in the US, Poland, and Hungary) are bad for liberal democracy.
First off, Damian Collins of CCDH was included in the Integrity Initiative leaks. Few know this.
Like this wasn’t bad enough. Damian Collins and Imran Ahmed of CCDH hang around with Orbis’s Christopher Steele (suspected integrity initiative) and the Integrity Initiatives Anne Applebaum.
Damian Collins and Imran Ahmed formed an org for covid disinfo called Infotagion along with UK Labour of all things. But who else?
Karen Kornbluh of the Alliance for Securing America (think Russian bot hoax of their Hamilton68) and the CIA’s radio free Europe.
Video - Infotagion host Damian Collins of CCDH with Christopher Steele, and Anne Applebaum discuss how populism in Hungary, United States, and Poland are bad things.
Ya think Chris steel had a motive, eh?
Can this seriously get any worse? Most definitely because as soon as I get my strength, CCDH gets exposed for running a coup upon America.
These folks helped write censorship laws going after Elon Musk, and they are the devil.
Sources to follow.
Damian Collins of CCDH was in the Integrity Initiative leaks for event attendance.
🔥🔥🔥Breaking! Bad Kitteh destroys the UK’s Keir Starmtrooper! The US government led, Open Government Partnership (OGP) started by Obama is still operating global shenanigans, and the UK and Australia are both part of it! Censorship and anti populism are part of the package, thus why they are both colluding to ban X! This org was dismantled by Trump in his first presidency, but the seditious left is still running it!
Yes the OGP has been removed from the US government, but we now have this treasonous democrat org globally controlling countries! If this isn’t a Logan Act violation, I don’t know what is! They must be charged! @AGPamBondi @EdMartinDOJ
Even better yet? Keir Starmtrooper has agreed to co-chair this treasonous US Logan Act violator!
Yes, the Logan Act (18 U.S.C. § 953) is exactly the statute that criminalizes unauthorized private citizens colluding or negotiating with foreign governments/officials in a way that interferes with U.S. foreign policy or disputes.
Logan Act:
- It prohibits any citizen (not authorized by the U.S. government) from carrying on correspondence or intercourse with a foreign government or its agents
- with the intent to influence that foreign government's conduct in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat U.S. measures.
Video 1 - UK Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy Addresses the 2025 OGP Global Summit and recognizes their new co-chair position
Video 2 - Sanjay Pradhan CEO of OGP - 77 countries trying to prevent the populist right and their “disinformation “.
The UK and Australia is illegally colluding globally with the US far left to thwart the right, and Keir Starmer and Australia are part of this!
The government org, the OGP was dumped by Trump. The radical leftist communists kept it rolling. The treasonous Keir Starmer is celebrating and joining this Logan Act violator.
The Open Government Partnership (OGP) has confirmed the UK government will co-chair the 74-country transparency and accountability initiative from October 2026 to October 2027.
Yeah Brazil, the only other country to take on Elon Musk. And an original OGP member. Way back to the Hillary days.
“The UK will follow the Government of Brazil as government co-chair, with a focus on democratic resilience, shrinking space for civil society, online disinformation, and illicit finance” opengovernment.org.uk/2025/12/01/uk-…
Here’s an Open Government Partnership invitation to Keir Starmer in July 2024, and yes he sent someone. Starmer is out to get populists. He joined this racket. See next post.
“In a world where democracy and open government face unprecedented challenges, amidst the rise of populist authoritarianism and kleptocracy, deepening conflict and systemic challenges such as climate change, the UK can be a beacon of hope and a leader in reversing the tide. We
count on your personal leadership and that of your government in championing open government values at home and abroad.
🔥🔥🔥Immigrant Defense Network - I was Hot on the trail! Thanks to my earlier work, I’ve now found the newest, and very large, MN anti ICE and protest network! And yes, it involves orgs that I’ve already discussed, but it includes the ACLU, plus more too! I also have how they operate!
It seems that COPAL is now running things. And Ilhan Omar and Amy Klobuchar even once had taxpayer funds directed to them! And Ayada leads, is well, leading things!
This is a secretive network of over 100 orgs called the Immigrant Defense Network (IDN) m. I’ve found as many of the 100 that I could. And it seems that many are also the pro Palestinian Marxist left.
Now remember, this is part of the 2020 George Floyd Network, so they are built for rioting too.
♦️So let’s get into the details of the Immigrant Defense Network now.
COPAL stands for Copal mn Comunidades Organizando el Poder y la Acción Latina. In 2025, The Bush Fndn helped establish the Immigrant Defense Network (IDN) when they gave $995,000 to COPAL.
This is not the Bush family that we are familiar with, it’s Archie and Edyth Bush of MN. And its Fndn was founded in 1953.
There seems to be Soros Open Society funding also. And Ryan Perez, is the director of COPAL.
“The IDN built infrastructure that responds rapidly to immigration enforcement operations throughout the state. It allows the IDN to verify information and deploy individuals trained in its constitutional observer program. These observers are the first responders to ICE and other immigration enforcement actions, and trained by IDN partner organizations.
IDN members patrol the streets, sifting through tips to find those that are “credible or verified” and sending alerts when needed by text, email and phone calls to its constitutional observers.
A Signal chat with every trained constitutional observer in the network and organization leadership is activated. Alerts are sent to partner organizations, which then alert their own email databases, allowing the news to spread beyond the IDN’s immediate network.
Documenting ICE actions is only the first layer in the IDN’s response. Once constitutional observers record immigration enforcement, that information is passed on to the network’s legal partners, who can use it to craft immigrants’ legal defense.
The IDN had been on high alert in the wake of large-scale operations in other U.S. cities. To prepare, it had established a campaign called Adopt a Corner to protect high-risk areas and send out alerts.
“People are going to be documenting, they’re going to be verbally upholding civil rights, they’re going to be asking if ICE is on the scene that they’re presenting the proper warrants and documentation,” said Ryan Perez, COPAL’s organizing director. “They’re just upholding people’s civil rights all around.”
♦️ IDN Members
The organization has a seven-member steering committee composed of a variety of both large and small immigrant advocates and human rights groups. They include:
- ACLU Minnesota
- Ayala Leads
- COPAL
- Minnesota Interfaith Coalition on Immigration (ICOM)
- Land Stewardship Project
- Minnesota 8
- The Advocates for Human Rights
Affiliates
- Center For Popular Democracy
- CAIR Minnesota
- Unidos MN
- Black Immigrant Collective
- Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid
Now the Center For Popular Democracy is as radical as they come. And they have been partnered with many far left groups for resistance work.
Here they even worked on a Democrat Attorneys Generals Association project with Obama’s OFA!Here’s the members:
“MoveOn, Indivisible, Organizing for Action (OFA), the Democratic Attorneys General Association (DAGA), The Collective PAC, Flippable, The Arena, Center for Popular Democracy Action, National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA), Latino Victory, Progressive Turnout Project, NewFounders, MobilizeAmerica, Sister District, Wall of US, Working Families Party, Resistbot, Stand Up America, Democrats .com”
🚨Before I begin, I’m adding extremely pertinent information. We have Tim Waltz and additional Amy Klobuchar linkage here. There’s also McKnight Fndn funding I didn’t see earlier.
Edwin Torres DeSantiago, the former political director for Gov. Tim Walz, Leads the Immigrant Defense Network.
“Edwin Torres DeSantiago was described by the Star Tribune last month as the manager of the Immigrant Defense Network (IDN), a project of Comunidades Organizando El Poder y la Accion Latina (COPAL), which is one of several Minnesota organizations behind “direct action trainings” which purportedly inform residents, “how to read judicial warrants, and contribute to a repository of data for legal challenges by recording agents’ conduct.”
Attendees also learn, “whistle codes for summoning crowds,” and organizers provide, “links to rapid-response clearinghouses,” according to the outlet.
IDN itself held a training session on Tuesday in Saint Paul, part of its Brave of US Tour that instructed attendees on becoming,”Constitutional Observers to protect and defend our immigrant neighbors.””
“DeSantiago also worked as Minnesota’s full-time COVID-19 Vaccine Outreach Director, and during the 2020 campaign he worked for both U.S. Senators Tina Smith (D-MN) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), after previously working for Smith’s campaign in 2018.”
“Other donors include the McKnight Foundation, who provided COPAL with $350,000, “for the establishment, strengthening, and tool creation of the Immigrant Defense Network,” and the Northwest Area Foundation, who provided“$100,000 to support development and expansion of the Immigrant Defense Network through public outreach, rights education, mental health training, emergency response services, and regional collaboration across the Upper Midwest.”
Essentially after Trump was elected, the Immigrant Defense Network (IDN) was born. The locals usually know the details first.
“Immediately following the 2024 presidential election, the community advocacy group Communities Organizing Latine Power and Action (COPAL) reached out to partners to strengthen ties. Those discussions led to the formation of the IDN, which has expanded to include more than 100 immigrant, labor, legal, faith and community organizations dedicated to advancing the constitutional rights of Minnesota’s immigrant communities.
Our network spans multiple counties across the state of Minnesota,” Torres Desantiago said.
The IDN has built infrastructure that responds rapidly to immigration enforcement operations throughout the state. It allows the IDN to verify information and deploy individuals trained in its constitutional observer program. These observers are the first responders to ICE and other immigration enforcement actions, trained by IDN partner organizations to exercise their legal rights when documenting federal agents in public.
“For many, we became the most reliable source of information,” he said. “We were sharing even with local agencies, because we were on the ground.”
A Signal chat with every trained constitutional observer in the network and organization leadership is activated. Alerts are sent to partner organizations, which then alert their own email databases, allowing the news to spread beyond the IDN’s immediate network.
Documenting ICE actions is only the first layer in the IDN’s response. Once constitutional observers record immigration enforcement, that information is passed on to the network’s legal partners, who can use it to craft immigrants’ legal defense.
Perez said the Nov. 18 IDN response proved that the Twin Cities can offer meaningful resistance to immigration enforcement.
The IDN sent a leadership delegation to Los Angeles to be trained by the National Day Laborer Organizing Network on how to adapt their Adopt a Corner model, Torres Desantiago said. In addition, members from the Center for Popular Democracy will soon come to Minnesota for two days of training with IDN.
We need more people trained,” Torres Desantiago said. “We have about 2,000 people all over the state, but we need 10,000 people minimum to make sure we have enough capacity.”
🔥🔥🔥Breaking! George Floyd riot funder linked to MN anti ICE activities thru AyadaLeads! And, Ilhan Omar was RECRUITED for her congressional seat by AyadaLeads. An organization for African Dyaspora. Oh boy! Here we go again!
AyadaLeads are one of the groups going after ICE in MN. (See post) Latino COPAL runs a helpline to report ICE. And utilizes SALUTE reporting guidelines.
But this gets even bigger! AyadaLeads is funded by the Headwaters Foundation for Justice. Which funded all those orgs we saw during the George Floyd riots in 2020.
Headwaters ran a fund especially for the George Floyd riots called the Transformation Fund.
Orgs like:
- AvadaLeads
- Unicorn riot
- Black Visions Collective
- Minnesota Youth Collective
- Tons more see screenshots
And of course Headwaters Foundation for Justice has gotten money from leftist billionaires like Rockefeller and Soros Open Society.
And this gets even better, Headwaters, AyadaLeads, Rockefeller, and Open Society are all pro Palestine.
These connections are mind blowing! Sources to follow.
Let’s start with the Ayada Leads X post. Recall Ilhan Omar was RECRUITED by Ayada Leads.
“URGENT COMMUNITY ALERT – Twin Cities
Reports say DHS has deployed ~2,000 ICE agents to MN for up to 30 days.
Know your rights. Stay alert.
COPAL Helpline: 612-255-3112
“Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is the first woman Ayada Leads recruited to run for office. She represents MN District 5 which encompasses Minneapolis & surrounding suburbs.”
