🔥🔥 Norm Eisen set up a massive election sabotage network of over 100 orgs! Working with Obamas Indivisible and the communist Working Families party!

This is Obamas Army. Literally..

Norm Eisens State Democracy Defenders runs this, and works with multiple orgs. I exposed one earlier, but never expanded upon it.

Now meet Democracy 21 which led me to it!

Back in May, I reported on Eisens State’s United which included a little on Democracy 21. Today we hear the rest.

Democracy 21 works alongside Eisens States Democracy Defenders. And Norm even sat on the Democracy 21 board.

What’s interesting is its Election Sabotage Response Network.

“We are working in partnership with State Democracy Defenders and its founder Amb. Norman Eisen (ret.) to help coordinate and lead the Election Sabotage Response Network. This is a network of more than 100 national and state nonprofit organizations working to protect the 2024 elections from election deniers and ensure the integrity of our elections.”

Well obviously this led to yet another Bad Kitty rats nest!

They are also organizing a post election response! Considering they are all radical leftists, it looks like Obama and Eisen have things well underway! Interestingly, many of these orgs are from the Trump Serbian Otpor (resistance) movement.

Event November 7, 2024

“Join Election Sabotage Response Network, the Working Families Party, MoveOn, Indivisible, Public Citizen, the ACLU and many more as we move quickly to make meaning of the moment after Election Day.

Come together with the PROGRESSIVE movement for a community-wide mass call to get expert assessment on the situation and learn about points of action moving forward in whatever scenario we find ourselves.”

Matt Traldi is a
Co-founder and Board Member of State Democracy Defenders. along with Norm Eisen.

Matt was also a cofounder of Obama’s Indivisible which was in the Resistance aka Otpor efforts with Obama’s OFA.

“In 2022, Matt led the Democracy Defense Coalition’s election crisis boiler room, a movement-wide coalition effort involving hundreds of organizations, then founding the Election Sabotage Response Network.”

Politico 2017 - Obama’s Army Takes On Trump

“Six months into a presidency geared toward undermining the legacy of the man these young operatives still revere — more as someone who shaped not just their politics but their entire political consciousness — OFA (Obama’s, Organizing For Action) has found new life. It’s become the lead organizing hub of the Trump resistance.”

“OFA has organized thousands of people to attend events protesting the president’s policies, while also advising new progressive groups taking shape. Matt Traldi, chief operating officer at Indivisible, met with OFA in January for a primer on what the group does and how.”

The Democracy Defense Coalition is the fight back table mentioned in the Times fortifying the election article. The same players are back.

Obamas alumni page pushed the Democracy Defense Coalition. Along with Obamas linked Blue State Digital now acquired by LONDON based WPP.

As I said earlier, the Transition Integrity Project and the radical leftist, Fight Back Table (Democracy Defense Coalition) were previously in a joint strategy call together with potential funders.

A storm is brewing…

Every last drop to be referenced with Internet sources. And a whole lotta extra to be added. Expect tons!Image

Let me work my way down thru my post with the sources. There will be a lot and this will take a while. Gonna dot all my i’s here.

This here 🧵 provides the link for the Democracy 21 document that lists the Election Sabotage Response Network.
Pay attention or not, but I’m sourcing every last detail. I promised it, and you will get it.

Evidence that the Working Families Party is communist.

Most notably, this. 👇🏻

Article by communist party (CPUSA) JOHN BACHTEL:

“Fourth, we participate in third-party formations like Working Families Party in New York, which won 120,000 votes Nov. 4, and five other states and Washington, D.C. Rules in these states permit candidates to run on more than one line, allowing for independence but not splitting the anti-ultra right coalition.”
This here 🧵 lists the participants of the resistance. The Trump resistance trainers were trained by the founders of the Serbian Otpor.

Otpor defined is the resistance.

Examples from first photo include:

♦️Working Families Party
♦️Indivisible
♦️MoveOn
♦️Plus tons more

I have a lot more on the Otpor, please feel free to search my timeline.

For convenience here’s a screenshot of a page from it.

Document on the Otpor training is linked at the end of this thread. Somehow the earlier link got cut off.Image

1. Top line of my first post held a typo.

Typo - it’s the Election Sabotage RESPONSE Network. I forgot the word response.

You know back in 2016, when all of this started, the only election denialism was from the left. 😝

2. Matt Traldi is a
Co-founder and Board Member of State Democracy Defenders. along with Norm Eisen.

3. “Matt Traldi is CEO and president of Greenlight America, a campaign hub that engages local community members to win approval for clean energy projects.

Before Greenlight, he was a co-author of the Indivisible Guide and a co-founder of the Indivisible organizations, for which he was named one of TIME Magazine’s “25 Most Influential People on the Internet” in 2017.

Never before has a color revolution been staged by a sitting president of the United States until now! Yes, Obama started in December 2016!

Politico 2017

OBAMAS ARMY TAKES ON TRUMP

Six months into a presidency geared toward undermining the legacy of the man these young operatives still revere — more as someone who shaped not just their politics but their entire political consciousness — OFA has found new life. It’s become the lead organizing hub of the Trump resistance (OTPOR).

OFA has organized thousands of people to attend events protesting the president’s policies, while also advising new progressive groups taking shape. Matt Traldi, chief operating officer at Indivisible, met with OFA in January for a primer on what the group does and how.

I owe you all a little bit extra here. I said 2016 and a sitting president.
Before I go on, here’s the same Norm Eisen and Matt Traldi Election Sabotage Response Network post election event that I mentioned earlier. But it’s listed under, “All On the Line”.

Interestingly, “All On The Line”, is a BARACK OBAMA’S OFA and ERIC HOLDERS organization.

Think I am on to something here? 😏

archive.is/qRHi8Image
I’m slipping and this is too important. Eric Holder and Barack Obama subverting democracy.

Who is behind All On The Line?

“All On The Line is a campaign of the National Redistricting Action Fund (NRAF), an affiliate of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), which is chaired by Eric H. Holder, Jr., the 82nd Attorney General of the United States.

The All On The Line campaign began, in part, when NRAF combined forces with (Obama’s) Organizing for Action, an organization founded by Obama aides that grew out of President Obama’s campaign infrastructure. The power of ordinary people coming together to enact change is central to the beliefs of President Obama and Eric Holder, and they are both active in this effort and supportive of this campaign.”

Now let’s head off to the Democracy Defense Coalition. Warning, it’s going to lead to LONDON where their frens help the Democrats in the USA.
Norm Eisens State Democracy Defenders cofounder, Matt Traldi, ran the Democracy Defense Coalition’s election crisis boiler room.

Well the Democracy Defense Coalition was the Fight Back Table from the Times article.

Their Democracy Defense Coalition website was funded by Moveon. And their privacy policy linked to Moveon. And they also utilized Mobilize dot US to organize actions.

The Democracy Defense Coalition, is a project of Fight Back Table Action.

Fight Back Table Action (FBT), is a fiscally sponsored project of Tides Advocacy.

They also planned to infiltrate conservatives on social media.

There’s tons more inside here. Any serious journalists or politicians should read this.
Blue State Digital operated the Democracy Defense Coalition for them. Blue State Digital and Glover Park were both taken over by WPP of LONDON. 😏

Protect Democracy of the Times, fortifying the election fame, used Glover Park Group as a contractor during the 2020 election.

Obamas alumni page pushed both Blue State Digitals, and the Democracy Defense Coalitions, work.

Blue State Digital, now a London WPP company, ran both of Obama’s presidential campaigns. And of course, Biden was his running mate. They operated along with others for Biden’s Campaign too.

Obama rented his DC home from Glover Park Groups very own founder, Joe Lockhart.

WPP’s, Blue State Digital, also works in London. When everyone talks about London connections to our elections this is it.

Glover clients include Blue Star Strategies, Volodymyr Zelensky, United Arab Emirates and more!

For example:

“New York-based global strategic communications firm Finsbury Glover Hering has registered to lobby for Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky‘s political party as the country normalizes ties with the Joe Biden administration.”

archive.is/T7EGe

There’s likely a ton of WPP’s Blue State Digital clients I never reported on yet. I’ll try reviewing them.
Protect Democracy which hired Glover Park as a contractor, was the Transition Integrity Project. I feel that this evidence should stand alone.

This is the transcript for the July 31, 2020 Jennifer Granholm, CNN interview. Bill Kristol was there too. Jennifer is a former MI governor and also a Transition Integrity Project participant.

“Well, that's the whole point of the -- it's called the Transition Integrity Project. There were 100 participants and, as you say, it was bipartisan, it's sponsored by a non-partisan entity called Protect Democracy. And, honestly, Jim, it was -- it was a real eye opener to many of us. It was pretty scary.”
Serbian Otpor, defined as the Resistance, seems to be a recurring theme.

Obama met personally with one of the Serbian Otpor founders, Serbian Srda Popovic

The Obama Foundation Global Network Lead sat on the board of Rhize, where Serbian Otpor founder Ivan Marovic operates. Otpor is used for CIA regime change.

The Serbian Optor trainers org, Rhize, was started by a former Obama field organizer called Erin.

The Obama foundation Network Lead also was a director at the State Department’s Open Government Hub. Samantha Powers has spoken at the hub and mentioned how great that this hub was located close to her office.

The Open Government Hub held TWO Serbian Otpor related events! You know the Otpor used for CIA regime change?

At one of those events, the fricking State Departments USAID, CIA Ned, Open Government Partnership, and the Serbian Otpor trainers, Rhize, all rubbed elbows!
I’m going to add the icing on the cake. The first major US and Global censorship came from Obama linked Google.

One chief architect was a Google News Lab man who spent Obama’s entire two terms visiting the Whitehouse.

Obama also knew and VISITED Google folks before he was even president. In fact Google worked to get him elected both times. I’ll share this next.
Obama has been working with Google since at least 2004. And before Obama was even president.

Google helped Obama get elected as president for BOTH OF HIS TERMS. Also, Obama is a globalist.

And Google started the first major US and Global censorship. But it also started the second major censorship also.

This brings me up to Ushahidi which is likely how Obama met Sara Jayne Terp from the CTI League Files. And also Jonathan Morgan. Ushahidi worked the Obama campaigns.

Google also initiated what became known as the CTI League Files scandal at its yearly Newsgeist meeting. Where it created Misinfocon that started the Credibility Coalition that wrote the AMITT/Disarm framework used by our DHS. The state department also helped write this framework too.

There’s just so much to be told here, some I haven’t even shared to date. My account has a plethora of data!
The above listed 🧵 is filled with pertinent info. This is in there too, but it deserves attention.

❗️Obama and Google is also linked to 2014 censorship in the US and UK too.

Ushahidi actually ran the earliest censorship (Pheme Project) in the US and UK starting in 2014. It was pretty big but nothing like First Draft was. First Draft was taken GLOBALLY by Google News Lab in 2016.

Google also funded Ushahidi. And Ushahidi worked for Obama.

As per the CTI League Files whistleblower:

Obama told UK Ministry Of Defense and Ushahidi employee, Sara J Terp, to make certain 2016 never happened again.

If someone important wants to pick my brain, I will make myself available. Because I can visualize the order of events and match it up with my past work.

🔥🔥🔥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.Image
Image
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.

Sources to follow
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.”

archive.is/IDP1wImage
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.

🔥🔥🔥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-…Image
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”

Sources and additional details to follow.Image

🚨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.”

archive.is/CDqIaImage
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.Image

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

Remember SALUTE when reporting.”

“Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is the first woman Ayada Leads recruited to run for office. She represents MN District 5 which encompasses Minneapolis & surrounding suburbs.”
