Today, NOTUS published an incredible article wherein it interviewed former and current federal employees all outright admitting to plot a soft coup on President Trump, touting their expertise in color revolutions.
NOTUS is the newly launched flagship publication of Allbritton Journalism Institute (AJI), bankrolled by founder of Politico, Robert Allbriton, who has also been implicated by the Senate on foreign money laundering but never charged.
The article talks about one of the groups involved, DemocracyAID.
I cannot promise to unmask everyone, but I can reveal who's spoken publicly. Patience as I pull together this thread.
The NOTUS article states: there are current and former trained federal officials trained in formenting color revolutions who believe that the United States has become an authoritarian country, and they are applying these same tactics at home in hopes of a "nationwide general strike."
In other words, there are people who are actively employed in the federal government trying to instigate a color revolution.
One of these groups has formed an informal affiliation called DemocracyAID. Ro Tucci, who directed USAID Center for Democracy, is a co-founder of DemocracyAID and leading invite-only workshops.
She has a low profile, but I was able to find a deleted website linking to this page:
anddemocracy appears to partner with Indivisible, who of course was one of the main coordinator groups behind NoKings - and I have screenshotted additional BlueSky profiles for anyone who wishes to follow up:
Rosarie Tucci also has an extensive LinkedIn profile where she also links to a group called unify-usa:
She actively recruits from her colleagues on LinkedIn to DemocracyAID and recently hosted a webinar where she actively debunked the "myth" of American Exceptionalism and calls the current administration "authoritarianism on steroids":
DemocracyAID was also co-founded by Danielle Reiff, who also has an extensive USAID profile. She leads Signal chats with the "community."
Just five days ago, she wrote a LinkedIn post saying "USAID is being born again" in many ways - while quoting a post, Meridian Guild, which appears to be another USAID-adjacent group.
I don't have access to this guy's profile, but here are the screenshot captures about the Meridian Guild and the names involved - again, this is allegedly the replacement for USAID:
Mark K seems likely to to be Mark Kerr, USAID Paraguay Director.
DemocracyAID's instagram is friendsofUSAID. On the page, they promise they aren't going anywhere.
Friends of USAID has a separate LinkedIn profile where they boast about a tax deductible link. Why are we giving tax advantaged status to a group whose explicit goal is to stage a color revolution?
Ruh-oh. Clicking on the link takes you to this page ... where it says "Good Trouble Project" .
Good Trouble is the theme of the upcoming nationwide protest on July 17th, the NoKings v2.0.
So... does it seem that ex-USAID officials were the masterminds beind all the nationwide protests?
It is looking more and more likely.
Friends of USAID also has a Substack which is mostly anonymous, but does feature a few named people. In it, they reaffirm to not to go down without a fight:
Danielle Reiff, cofounder of DemocracyAID, also runs a "Peacebuilders Unite" page. Within it, she compares herself to figures such as Rosa Parks.
Remember the photo of Ro Tucci I posted earlier speaking at a conference?
Well, guess who was the featured speaker there. None other than Adam Kinzinger.
Many of the sponsors will be familiar - and it seems Norm Eisen was a speaker as well. There are many interesting names - you can see them at . americandemocracysummit.org
I will end the thread here - the purpose of the thread was to give anyone a start into investigating who is attempting color revolutions in the United States.
Overall, the Trump administration needs to keep an eye on all those fired USAID officials. Many are scattering to various NGOs. They are promoting all those protests, although I don't know if it's accurate to say that they are "behind" the protests.
They say they do not intend to go quietly and they believe that Trump is an existential threat. I say we believe them.

โ๏ธ WHY ARE WE NOT CHARGING THE PEOPLE WHO RUN THE CARAVANS?
One of the untalked about side effects of mass migration is its death toll.
The map represents migrant related deaths found around the El Paso area for the years 2022-2024 alone. Most due to environmental exposure.
Serious question: Pueblo Sin Fronteras regularly schedules caravans to Tijuana (where these deaths occurred). Why are we not prosecuting these people? Most of the people in charge of Pueblo Sin Fronteras are Americans.
Founder: Roberto Corona, a "Mexican-American immigrant."
๐งต THREAD: Honduras as a case study for mass migraton
I poked around into the Honduras story a bit more thanks to prodding from a subscriber. The subscriber insisted that there had to be beneficiaries or the "closed loop" where destabilization -> displacement -> resettlement would not have gone on so long unnoticed.
And, yes, the history of Honduras is very much interesting and educational... and I'm going to try my best to share what I've collected below๐
This Congressional report is worth reading in its full for a history (albeit buried under some euphemisms and omissions), but I'll excerpt the important parts here.
As we will see, the seeds of the mass migration crisis was planted very early on. But the actual migration did not begin in earnest until 2014. President Trump tried aggressively to cut down foreign assistance in his tenure, but was only partially successful, stymied by Congress.
๐งต THREAD: A retraction and no-spin truth about Carlos รlvarez-Aranyos, longtime NGO veteran
I received an email from an account claiming to be Carlos Alvarez-Aranyos, asking to retract my X post which suggested that he was a X account, Mrs. Butters. So, I've deleted my post and I'm sorry for anything unfactual I said about Carlos.
In the same spirit that I gave CODEPINK, I will set the record straight and post a deep dive on Carlos รlvarez-Aranyos and his NGO, American Opposition, without spin.
Patience as I put together this thread.
Carlos Alvarez's current venture is American Opposition, with a FEC committee ID of C00896720. The official Threads account hints at money struggles, and claims it is entirely volunteer-based.
I don't know if a ratio on Threads is the same as a ratio on X, but American Opposition got a lot of negative responses for suggesting that Pete Buttgieg should have more influence than Harry Sisson or Lindy Li.
Meet @McFaul , who wears many hats but is perhaps most famous for being Obama's ambassador to Russia from 2011-2014.
A career ideologue turned diplomat, McFaul spent decades preaching regime change from the safety of academia and NGOs. All the while making insane statements he had to repeatedly apologize for and having a good dose of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
This is the story of how a โdemocracy promoterโ helped set fire to U.S.-Russia relations.
Patience as I pull together this thread in real time.

Remember how I've made the point that activists are "discovered" in college and trained from early on?
McFaul was no exception. He was sent to the Soviet Union by several NGOs during his university years, where he also volunteered for the National Democratic Institute, one of the Deep State NGOs.
He was never a "neutral party" in any sense - he was groomed to be an activist early on.
@McFaul In fact, he openly wrote of regime change from his college years and bragged about training democratic activists within the Soviet Union. And, yes, this was done with partial federal dollars.
Salt Lake City and surrounding areas have experienced a significant boom in population driven by international migration. All around Salt Lake County, multifamily housing is going up.
In one year alone (2023-2024), the Salt Lake City metro area gained 19,124 international migrants. Given Salt Lake City proper has only about 209K people, that is a significant change.
But, who's paying for this housing? I did some research and am sharing my compilation here. (Patience as I slowly compile in real time.)
BTW, this topic has nothing to do with the proposed federal land sales - which seems dead now.
Utah Department of Workforce Service receives tons of federal money for refugee assistance. You can search for it in USA Spending, or browse the federal awards here: taggs.hhs.gov/Detail/RecipDeโฆ
The overall federal budget can be found here . Obligations nearly quadrupled from 3 billion in 2019 to a peak of 11.5 billion in 2023. usaspending.gov/federal_accounโฆ
๐งต THREAD: The history of Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODE PINK
Jodie Evans gets most of the attention as the co-founder of CODEPINK and Neville Singham's wife. But Medea Benjamin's history may be more interesting.
While creating the linked thread below, I dived into Medea Bejamin briefly - who had an interesting history of speaking to Chinese media.
She co-founded Global Exchange with her husband, Kevin Danaher, which goes on a number of "Reality Trips" to various closed countries - Cuba, Venezuela, among others.
If you've followed me long enough ... you know that's a big red flag. State-facilitated exchange trips are one of the most common "soft power" tools that countries have in exporting their ideology to others.
Benjamin, per SFGate, has been a career activist since her college years, spending much of her time overseas in Africa. The Wikipedia page says that she joined Students for a Democratic Society in college - if so, this makes her yet another homegrown career NGO-ist.
The prior thread mentioned briefly that she went to Cuba from 1979 to 1983 to work as a translator for their official Communist Party newspaper. She lauded their comparative social equality, describing it as "I died and went to heaven."
She got deported after writing an anti-government article, having overestimated Cuba's taste for freedom of speech.
