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.

Everyone has their opinion on the Iran war or Israel. Maybe that opinion is enough to deter them from supporting Trump. I may not agree with it, but I understand where it comes from and it's a free country.
But when that turns into allying with Communists - that's when I have to speak up.
Institutional left-wing populism IS Communism. I'm not using it as a slur as in everyone to the left is a Communist. I mean it literally.
I'm talking about PSL, CODEPINK, Singham groups. The movements on the left that are anti-globalist are overwhelmingly Marxist.
๐จ๐งต BREAKING: Former DHS Chief Miles Taylor's prank site collected death threats against the President and 4,000+ people's personal data. Then exposed them through all an open API. ๐จ
Two days ago, I showed you how Miles Taylor's GTFO ICE site exposed 17,000+ people's data on an open API. That site halted sign-ups and is still "under construction."
But Taylor's organization DEFIANCE[.]org didn't just build one leaky site. They built two. On the same server.
UndoTrump[.]org โ launched April 1, 2026 as an "April Fools' joke" โ collects names, emails, and political messages from people signing up for fictional "Removal Parties" at government buildings. The White House Ballroom. The Kennedy Center. The DOJ. Battleships.
4,000+ signup records. 3,300+ unique people. Same vulnerability. Same API. Same zero authentication.
And this one has death threats against a sitting President in the database.
The man who was deputy chief of staff for the department that houses the Secret Service couldn't secure a sign-up form. Again.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread. ๐
Here's a video of Miles himself soliciting PII in sign-ups. He implies he's not saving the user data... but he did.
Same server. Same IP address. 34.111.179.208. Google Cloud Platform. Same React 19 frontend. Same Express.js backend. Same registrar. Domains registered 13 days apart.
This wasn't two mistakes. This was one codebase deployed twice. Name.com
๐งต๐จ BREAKING: Miles Taylor: "Anonymous," former DHS Chief of Staff, Google security executive launched a website called GTFO ICE that collects your full name, email, phone number, and zip code to join an anti-ICE "rapid response network." And publishes the user infromation via a public API. ๐จ
17,662 people have signed up.
The sign-up data is exposed on a public REST API. No true authentication. No rate limiting. Full records: names, emails, phone numbers, zip codes, timestamps.
The man who ran the third-largest federal department (250,000 employees, $60 billion budget) who oversaw election security architecture and led counterterrorism operations, then served as Google's Head of National Security Policy...
...can't secure a sign-up form. But he does milk hundreds of thousands of NGO dollars on these credentials. While freeloading off his fame as the person who wrote the infamous NYT article "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration."
And despite me pinging @MilesTaylorUSA about this 12 hours ago, the REST API is still wide open and exposed as of now. Everything has been turned over to FBI, HSI, ICE, and more agencies.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread. ๐
Taylor's security clearance was suspended by presidential memorandum in April 2025. Trump called his conduct "treasonous." Five months later, Taylor launched DEFIANCE dot org. Five months after that... GTFO ICE.
GTFO ICE is a coalition of three orgs:
1. DEFIANCE dot org : Miles Taylor + Xander Schultz 2. Save America Movement : Steve Schmidt (yes, of the Lincoln Project) 3. Project Salt Box
๐งต THREAD: You've heard the phrase "OUR DEMOCRACY" a million times. But what exactly is "OUR DEMOCRACY"? ๐ค
When they say "democracy," they don't mean a republic. They don't mean consent of the governed. They don't mean your right to choose your own leaders.
They mean a system where "institutions" - NGOs, multilaterals, the permanent bureaucracy - advance a set of values they consider settled: equality, social justice, cosmopolitanism, global governance. These values aren't proposals to be voted on. They're treated as moral prerequisites that must be true *before* your vote counts.
Despite what they say, they aren't for checks and balances. Checks and balances limit what government can do to you. This limits what you can do to *them*. The brakes are on accountability, not power. The institutions that set the boundaries of acceptable policy have put themselves beyond the reach of the electorate, and they call that arrangement "democracy."
Trump has been an existential threat to this system since the moment he said "drain the swamp" ... because the swamp IS the system. When he threatened those institutions, he didn't threaten the republic. He threatened their immunity from it.
And they said so. On camera. At their own events. In their own words.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread.๐
Robert Kagan:
"I would say there is an argument for saying give me some smoke filled rooms... they weeded out the Donald Trumps of this world."
Backroom deals instead of primaries. Because primaries are how you got Trump... and the old gatekeepers would have stopped him.
Think Kagan's an outlier? Here's Brookings senior fellow William Galston at the National Endowment for Democracy's (NED) most prestigious annual lecture.
He explains that "liberal democracy" requires "some abridgement of majoritarianism."
Translation: democracy means limiting what the majority can do.
๐งต๐จ THREAD: How the Charlottesville rally and SPLC birthed an entire billion-dollar-plus "democracy" ecosystem ๐จ
11 federal counts. Wire fraud. Money laundering conspiracy. But here's what the SPLC headlines are missing:
โข The indictment describes a paid informant in the leadership chat that PLANNED Unite the Right
โข That informant "helped coordinate transportation" to the rally... at SPLC's direction
โข There is ONE publicly identified organizer whose documented role was transportation coordinator
โข His Discord posts about running over protesters were made 26 DAYS before Heather Heyer was killed by a car
โข The indictment says postings were made "under the supervision of the SPLC"
โข Charlottesville then became the founding event for a billion-dollar political machine
โข SPLC installed itself as that machine's definitional gatekeeper
I report. You draw your own conclusions.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread. ๐
It is NOT confirmed fact that Chesny, who appeared to be encouraging running over protesters, was SPLC's informant.
But the indictment (paragraph 11a) describes informant F-37, and it matches Chesny:
โข Member of the online leadership chat that planned Unite the Right
โข Attended Charlottesville (at SPLC's direction)
โข Made racist postings (under SPLC's supervision)
โข Helped coordinate transportation for attendees
Now here's why this matters beyond the fraud charges.
Charlottesville became the single most consequential founding event in modern American political infrastructure. Every one of these organizations says... in their own words.... that they exist or were transformed because of August 12, 2017.
๐งต THREAD: The true reason Pete Hegseth is being targeted is because he's standing between President Trump and a coup
@PeteHegseth named the institutions... CFR, Brookings, the general class... in 37 seconds in a video by @Liz_Wheeler . Within 72 hours of his nomination, a color revolution planning document cited him as an insider threat.
They didn't go after him because of drinking. They didn't go after him because of women. They went after him because every color revolution manual ever written says the same thing: you cannot topple a government unless the security forces defect. And a loyal Secretary of Defense is the one person who makes sure they don't.
I have the receipts. Their own documents. Their own training sessions. Their own words on camera.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread. ๐
@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler This is not my theory. This is theirs.
Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan โ the two most cited scholars in the color revolution field โ studied 323 regime change campaigns. Their finding:
Security force defections make campaigns FORTY-SIX TIMES more likely to succeed.
@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler So what did co-author Maria Stephan do next?
She became Chief Organizer of the Horizons Project. And on July 16, 2025, she trained New Kings participants on video.
"Security forces refused to obey orders to repress protesters."
