🧵 THREAD: Meet the Organizers Behind No Kings protest: Indivisible’s Leah Greenberg & Ezra Levin 🇺🇸

Taking a break from book writing for this...

This week, the movement that started with a Google Doc... Indivisible... is back in the streets. ✊ Founded by former congressional staffers Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin and funded by George Soros' Open Society network, Indivisible has grown from a viral guide into one of the most powerful grassroots networks in the U.S.

Now, they’re leading NoKings, a nationwide push to remind America that democracy means no one is above the law. 👑❌

This thread dives into who Greenberg and Levin are, how Indivisible rose to prominence, and what’s really behind the “No Kings” movement.

As always, patience as I pull the thread together in real time.
👇Image
Image
Image
When you go to the NoKings website, you'll find over a hundred partners listed, many of them familiar and many Soros-backed. They include big names closely tied to the DNC such as Marc Elias' Democracy Forward.
Greenberg and Levin are co-founders of Indivisible. Other than donor-advised funds, their backing primarily comes from Open Society and Fund for a Better Future. The latter is a shadowy nonprofit backed by Sergey Brin and played a key role in the infamous "Build Back Better" campaign of 2020.Image
Image
The first thing you notice about Leah Greenberg's LinkedIn is that she held an advisory position in the State Department, despite having gotten her International Relations BA only six years earlier. Image
Image
That Leah Greenberg once served in the State Department, was trained in foreign policy, and now leads the nation’s largest protests is no coincidence. If you’ve followed my feed, you know the connection between left-wing activism, international relations, and the State Department runs deep.

None of this is spontaneous. For years, subversive actors have worked to stage a color revolution here at home.
Greenberg appears to have been a Rosenthal fellow - literally groomed to be a key player in foreign policy early on. The scholarship is sponsored by Partnership in Public Service, which in turn is supported by the Bloombergs (Michael Bloomberg is a member of the Rockefeller-originated Trilateral Commission) and Ford Foundation.Image
Image
Indivisible started out in 2016 as a Google Document led by Greenberg, Levin, and other Congressional ex-staffers. Within weeks, it went viral and money poured in, and they began organizing themselves into group quickly. They modeled themselves after the Tea Party. Image
Image
In addition to being groomed to work in the Department of State, Greenberg is an ex-staffer under Tom Perriello (D-VA).

Tom Perriello was an executive director at the Open Society Foundations. Image
Image
The money connections here become much clearer: the co-founder of Indivisible literally worked for the guy who helped run Open Society Foundations for the USA. No wonder she was able to amass massive amounts of funding and get organizational support in such a short time.
Evidence Pereillo and Greenberg have maintained a close relationship: Pereillo also served as Special Representative for the Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review at the State Department from February 24, 2014 to July 5, 2015 under Barack Obama. This overlaps almost exactly with Leah Greenberg's tenure on the same board.Image
Image
Open Society Foundations saw it fit to mention their financing of Indivisible in one of their articles early on (2018). In writing for Columbia University's Journal of International Affairs about how Trump eroded democracy, they have a quote from Greenberg and Levin about Indivisible receiving funding from OSF.Image
Image
It’s a cliché, but all signs so far suggest that Indivisible is primarily a Soros-backed Open Society project.
Ezra Levin, the spouse of Leah Greenberg, got his start as Deputy Policy Directer under Representative Lloyd Doggett (D-TX). He appears to serve as a charismatic face for Indivisible. Image
Image
Image
The most interesting connections are through Greenberg, but Levin's star is rising as well. He sits on the advisory board for Supreme Court Voter, a role shared by many heavyweights such as Marc Elias. Image
Image
Image
Alongside the Open Society Foundations, Democracy Alliance stands as the other major donor. Created by Rob Stein, also a backer of Media Matters, and closely tied to Arabella Advisors, Democracy Alliance draws its funding from twenty-five affluent progressive patrons, chief among them... George Soros.Image
Image
Image
As an aside, George Soros had long collaborated with the State Department since the 80's, but Bush’s handling of the Iraq War convinced him that the United States had become the greatest obstacle to realizing his vision of Open Societies. Image
I mark May 27, 2003 as the date when George Soros declared war on the United States. Image
Indeed, Indivisible, the leading organizer of these nationwide protests, is staffed with multiple Open Society-linked members, not just Leah Greenberg. Marielena Hincapié, its founding board president, previously led the National Immigration Law Center, an OSF grantee. Image
Image
Image
Heather C. McGhee, Indivisible Board member, also serves on the board of Open Society Foundations... and Rockefeller Brothers Fund, for good measure. Image
Image
Tom Perriello himself became executive director of OSF in 2018, the same year that Indivisible started getting millions. He is also listed by KeyWiki as an Indivisible Civics Board Member, although I could not trace this. Image
Image
Angel Padilla, former National Policy Director, was also hired off National Immigration Law Center (OSF-backed initiative which advocates radically expansionist immigration programs). Image
CLOSING THE THREAD:

Twenty years ago, George Soros declared a mission to "open" the United States; AKA cleanse the USA of its attachment to traditions and faith. Since then, he's poured billions into formenting a color revolution -- the same playbook that got banned him from Hungary, Russia, and others.

The No Kings protest is just his latest front in his personal war.

Millions in Soros-aligned philanthropy have underwritten Indivisible’s rise from a viral Google Doc to a nationwide political engine.

Whatever the banner, the money and machinery behind the No Kings protest traces back to the same source: Open Society’s network of influence.
There is an account who won't allow me to reply accusing me of being a grifter because they think I'm implicating the wrong people instead of ex-USAID employees.

NED is *already* working hand-in-hand Soros via representatives such as Rachel Kleinfeld (as @SKDoubleDub33 is finding), Randi Weingarten (NDI; also was a spokesperson for the first NoKings rally), AFL-CIO (one of NED's four charter foundations; their local chapters organize many of the NoKings rallies alongside local Indivisible chapters).

Open Society has a decades-long history of formenting color revolutions alongside the State Department. There isn't a "bigger badder guy" than that particular hydra.
@SKDoubleDub33 Prior thread on these same ex-USAID employees; you can judge for yourself if they're the masterminds or just part of the machinery:
@SKDoubleDub33 Turns out these two people are the same ones who went viral recently for picking out US color revolution colors. So, yeah.

🧵🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: THE 4-DAY MIRACLE, or How MWEG and a 500-Org Coalition Weaponized Charlie Kirk's Assassination 🚨

1,400 people. 20+ organizations. 3 professionally moderated panels. 4 days after an assassination. Does this sound organic to you?

September 14, 2025 (a Sunday, no less) the "Dignity Over Violence" zoom goes live. The coalition's central resource was a website called turntoward[.]us registered by Mormon Women for Ethical Government (MWEG) ONE DAY after Charlie Kirk was shot dead at UVU. Registrant email: internal.support@mweg.org

"Turn Toward." Now say "Turning Point." Did they name the campaign after the dead man's organization to advance their own political agenda?

I'm going to reverse-engineer how you mobilize 20 NGOs in 4 days... because you CAN'T. Not unless the infrastructure was already built.

I dare you, @mormonweg , to explain how these receipts are "absolutely false."

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇Image
STEP 1: You need a pre-existing ACTIVATION LIST. A searchable database of organizations ready to mobilize on command.

The #ListenFirst Coalition has existed since 2017. 500+ organizations. Backbone staff. Working groups. A "Marketing Intelligence Hub." A "Storytelling & Media Relations Hub." Congressional testimony pipeline. Coordinated media with WSJ, WaPo, PBS.Image
This is the same Listen First project that was described here:

Mormon Women for Ethical Government (@mormonweg) is quite upset that I dedicated a presentation to them to a Utahn Republican Women's group. They called it "absolutely false."

I don't know what they are alleging is false, like Bill Kristol is among their biggest donors (as @labtechleigh found), or that their co-executive director Jen Thomas represents MWEG in a meeting series as part of a fractal ecosystem to transform America's governance.

But in the spirit of last year's thread on @CODEPINK , I will do a 100% factual, zero opinion, receipt-based thread on MWEG to clear the air. As MWEG said - "be kind, but be direct."

💕💕💕💕Image
@mormonweg FACT: MWEG reported a jump from 437K to 1.3M in one year from grants. Image
@mormonweg FACT: Bill Kristol's Group, Defending Democracy Together Institute, is a large donor at 150K for at least 2 years going. What relationship does Kristol have to LDS women? Image

🧵 THREAD: "House of Singham" : Neville Singham's mega-exposure.

This is part 1 out of 5 in a mega-project exposing Neville Singham and his money flows. Honored to have been friends with @AsraNomani throughout this.

I'm going to explain this article below - but you should also click through it, because it shows the amazing depth and scope of research which Asra has done. 👇

As always, patience as I pull together the thread.Image
@AsraNomani Neville Roy Singham is one of our most infamous financers in the revolutionary network. He has funneled $278 MILLION into a network of ~2,000 organizations that push pro-China, anti-American propaganda across five continents. Image
It starts with a wedding.

Jamaica, February 2017. Singham (tech fortune from Thoughtworks) marries Jodie Evans (co-founder of CodePink). Four days of lectures, panels, and late-night strategy sessions.

The wedding itinerary featured a panel called "The Future of the Left." Not subtle.Image

🧵 THREAD: Democrats TEACH voter identification and election integrity ... just not in America

The Democratic Party has an international arm called the National Democratic Institute (NDI). It's funded by $181M/year in US tax dollars. Its board includes Stacey Abrams, Donna Brazile, and Tom Daschle.

But in regards to today's SAVE America Act debate... did you know that the NDI has taught and supervised election processes all over the world?

For 40 years, NDI has told every developing country on earth that voter ID is essential for election integrity. They've recommended biometric systems... yes, that's right, NDI recommended biometric systems, which goes way beyond SAVE America Act! They praised fingerprint verification. Tracked ID card issuance rates.

Meanwhile, Democrats call the SAVE Act "Jim Crow 2.0."

Same party. Same people. Opposite positions.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread 👇Image
NDI's own 2001 guide emphasizes the importance of only citizens voting. It further says voter ID cards "introduce an additional safeguard into the system" and describes photo ID and fingerprints as standard election infrastructure. Image
Image
In one of their PDFs, the complaint in Nicaragua wasn't that voter ID existed. It was that the government wasn't issuing ID cards FAST ENOUGH. They even called the issuance of temporary IDs as ignoring "the far more fundamental problem." Image

🧵THREAD: Iranian influence in US far-left protests

A Jewish rapper got beaten bloody at a Khamenei vigil in Washington Square Park. What happened next exposed something much bigger: a documented pipeline connecting Iran's sanctioned state TV directly to far-left protest organizers on American soil.

The receipts are extraordinary.

As always, patience as I pull the thread together. 👇
Rapper Kosha Dillz walked up to a vigil for Ayatollah Khamenei. He looked for images of the tens of thousands of protesters Iran killed. Organizers tackled him, punched him in the head, and kicked him on the ground. He was arrested alongside his attacker. Image
Image
The vigil drew only a few dozen people, but from five far-left organizations, including the Workers World Party. A new report by @ncri_io obtained leaked internal records from Iran's Press TV found something stunning: hundreds of communications between Press TV officials and the very same organizers.Image

. @DOGE_GSA FYI, seems like our taxpayer money pays for Punchbowl News subscriptions? Image
@DOGE_GSA Punchbowl News ads brag about 65,000 weekly impressions. That is laughably low.

That also means: they literally launder access between corporations and Congress / other policymakers. Image
@DOGE_GSA What does it cost to place an ad in their newsletter? A mere $210,000 !

To show how ridiculous this is ... the "Promote" button right here on X says I can achieve 75,000 impressions for $500.

This is access laundering. Plain and simple. Image
