🧵 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.
👇
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I mark May 27, 2003 as the date when George Soros declared war on the United States.
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.
Heather C. McGhee, Indivisible Board member, also serves on the board of Open Society Foundations... and Rockefeller Brothers Fund, for good measure.
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.
Angel Padilla, former National Policy Director, was also hired off National Immigration Law Center (OSF-backed initiative which advocates radically expansionist immigration programs).
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:
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.
🚨🧵 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. 🚨
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 — launched April 1, 2026 as an "April Fools' joke" — 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. 👇
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
🧵🚨 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. 🚨
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. 👇
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
🧵 THREAD: You've heard the phrase "OUR DEMOCRACY" a million times. But what exactly is "OUR DEMOCRACY"? 🤔
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.👇
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.
🧵🚨 THREAD: How the Charlottesville rally and SPLC birthed an entire billion-dollar-plus "democracy" ecosystem 🚨
11 federal counts. Wire fraud. Money laundering conspiracy. But here's what the SPLC headlines are missing:
• The indictment describes a paid informant in the leadership chat that PLANNED Unite the Right
• That informant "helped coordinate transportation" to the rally... at SPLC's direction
• There is ONE publicly identified organizer whose documented role was transportation coordinator
• His Discord posts about running over protesters were made 26 DAYS before Heather Heyer was killed by a car
• The indictment says postings were made "under the supervision of the SPLC"
• Charlottesville then became the founding event for a billion-dollar political machine
• 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. 👇
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:
• Member of the online leadership chat that planned Unite the Right
• Attended Charlottesville (at SPLC's direction)
• Made racist postings (under SPLC's supervision)
• 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.
🧵 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. 👇
@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler This is not my theory. This is theirs.
Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan — the two most cited scholars in the color revolution field — 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."
