🧵 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:
The Ceuta invasion is being coordinated by Facebook groups. @finkd
The flagship group description: "Ceuta by every route #hraga_ceuta — Migration is an idea, and the idea does not die."
There are countless posts soliciting people to go with others. This is in clear violation of the Facebook ToS that prohibits content "offers to provide or facilitate human smuggling" or content that asks for "asks for human smuggling services."
@finkd They call it a "liberation" of Ceuta, a handover back to its owners. @mattvanswol is right on the money. It's an invasion.
@finkd @mattvanswol Posters are exchanging phone numbers, maps, requesting "spots" to be guided, discussing how to purchase equipment such as fence grips.
I haven't yet found any discussions on what they plan to do after landing in Ceuta.
Tonight the Oversight Project ( @ItsYourGov ) released roughly 70 hours of audio from Joe Biden's 2016–2017 interviews with his "Promise Me, Dad" ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer, the same recordings Special Counsel Robert Hur cited in 2024. They came out only after a two-year court fight with DOJ that Biden's own lawyers tried, and failed, to block.
I've started going through them. Across five of these interviews, with no cleared person in the room, Biden pauses to flag his own notes as classified or too sensitive to hand over. On one tape he says it out loud:
"Some of this may be classified, so be careful." (April 24, 2017. Audio below.)
Oversight's Jeff Clark: "The tapes make clear that Biden disclosed massive amounts of classified information to his ghost writer."
No thesis yet, analysis is ongoing. But here are the biggest quotes so far, in Biden's own words, each with a timestamp you can check against the audio.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇
@ItsYourGov Feb 16, 2017 [0:04:19].
"early on, um, in '09, I just found all the classified stuff downstairs."
Biden reads his diary aloud to Zwonitzer, narrating a classified National Security Council meeting (Austin, Dunford, Blinken, Obama, Carter, Brennan), then:
@ItsYourGov April 24, 2017 [0:45:31]. On the handwritten records he kept from office:
"I had all those at the house in a safe. I don't know what… they made me do with them."
🧵🔥 THE MOVE: The Framework Candace Owens Uses to Train Her Audience to Ignore Evidence 🧵
Tyler Robinson left a handwritten confession note under his keyboard for his roommate. He sent a text first: "Drop what you are doing, look under my keyboard."
The response from Candace's audience: "Where's the metadata on those texts?”
The metadata exists. Search Warrant No. 3217131, Page 7: a warrant was obtained for Lance Twiggs' cellphone. The Statewide Information Analysis Center (SIAC) provided Apple ID information for both accounts on the device. FBI investigators reviewed the data. The warrant covers iMessages, FaceTime and call history, photographs, videos, location history, websites visited, email, and browsing history.
But that answer won't matter to anyone who asked. And the reason it won't matter is the whole point of this thread.
Here's how THE MOVE works:
- Candace finds something about the case that hasn't been publicly reported.
- She treats the absence of public reporting as the absence of investigation.
- She fills the gap with a theory.
- When the evidence eventually surfaces, she doesn't engage with it... she finds a new procedural question about the evidence itself.
- And that question does the same job the old one did: allows her audience to keep scrolling.
Below are six videos. One pattern. Once you see THE MOVE, you'll catch it every time she opens her mouth on this case.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇
Candace: "Does he even exist? I think it's a fair question. Is he just an AI app?"
THE MOVE: Surveillance photos aren't perfectly clear, ergo they're not Tyler Robinson.
REALITY: He walked up to the TPUSA table and talked to staff. Four visits on camera. DNA at 30 quintillion to 1. DNA on the rifle towel. Turned himself in by name with his parents. One blurry stairwell frame let her skip past all of it.
🧵🔥 THREAD: Candace Owens on Erika Kirk, in Her Own Words
Candace, yesterday, pre-spun a @ncri_io report she hadn't read, calling it "Zionist." The report is Candace's own show. It doesn't accuse her of anything. Her own footage does that.
Before the investigation, Candace spent 40 episodes defending Erika Kirk. She called her "genuinely such a nice person." She swore that nobody "outside of my husband and Erica Kirk" had the power to shut her up. She told her audience she would stop if Erika asked.
Erika asked her to stop. Candace didn't stop. She couldn't; the investigation had become her primary subscription product. So she revoked Erika's authority the only way she could: by making Erika untrustworthy.
No new evidence appeared between the praise and the accusations; just a new business need.
And this business need may very well end up in tragedy.
Here is Candace and her audience - in their own words.
(Special credit to @SKDoubleDub33 for the music.)
As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇
Candace built four mutually exclusive theories about who killed Charlie Kirk. Each version contradicts the last. None had a single named source.
The closest thing Owens comes to offering actual receipts is declaring a .30-06 could not have possibly killed Kirk and left no exit wound. One that is easily debunked by searching for counter-examples.
🚨🧵 MAJOR BREAKING: German government has been grooming DSA leaders for over a decade, and nobody noticed? 🇩🇪
Last night, Darializa Avila Chevalier — endorsed by NYC-DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) — beat a five-term incumbent to win New York's 13th congressional district.
@AsraNomani has been reporting on their ties to Cuba and the China/Singham network. But what’s not known is DSA’s deep ties to the German government.
The Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (RLS) is the political foundation of Die Linke — the German parliamentary party formed from the merger of the Party of Democratic Socialism, itself the legal successor to East Germany's ruling Marxist party, the SED.
Under German law, every party in the Bundestag gets a taxpayer-funded foundation. Die Linke's share is approximately EUR70MM annually.
Most German party foundations sponsor conferences, publish research, and fund exchange programs. What RLS-NYC did was put its own staff inside DSA's organizational leadership — concurrently — for over a decade.
In 2012, RLS opened a New York office. EIN 45-3658022. Their own annual report states: "With the help of funds from the BMZ and the Foreign Office, the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung maintains a network of international relationships. This includes financing its foreign offices."
Over the last 13 years, Berlin has sent millions to this office.
Despite these ties, no FARA registration for the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung was identified in the Department of Justice database.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread.👇
Neal Meyer is listed on the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation's payroll as "Project Manager."
Meyer previously served as NYC-DSA's chapter treasurer from 2016 to 2018.
On January 15, Meyer published "Big Stakes in the Big Apple" on , a strategic analysis of DSA's electoral prospects after Mamdani's mayoral victory.
One week later, NYC-DSA voted endorse Darializa Avila Chevalier for NY-13. rosalux.nyc
🚨🧵 BREAKING - The "conservative" protest against AI data centers has an anti-ICE NGO organizer, a DSA member, Facebook money.
Other than that, totally grassroots.
Axios ran an "exclusive" Wednesday about a "conservative group" called Humans First planning a nationwide day of protest against AI data centers on July 18. Amy Kremer is chairing it and invoking the Tea Party.
Axios didn't mention that Humans First was incubated by the Center for AI Safety, an organization funded with millions from Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz. Or that its original staff included a Sunrise Movement organizer who sat in at Pelosi's office with AOC and a DSA member who organized for Kamala Harris.
NBC News described CAIS as having founded Humans First "to be a sort of Trojan horse to make AI safety issues more palatable to a conservative political audience."
