๐งต THREAD: Meet the Organizers Behind No Kings protest: Indivisibleโs Leah Greenberg & Ezra Levin ๐บ๐ธ
Taking a break from book writing for this…
This week, the movement that started with a Google Doc… Indivisible… is back in the streets. โ 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, theyโre leading NoKings, a nationwide push to remind America that democracy means no one is above the law. ๐โ
This thread dives into who Greenberg and Levin are, how Indivisible rose to prominence, and whatโs really behind the โNo Kingsโ movement.
As always, patience as I pull the thread together in real time.
๐
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 nationโs largest protests is no coincidence. If youโve 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.
Itโs a clichรฉ, 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 Bushโs 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 Hincapiรฉ, 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 Indivisibleโs 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 Societyโs 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.

(U.S. intelligence later confirmed that the Sandinistas supplied El Salvadorโs rebels with weapons and training.) ๐น As the solidarity scene matured: โข 1985: Nicaragua Network + Detroit CISPES โก๏ธ merge โ CASC (Central America Solidarity Committee) โข 1993: CASC + MICAH โก๏ธ merge โ OSCA (Organization in Solidarity with Central America) โข 1998: Former Nicaragua Network activists incorporate the Alliance for Global Justice (AFGJ), folding their old network inside as a project. Today AFGJ still operates as a left-wing umbrella group … the same lineage that began with 1980s โsolidarityโ campaigns. So yesโฆ the activist ecosystem that once rallied for Marxist guerrillas in Central America evolved, merged, and rebranded, and figures like Obama (via early CISPES work) and later Bill Ayers (through AFGJ-linked circles) both trace lines back into that same network.
CISPES (of which Obama founded a local chapter, according to David Garrow) was found to have furnished funds to Marxist rebels in El Salvador, in possible violation of the Firearms Control Act. They also met with FMLN, potentially violating FARA. The report goes onto detail other allegations that weren’t substantiated, such as CISPES taking direction from foreign governments on when and where to demonstrate.
I found a declassified CIA document that states that Farid Handal, brother of the Salvadoran Communist leader, traveled to meet with representatives of Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to create these solidarity networks in the USA — including CISPES.

Does anyone know how the SPLC is funded? They report receiving over $100MM in contributions each year, but CauseIQ shows they receive few large grants from other nonprofits; they report only 26MM and that’s over multiple years. That’s unusual. (And, no, they don’t report receiving government money.)
Best theory so far:
I think I’m onto something. They get paid as vendors by a ridiculous number of nonprofits:

๐งต THREAD: Richard Grenell: praising “diplomacy” with Maduro, Chevron, and the pro-Venezuelan MAGA faction ๐ป๐ช Just last week, Grenell declared: “I’ve sat across from Nicolรกs Maduro… I believe we can still have a deal. I believe in diplomacy. I believe in avoiding war.” Maduro is a Communist tyrant who has upended hundreds of thousands of lives, Venezuela is the self-declared capital of Antifa, and serves as the Western hemisphere proxy for Chinese and Iranian interests. Why is President Trump’s special envoy talking like this on stage in Asunciรณn? ๐ณ๏ธ๐ The answer goes a lot deeper and darker than you’d think. This might be my most controversial thread yet… but it involves a whole lot of MAGA players who are invested in maintaining the status quo with Venezuela, mostly through Chevron oil licenses.
For a long time, Chevron has had its tentacles on MAGA. Back on May 6th, a coordinated messaging campaign went up among multiple mega-influencers. Two days after that, one of the most famous MAGA influencers wrote her first op-ed concerning Chevron and China messaging. I redact the name because I don’t want to make it about her.
This early May timing coincided with the threat to shut down Chevron leases on May 27. Earlier this year, Harry Sargeant III was identified as the one who opened up communications between Maduro and Grenell in an attempt to create an “oil-for-migrants” deal. His

@MrAndyNgo Here’s the account. Have fun.
@MrAndyNgo This might be the first case of “Democracy Theory” radicalizing a killer (as opposed to the usual trans/antifa motives). He followed all the democracy folks. Posted a lot about saving democracy.

. @SomeBitchIIKnow and I have been working all night. We believe we’ve cracked it. Venezuela. “Harm reduction” policies. Soros DA attorneys. Alliance for Global Justice. Action Network. Mutual aid collectives. Legal defense funds. Mass migration. Antifa — your days of operating in the shadow are up.
@SomeBitchIIKnow I’m going to bed now, but we’re gonna put it together for the public ASAP.
@SomeBitchIIKnow Need to get a good night’s sleep, still haven’t slept well since that awful day. Not easy to explain it all in one go! But I hope you’re starting to see bits and pieces from my comments today.
