🧵 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.
4
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.
5
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.
7
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.
8
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.
10
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.
11
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.
12
It’s a cliché, but all signs so far suggest that Indivisible is primarily a Soros-backed Open Society project.
13
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.
14
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.
15
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.
16
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.
17
I mark May 27, 2003 as the date when George Soros declared war on the United States.
18
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.
19
Heather C. McGhee, Indivisible Board member, also serves on the board of Open Society Foundations... and Rockefeller Brothers Fund, for good measure.
20
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.
21
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:

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.

@SKDoubleDub33 Turns out these two people are the same ones who went viral recently for picking out US color revolution colors. So, yeah.
