Meet The Leftist Power Brokers Engineering Anti-Trump Protests Nationwide

Protests against President Donald Trump’s administration have been cropping up nationwide. They appear to have two things in common — gray hair and a lack of energy. Are Americans supposed to believe these are organic? Or are they organized by left-wing groups to undermine Trump’s administration?

Now the answers to those questions are becoming clear. The “Hands Off” protests of April 5 and earlier anti-Tesla protests were supported by a coalition of powerful leftist groups, including The Indivisible Project, and organized through Mobilize America — which was initially founded as a Democrat PAC. Now leftist organizers are planning more demonstrations across America for the socialist holiday May Day. 

The ‘Hands Off’ Protests

Leftists gathered in cities across America to protest Trump’s administration on April 5. As images of the events streamed in from across the web, something soon became clear — many of the protestors were elderly.

Whether disaffected boomers, one-time hippies, or former bureaucrats, these were people with extra time on their hands. This was not lost on far-left activists, who used Mobilize America — a  “volunteer management platform and network that connects left-wing organizations, campaigns, and activists,” according to InfluenceWatch — to stage the Hands Off protests, apparently attempting to subvert confidence in the Trump administration. 

Hands Off is tied to the Indivisible Project, which launched in 2016 to help leftists “Resisting the Trump Agenda,” according to InfluenceWatch. Indivisible is listed among Hands Off’s “partners,” and the group’s website directs users to various Hands Off materials. Hands Off directs “general inquiries” to an Indivisible.org email address. When The Federalist asked about this, Indivisible Project Chief Campaigns Officer Sarah Dohl said the address online was a “typo.”

“Hands Off is a campaign, not an organization,” according to Dohl. She called it a “broad coalition effort,” pointing to “nearly 200 partner organizations.” According to Dohl, Indivisible provided Hands Off participants with content, toolkits, and “digital infrastructure.” 

“We were proud to help build the Hands Off website and provide early infrastructure to get the campaign off the ground,” Dohl said. “The site and campaign are now supported by many different groups, not just Indivisible.”

Indivisible partners with groups like the American Civil Liberties Union, Planned Parenthood, Families Over Billionaires, and the Democratic Socialists of America, whose “paramilitary wing” is Antifa. Notably, the DSA used Action Network — one of the groups coordinating the upcoming May Day protests — to boost socialists onto the Chicago city council.

Congressman sues gov’t over post-J6 Capitol Police actions

A congressman from Texas is suing the federal government for $2.5 million over the “unlawful harassment” he faced following the Jan. 6, 2021, protests and riots at the Capitol.

Rep Troy Nehls, R-Texas, charges that a Capitol police officer forced his way into Nehls’ congressional office without consent, then photographed materials in the room, including a whiteboard with a discussion of proposed firearms legislation.

Then the authorities followed up with an investigation by other officers.

Significant is the claim that the police violated the Speech and Debate Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which provides vast protections for members of Congress doing their duties.

The first count charges “intrusion on privacy,” for the entry of the officer into the congressman’s private office and taking pictures.

Government Set to Return Nearly $63,000 to J6 Defendant John Sullivan For Earnings Off of His J6 Footage – Sullivan Organized Antifa Rally at the US Capitol That Day

Breanna Morello reported on Friday that the US government is set to return nearly $63,000 to infamous J6er John Sullivan, who also goes by Jayden X. Sullivan reportedly made the money from his filming of the protests and rioting that day.

As was reported earlier at The Gateway Pundit

Antifa-BLM organizer John Sullivan was sentenced in April 2024 to six years in prison for his actions on January 6, 2021, at the US Capitol.

Antifa-Insurgence leader John Earl Sullivan was arrested in Utah after the US Capitol riots.
As reported previously, Antifa protester John Sullivan was caught on video posing as a Trump supporter during the rioting at the US Capitol on January 6th.

Footage obtained by the Gateway Pundit from militant Black Lives Matter and Antifa activist John Sullivan’s Discord server shows the so-called “civil rights activist” reveling inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6 as he damaged federal property.

Sullivan has maintained in multiple interviews that he regularly attends protests only to record what’s going on, but did not actively partake in the insurgence in Washington.  This was a lie.  He is a leader of the Utah Antifa-BLM movement and was previously arrested in Utah.

Protest at Travis AFB Against US Weapons for Israeli Genocide

At 7:30 a.m. on April 9, the heavy traffic flow into California’s Travis Air Force Base came to a sudden stop.  As they have done numerous times, the “People’s Arms Embargo” blocked the main road into the base. The action this time commemorated the recently deceased long-time peace advocate David Hartsough, one of the co-founders of the Peoples Arms Embargo.

With traffic into the base stopped, one angry airman jumped out of his pickup truck and threatened to assault the peaceful protestors. He finally thought better of it and returned to his truck. Other waiting airmen and airwomen were patient and a few indicated support for the protest. One lowered his window and said, “Palestine will be free!” In the workout gym in an adjacent plaza, many people on their workout machines waved and jumped up and down in support.

At the blockade on the six-lane divided highway, about forty police officers were quickly on the scene. They broadcast a recorded message in English and Spanish that anyone blocking traffic would be arrested. Twelve protesters were arrested and cited with the crime.

‘Entitled to reimbursement’: Trump DOJ says Jan. 6 defendants deserve to get restitution refunds after having cases ‘invalidated’

Certain Jan. 6 defendants who’ve had their cases “invalidated” and vacated by President Donald Trump‘s Justice Department deserve to get restitution refunds, the DOJ says — insisting Tuesday in a federal court filing that there’s “no longer any basis justifying the government’s retaining funds.”

Stacy Hager, an alleged rioter who was arrested in Texas, had been charged and convicted of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds; violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds; and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building, according to his original DOJ complaint.

Trump’s mass pardon of Jan. 6 rioters recognized Hager as one of more than 1,500 defendants who have been granted clemency since the president took office for a second time in January. The DOJ said Tuesday that what makes Hager’s situation unique — as well as others who had similar convictions like his “invalidated” — is that he was “not just pardoned” but instead told that the government was flat-out vacating his case while it was still on appeal.

“Here, Hager’s conviction was ‘invalidated’ when the D.C. Circuit vacated it, and thus ‘there is no longer any basis justifying the government’s retaining funds exacted only as a result of that conviction,’” wrote Assistant U.S. Attorney Adam Dreher in response to a motion filed by Hager on Feb. 28 for reimbursement of fines, fees and restitution.

“This Court subsequently dismissed the case as moot,” Dreher said. “The government thus agrees that, so long as the Clerk of Court confirms that Hager in fact made the special assessment and restitution payments he seeks to have returned, Hager is entitled to reimbursement of those payments.”

According to Hager’s original Jan. 6 complaint, federal investigators found that he was boasting about his participation in the 2021 Capitol attack on his Facebook page, even posting pictures and videos of himself trespassing, the DOJ said.

“Hager also posted words to the effect of, ‘it’s war, don’t go quietly,’” his complaint alleged.

“The publicly available information on the subject account showed, among other things, a photograph of Hager and an unidentified male on the lawn in front of the U.S. Capitol on January 6,” the document added. “Hager was wearing a ‘Trump’ baseball cap, a gray outer jacket, a dark navy or black colored coverall and appeared to be waving a Texas state flag, with the other male waving a United States flag.”

HORROR: Deranged anti-Musk leftist hurls two-pound rock through a Tesla windshield, seriously injuring innocent pregnant woman

The radical left’s hatred for Elon Musk has become so deranged they are now allegedly making pregnant women pay the price.

As Global News Canada reported, an anti-Musk protester in Vancouver on March 30 threw a two-pound rock that smashed through the windshield of a Tesla and struck a pregnant woman in the passenger seat. The incident occurred while Tesla was traveling north on Nanaimo Street.

“Geofenced Every Event”: Democrats Caught Staging Another ‘Inorganic’ Color Revolution Operation Against Trump

Far-left, billionaire-funded NGOs—closely aligned with the rudderless and imploding Democratic Party—have been waging a psychological warfare operation against the American people. Framed as “grassroots,” the party of hate and violence—evident in their “Tesla Takedown” color revolution aimed at killing Tesla to pressure Elon Musk on DOGE—has been building momentum in recent weeks to segue into anti-Trump protests this weekend. The goal is to manufacture the illusion that Trump is wildly unpopular, leveraging a vast network of dark money-funded NGOs that supply rent-a-protesters to rallies nationwide. 

Ahead of anti-Trump protests, we uncovered the Democratic Party’s NGO war machine, totaling 186 NGOs, unions, and other radical leftist groups that supported Saturday’s mass mobilization efforts of rent-a-protesters and, of course, a grassroots component of the protests (mainly old white angry liberals). 

Late Friday, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow openly boasted about the Democratic Party’s color revolution operation, even giving airtime to Ezra Levin of the NGO Indivisible Project, who attempted to convince the audience that the anti-Musk and anti-Trump protests are organic…

EPIC – Woman Walks Off Disc Golf Tourney After Refusing to Compete With ‘Trans’ Man: ‘This Is Unfair, I Refuse to Play’

A professional female disc golf player boldly refused to compete against a male transgender opponent in a recent tournament, arguing the match was unfair.

The incident unfolded at the Music City Open tournament in Nashville on Friday, with female golfer Abigail Wilson walking up to the tee to drive – before suddenly stopping and proclaiming she would not compete.

“Females must be protected in our division,” Wilson said, turning to the crowd before walking off the first hole. “This is unfair. I refuse to play.”

In a statement posted to Instagram tagging President Donald Trump and others, Wilson wrote she took a stand for women understanding the move may be career-ending:

I refused to play at the Music City Open. Females deserve to have their gender protected division be protected. This is unfair. I have worked so hard to get to this point to play on the DGPT, but the sacrifice of my career and my hard work is worth it if it means I can make a difference for other women, daughters, nieces, and the future of our sport. If you feel how wrong it is to have biological males be competing in female protected divisions in sports, now is the time to speak up and stand your ground.

I took this stand today because I was having anxiety about playing with the openly trans player on tour because of the planned protests for this year and the threats of violence at the event last year. After speaking with a member of the DGPT staff yesterday they made it clear they would be unwilling to change me to an earlier tee time when regarding my fears of safety on the course. They assured me that there would be bag checks, police, and security at the event. Upon arriving this morning there was no security or police presence, I was also allowed entry even though I did not have my credentials. There were zero security precautions.

Today I most likely ended my career and that is okay because this is bigger than me.

The golfer’s protest comes as the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) has controversially allowed biological male Natalie Ryan to play in the Women’s Pro Open (FPO) division.

Fans and other disc golf players have been critical of Ryan for allegedly earning over $50,000 participating in women’s tournaments, as the player has insisted on competing in FPO tourneys even though a Mixed Pro division exists where anyone can play.

Anti-Trump Protester Speechless When Asked Why He’s Protesting – Pulls Out Communist-Leader’s Talking Points Handed to Him With “Free Sign”

A protest against President Trump and Elon Musk is underway in Washington DC today.  The Gateway Pundit earlier reported on the youngest member of Congress threatening “subpoenas and investigations” if they take back the majority.

But is this an organic rally?  Or is it more in line with colour revolutions that the ‘Deep State’ within the U.S. has orchestrated across the globe, most notably the Orange Revolution (2004-2005) and Maidan in Ukraine (2013-2014)?

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow was promoting these protests last night on her show, telling her audience, “Go to bed kind of early.  Hydrate.  Eat your Wheaties in the morning.  Maybe put off that Friday night cocktail to make it a Saturday night cocktail…I’m only saying that because tomorrow is going to be very busy.”

Maddow then brought on Soros-funded Indivisible co-executive director Ezra Levin to promote the protests.

This type of media rhetoric is right in line with the USAID-funded news organizations that popped up in Ukraine in late November, 2013, to promote the Maidan.  It is worth checking out Oliver Stone’s Ukraine on Fire for free here to understand the innerworkings of USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy in helping to orchestrate these colour revolutions.

Journalists on the ground are documenting people being bussed in, some dressed head-to-toe in “full Islamic garb” and donning Palestinian flags, as shown in a video posted by Laura Loomer to X.

After Years in Court, Canadian “Freedom Convoy” Leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber Found Guilty of Mischief

On Thursday, Justice Heather Perkins-McVey, the federal judge overseeing the trial of Canadian “Freedom Covoy” leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, delivered her verdict.

The two organizers were each charged with six counts, including mischief, obstruction, intimidation, and counseling others to commit mischief and intimidation.

Ottowa Citizen reported: 

Lich and Barber were also found not guilty of obstructing police and counselling someone to obstruct police. Both were arrested without incident ahead of a mass police enforcement operation that began on Feb. 18, 2022, to end the protest entirely.

Barber was found guilty of counselling others to disobey a court order for telling people to ignore an injunction issued by a judge directing convoy participants to stop honking their truck horns in downtown Ottawa. Lich was not charged with that offence.

Another charge of counselling others to commit mischief was stayed at the request of the Crown because it was no longer necessary due to the mischief conviction. Justice Perkins-McVey had enough evidence to render a guilty verdict.

Maxime Bernier, the leader of The People’s Party of Canada decried the verdict.

Bernier wrote on X, “It is disheartening to learn that two of the heroes of the Freedom Convoy, @LichTamara and @ChrisBarber1975, have been found guilty of mischief in the longest and one of the costliest trials in Canadian history.”

“This clearly was a political witch hunt.”

“Meanwhile, Trudeau and his ministers who illegally invoked the Emergencies Act and violated basic rights will go unpunished.”

“Our justice system is corrupt to the bones.”
