Americans woke up this week to learn that the “No Kings” protests — billed as spontaneous grassroots outrage against supposed authoritarianism — were anything but organic. Documents and nonprofit filings show Indivisible acting as the central hub for logistics and communications, while millions in grants have flowed from the Open Society network into Indivisible’s coffers.
Let’s be blunt: this is the usual oligarch-funded playbook. Public records indicate the Open Society Action Fund issued a multi-year $3 million grant in 2023 and that Open Society entities have funneled more than $7 million to Indivisible since 2017, with other big-money vehicles like Tides and Arabella-linked funds showing up in the money trail. Ordinary Americans should be alarmed when political street theater is bankrolled by billionaire foundations and shadowy donor networks rather than by real grassroots donors.
Meanwhile the No Kings PAC — a separate, D.C.-based outfit — is busy telling voters it’s not tied to the October 18 day of action, even as the protest infrastructure mobilized nationwide using Indivisible’s platforms. That distancing is convenient but predictable: create the message through well-funded professional organizers, then claim innocence when the political heat arrives. The optics are clear and cynical: tell the public you oppose “kings” while accepting oligarch money to amplify your political warfare.
This is not harmless civic engagement; it is coordinated political engineering dressed up as democracy. Reporting shows Indivisible launching recruitment and training programs to scale protests and build sustained activist networks — a classic model for turning donor dollars into electoral muscle and pressure campaigns on lawmakers. If conservatives and independents don’t call out the hypocrisy and the networks behind it, these paid influence operations will keep reshaping our political landscape under a veneer of spontaneity.
Republican leaders are finally demanding accountability, with senators and members pressing for investigations into the funding channels behind these demonstrations and proposals to use existing laws to go after those who bankroll violent or extremist activity. Good — transparency and the rule of law must apply to every player, whether they wield money from billionaires or grassroots wallets. The American people deserve to know who is buying influence and if taxpayer-funded grants are being funneled into overtly partisan operations.
Patriots shouldn’t be intimidated by orchestrated outrage dressed as moral superiority; instead we should shine a spotlight on the money, demand full disclosure, and insist our election laws be enforced equally. The left’s penchant for billion-dollar activist networks shows their contempt for organic civic life — and should be treated as the political threat it is. If we want a healthy republic, we must expose the puppeteers, hold them accountable, and fight back with facts, ballots, and the unfiltered voices of real Americans.
