As you read @datarepublican’s posts about all of the plans we’ve uncovered over the last year, keep this in the back of your mind.
The former USAID/USIP employees are using the “democracy grading”/“democracy assessment” tools right here on U.S. soil. They were created for use in other countries - and they make sure to mention all of the work they’ve done across the world. By “work” they mean “color revolution/regime change.”
They’re almost giddy that they get to use it here now that they are not employed by the U.S. government.
🧵1.🚨MORE EVIDENCE
There is a VERY REAL color revolution happening right now on US soil guided by former federal employees including USAID and USIP and their national & international partners and mobilized by convenings like the 22nd Century Initiative conferences and the American Democracy Summit.
Myself, @iamlisalogan, and @datarepublican have been working together to show you how these groups are conspiring, who they are conspiring with and what they’re doing—both in the short & long-term—to try and overthrow the government, and change our economy & our Constitution.
INTERNATIONAL TOOLS IN A DOMESTIC APPLICATION
🚫In this video, hear Marcia Mundt, previously with USAID and the US Institute of Peace (USIP) explicitly state that what she is doing now wasn’t allowed when she was employed by the government.
‼️She talks about how she’s using the Democracy Assessment Tool developed at USAID but is now applying it to the US. She goes on to say, “we were never allowed to analyze the United States in this way before, because there is like this big dividing line between foreign assistance work and domestic work.”
🛑 That “dividing line” is the differemce between “international government aid” to promote “democracy” in foreign countries vs. TREASONOUS SEDITION in the US (using tactics for instigating regime change in other countries to attempt to unseat a duly elected president in America).
🗣️Marcia says:
“…this [Democracy Assessment Tool] was kind of helping us decide where we should be investing our resources around the world to bolster democracies or, you know, to stop backsliding…
…And so I never really got to use it for a US context. But now that I no longer have a job, I CAN USE IT FOR WHATEVER I WANT…
…And so I'm drawing on all of this expertise and feedback from folks around the world who have dealt with authoritarianism.” 🚨⚠️
📊Now Marcia’s Democracy Assessment Tool is being used to measure the efficacy and impact of their strategically planned and coordinated events like the No Kings Day protests. 🪧
❓What other ways are Marcia and her fellow conspirators in and outside the government using the experience and tactics gained abroad to focus their expertise on organizing a color revolution in the U.S.?…

The past few days, I got my hands on thousands of new transcripts and hundreds of recordings, thanks to leads from @SKDoubleDub33 and @iamlisalogan .
You've heard that the DSA is proposing structural reforms to America, including abolishing the Senate and imposing term limits.
What you not have heard is - there is an operational plan to put it all into action. If the Democratic Party sweeps 2026, then DSA will become "foot soldiers" in constant clashes with the administration to cross a "red line" or invoke a "doomsday scenario" - meaning, President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, probably sometime in 2027.
Then, a lot of coordinated responses kick off, including delegitimizing the federal government itself and handing that legitimacy to Democratic governors. 2028 then becomes a vote on whether to keep America governance as-is or to burn it all down to appease a "young and brown" demographic.
The mysterious group who's been coordinating 50501, Indivisible, and coordinating the NoKings protests is called "United Democracy Alliance" and their intellectual leader is Erica Chenoweth who came up with the 3.5% rule of nonviolent regime change.
Patience. I know I've hyped this more than anything else. It's genuinely the biggest discovery I've had. This is an enormous archive. This is only the beginning.

Sad to see yet another year entering fire season. LA had time to prep for this and yet here we are again.
Live view from our sister station KABC of a fire near Malibu in So Cal. Evacuations are under way. Dry & very windy weather fueling the flames, now over 100 acres. Red Flag Warning & Wind Advisory in effect there now. #Brysonfire #fire #CAfire
I also care a lot about speed and ownership in ambiguous environments.
Early-stage product design is rarely requirements → wireframes → polished mocks → handoff.
Product, design, and engineering are often happening almost simultaneously.
I like a collaborative design exercise, but not a take-home assignment.
Give them a realistic problem and work through it together. These can take many forms, so have fun with it.
The point isn’t the final screen. It’s seeing how they think, communicate, and respond as the problem evolves.
The candidate should do a live deep dive into 1-2 projects, I want to understand:
1. Why did you make that decision?
2. What changed along the way?
3. Where were you wrong?
4. What did engineering push back on?
5. What actually shipped?
As a candidate, this is your opportunity to shine. It’s your work and your story!
Given the recent blowup around design hiring, I wanted to share how I think about it after interviewing hundreds of designers.
Pro tip: you don’t need a take-home exercise.
My process is simple: optimize for evidence of taste, judgment, ownership, and how someone actually works.
@zach_yadegari happy to chat if you want to figure out how to run this process properly.
Great example of rage bait. That's the only conclusion I can come to that makes sense here.

Prop 40 // One-Time Wealth Tax for State-Funded Healthcare, Education, and Food Assistance Programs Initiative
No. Well, it’s time to talk about the “wealth tax.” Look, we’re not going to mince words here, if this thing passes it will be the end of our state. The “wealth tax” is our AI apocalypse. This is our Doom.
We’ve been writing about this thing for a year now. A very, very, very long story short: the state’s largest healthcare union wants to launch a new kind of tax, which we have never before seen in the history of this country, which would assess the total net worth of all billionaires in the state, and then seize five percent.
This is not an income tax. This is not a tax on an opt-in purchase of a finite resource (land) used to service that purchase with public resources. This is an inescapable, unavoidable seizing of property unlike anything we have ever seen.
Vote no. Vote no as if your life depended on it. This is not a simple matter of disagreement. If you meet someone in the real world supporting this, they are a bad person. Please tell them.

Let me tell you the end result of these "voluntary islamic patrols":
• Muslim men will learn the movement patterns of Japanese children
• They will stalk and harass underaged girls and boys when there aren't other adults around
• They will attempt to "invite" children to their local mosque to "educate them about islam" (brainwashing)
• They will gain the trust of victims and bring them back to their houses to molest and gangrape them
• They will exploit Japanese high trust society which has yet to experience grooming gangs, and many atrocities will happen in complete silence before the alarm is sounded
• The "success" of this scheme will spread to every community in Japan with a sizeable muslim population
You either shut this down right now, or you will suffer the way 250,000 British girls suffered. Their behaviour is the same in every country. You will not be spared either.
That's a surprise.
A mosque group in Ichikawa has started “street safety patrols” around elementary schools and kindergartens.
They wear fluorescent vests issued by the city and follow routes drawn up by the police.
Earlier this year, the same group was denied permission for group prayer in a public park during Eid.
Now they are volunteering near schools.
I’m sure the timing is pure coincidence.
A number of these are relatively easy to argue in either direction, and are no more complicated than many SAT/other standardized test prompts or many essays one writes in a social science degree.
Given most people have never had to write a thesis I can understand why this would seem difficult, but there is a structure to answering questions like this.
Today I learned about the All Souls examination, which is reputed to be the hardest exam in the world.
To even be considered, you need to have a degree from, or be a current graduate student of Oxford.
Hundreds of people sit and only two people pass every year.
Attached is last year's general exam.
Before I saw it, I wondered, how hard could it be.
Well, it turns out…it's "Defend ghosting.", "Does a pope matter?", and "Is body language a language?" hard:
