Story summary

As of October 24, 2026, French activists have called for a second wave of protests, "Acte II," in Paris following initial demonstrations that drew an estimated 500,000 people across France two days prior. These protests are part of a broader movement dubbed "Chaos Inc.", which has grown to encompass 101 groups spanning 13 countries, according to Fox News. Organizers plan over 212 mobilizations in France alone and anticipate further coordinated actions on November 20th, involving youth strikes across Europe. The network includes both adult-led organizations and those led by students or young people, many of which are described as part of a "red-green" alliance merging Islamist groups with far-left, communist, and socialist entities.

🔮 BreakThrough News said protests had spread "from Paris and Madrid to Lisbon and Tirana" and announced that France-based journalist Rafael Karoubi would join hosts Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra to explain "what's driving the uprising." In France, organizers are using the website 17octobregiletjaune.net to organize logistics, communication and people for their protests.
🔮 Standing beside her boyfriend, Noah Schwarzott, 25, their 13-year-old Maltese-poodle, Maybellene, in her arms, Hernandez acknowledged that national No Kings organizers had their own rules for the protests to be "nonpartisan," but she wasn't following orders.
🔮 As the high-level organizers of the "No Kings" demonstrations seek to turn their operation into a nationwide get-out-the-vote rally Saturday, their warning to steer clear of partisan messaging that could violate their own rules is falling on deaf ears.
🔮 It also published a dramatic Instagram video of Bally Bagayoko, the far-left mayor of Saint-Denis and a politician with La France insoumise, sliding in front of students during a confrontation with police.
🔮 Artist Dave Matthews participated in the 2020 "I Will Vote" concert, which his official website promoted as supporting Biden, Harris and Democrats down the ballot.
🔮 The media will tell you that yesterday, terrorists invaded Israel.
🔮 Moolenaar called for "clarification and transparency" regarding the organizations’ finances and questioned whether they should continue receiving tax-exempt status, adding that their political involvement may violate "campaign rules and political rules here in the United States." The significance of the week’s activity is heightened by the scale of Singham’s financial support for the network.
🔮 The group later reposted the notice with an updated location and said the demonstration would continue until 7 p.m. Right about then, the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, an openly Marxist-Leninist group that has sent delegations to support communist regimes in Cuba and Venezuela, and its Austin chapter published its own hyperbolic material about the shooting.
🔮 You knew something was going to happen because, all of a sudden, the phones would come out.
🔮 Congressional scrutiny of foreign influence operations in the United States is widening, with a powerful panel of lawmakers set to hold a hearing next week examining how nonprofits and activist networks serve as potential "Trojan horses" for foreign adversaries.
