He Will Not Divide us was an art project done by Shia laBeouf following the inauguration of President Donald Trump, in which laBeouf stood in front of a wall at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York, livestreaming himself repeating the phrase "He will not divide us", and others could join with him repeating this phrase, starting January 20, 2017. However, the stream site was popular for trolls and neo-Nazis, one of whom laBeouf punched. He was arrested and thrown out of the museum. Subsequently, the stream moved to the El Rey Theater in Albuquerque. Five days after moving, laBeouf left because a gunshot was heard.

On March 8, 2017 at this location(undisclosed at the time), laBeouf put up a flag with the words HE WILL NOT DIVIDE US on it, and live streamed it, saying it would remain up until the end of Trump's presidency.
4chan's /pol/ discussion board collaborated to locate the flag. They determined by the time of the sunset that it was in the Eastern Time Zone, and matched contrails visible on the stream with flight paths in the Eastern United States as well as constellations visible in the stream to place it in roughly this area. A tweet by a waitress at a diner in this area confirmed that laBeouf was in this area, in addition to reports that he was fly-fishing in this area. A 4chan user from this area honked their car near the flag, and the honks were picked up by the microphone on the camera. All of this happened in 38 hours, and in the early morning of March 10, 2017, they took down the flag, replacing it with a Pepe the Frog shirt and a red "Make America Great Again" hat. The stream was subsequently taken down.
