Friends don't let friends follow Alt National Park Service. This is so weird and inappropriate!!!

This one is personal to me. AltNPS posted, so far only on Facebook, an extended piece of manipulative fanfiction about the recent abduction of a woman at a Chicago daycare center by ICE agents. The video, which you've likely already seen, is horrific. bsky.app/profile/unra...

Am I missing something here? I can't find any current news about the House cancelling votes for next week. The closest I got is this, from three weeks ago: news.bgov.com/bloomberg-go... Happy to be corrected, but is AltNPS literally just making this up?

I'm sure this is just referring to the wave of Democratic wins last night, but it's a little too close for comfort to the style of "code" posting that AltNPS used for months.

I suspect, but can't prove, that AltNPS isn't an avid follower of the National Association of the Deaf. But given they've stolen from Politico twelve times, I imagine they could have found this information there (the NAD is mentioned by name in the article). www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Genuinely happy to see Spanberger take home the win in Virginia, but also, this happened 35 minutes ago per Julia Manchester at The Hill. I wish AltNPS, the ostensible "coalition leader," would bother to provide actual news links to their followers! thehill.com/homenews/cam...

Aden comes in clutch once again! If their previous effort at crowdsourcing "reports" is any indication, I wouldn't trust AltNPS with any reporting around today's elections, either.

On Facebook, AltNPS is asking for "news, incidents, or updates" on various election day events across the country, and point to an email address: [email protected]. This is new to me; I don't remember seeing that address before, or seeing AltNPS try to become a tip line.

@nateraymond.bsky.social at Reuters reported on this at 12:49 PM CST today. AltNPS waited eleven minutes before reposting it without giving him, or anyone, credit. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

More "reports!" This one is from Doug Brown at Signal Akron. I wish AltNPS would just link to these local outlets instead of rephrasing their work and claiming it for themselves. signalakron.org/2025-novembe...

This one's weird. Cumberland County does lean strongly blue, but every source I can find indicates that these "reports" are coming from right-wing activist Scott Presler, who was railing about this affecting *RED* districts of that blue county. AltNPS implies that this is targeting BLUE voters.

God, AltNPS just keeps going. This could easily have also been taken from Reddit, but Jane C. Timm at NBC News also reported on this on Oct. 10th. Hard to tell where AltNPS got it from. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

"Reports are coming in." These reports "came in" weeks ago, to the Bucks County Beacon and other Pennsylvania outlets like PhillyBurbs.com. Not today, and not to the Alt National Park Service. buckscountybeacon.com/2025/10/misl...

AltNPS's Election Day tweetstorm continues. To be fair, AltNPS linked to this CBS article when they posted about this issue. But to be balanced, they sure didn't link to it today, or to any source at all! www.cbsnews.com/news/justice...

If by "we're getting multiple reports" you mean "we saw it on Reddit," then sure, you're "getting multiple reports." I have a feeling AltNPS is going to be very busy today, and I guess that means I will too.

This was reported by Tony Romm in the New York Times on 11/3/25 at 11:30 AM CDT, three hours before AltNPS reposted it without attribution. This is now the thirteenth time that AltNPS has taken from the New York Times specifically.

I know AltNPS has no control over what their followers say, but guys, come on. We need to be better than "haha woman have boobies and OnlyFans." I usually just post about AltNPS themselves, but this just sucks to see. It's easy to dunk on Boebert without also denigrating sex workers.

I've been dreading trying to break down this excessively long post from AltNPS, and I'll admit that I've been putting it off. Props to Aden for identifying these discrepancies!

It was great chatting with Aden! Give this a listen if you want to hear our whole conversation, or if you want to hear me completely derail the recording when I got spooked by a spider crawling across my desk.

Here's another example of a clever AltNPS plagiarism tactic (discovered by @ywfyf.com), and one of my favorites: cite one source, but steal from another. AltNPS links to Reuters here, but their post is almost identical to @by-cjewett.bsky.social's writing in the New York Times.

A few things. First, I obviously agree that this is racist, and Lauren Boebert is a scumbag. AltNPS is right on that front. But also, this was reported in the Hindustan Times on 11/1/25, which cites Colorado X user Mike4Colorado as the source of the image: www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/u...

Here's a fun game: see if you can spot any similarities between AltNPS's post and this article by Stephen Prager from six hours ago. truthout.org/articles/tru...

Hi everybody, it had been a while since I updated the AltNPS Tracking Doc, and there's plenty of new faces around here who might not have seen it (thank you for 3k!). This is where I keep track of absolutely everything, from the "Numbers" posts to the nearly 150 instances of plagiarism by AltNPS.

"The palace" "Honours" AltNPS is really not beating the "these people might actually be British" allegations

This was reported by @chularadio.bsky.social at L.A. Taco on 10/30/25 at 3:50 PM CDT, 24 hours before AltNPS reposted it without attribution. Although AltNPS probably saw it in NBC News, which cited L.A. Taco six hours before AltNPS posted. lataco.com/federal-immi...

If you're not on Facebook, good! Keep it up! But if you only see AltNPS here on Bluesky, you're not getting the full picture. On Facebook, AltNPS has been touting their new hoodies for the last month or so. But here on Bluesky, you'd never even know.

AltNPS is correct: this is, in fact, a leaked document. The part they leave out is that it was leaked to @aglantz.bsky.social at The Guardian, yesterday. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Very frustrating to see the official account of a House Democrats committee uncritically reposting a serial plagiarist and conspiracy-baiting account like AltNPS. And it's their pinned post!

You made this same joke last week, you hacks. Also, Cuomo has been saying this since July. nypost.com/2025/07/19/u...

I really want to stress that this is AltNPS, who regularly steals other people's work, citing Some Guy On Twitter, who it turns out is also stealing someone else's work. And then they BOTH misrepresent the story and leave out the actual author. Absolute cinema.

In a truly insane layer cake of misinformation, AltNPS claims a "leaked" memo from CPAC shows a planned event for a third Trump term. Except this memo wasn't "leaked," it was openly handed out at CPAC to @gabydvj.bsky.social eight months ago, and it SAYS FEB. 2025 IN THE PICTURE.

A new twist to AltNPS's post about cell-site simulators: there's an extended version that they only posted to Facebook, and which really leans into the LARP. It also leans into not knowing or caring how this tech works. CSS devices don't care if you're an "everyday person" or a "coalition member."

Deja vu all over again. AltNPS made this exact same claim about cell-site simulators back in April, and it was the focus of my second article: substack.com/home/post/p-... A lot of that article applies to this post as well, so a very quick thread🧵:

Thank you to @chrismacandcheese.bsky.social for the tag! This one is weird. They posted about this letter already, but didn't give credit. So now either they're looking for a do-over (without actually apologizing), or they're trying to squeeze a second post's worth of engagement out of one letter.

Double checking: is this another reference to a musical, OR is AltNPS just being cryptic again, OR did AltNPS just think of two words that rhymed?

While I'm glad to see AltNPS finally, finally, FINALLY using their massive platform to get eyes on street-level charities and mutual aid, I have a sneaking suspicion that they're only doing this because @altstategov.altgov.info called them on it.

There's very little of AltNPS's thread about the National Parks that doesn't come directly from the CPANP's letter to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, which I encourage you to read for yourself. Let's look at some examples. First: trash piling, bathrooms overflowing, trails deteriorating.

On one hand, it's good to see the Alt National Park Service occasionally mention the National Park Service. On the other hand, the "group of former superintendents" has a name: they're the Coalition to Protect America's National Parks, which AltNPS didn't mention: protectnps.org/2025/10/23/p...

This was reported by @yachnin.bsky.social, Scott Streater, and @kevinbogardus.bsky.social in E&E News (by Politico) on 10/20/25 at 12:46 PM CDT, 31 hours before AltNPS reposted it without attribution. www.eenews.net/articles/int...

Thank you! Here's my ignorance about musicals coming back to bite me. So it's less bizarre than I thought initially, but it's a good example of AltNPS's inescapable dorkiness. Between this and the constant Star Wars references, I'm getting a better picture of the person behind the post.

Also, they should be ashamed for not noting that feds are already going to food banks. Not "soon going to," but already forced to do so. Lazy fucking grifting off the large amount of human tragedy of the whole situation. This was published yesterday. www.cnn.com/2025/10/21/p...

I'm genuinely not sure what "his pervious [sic] quote" is referring to. If I REALLY reach, AltNPS could maybe be talking about Trump calling previous shutdowns "failed leadership" when it was convenient for him, but that's really, really not clear from the writing.

This was reported by Devlin Barrett and @tylerpager.bsky.social at the New York Times on 10/21/25, one day before AltNPS reposted it without attribution. This is now the FOURTH time AltNPS has taken their info from Devlin Barrett specifically. What an honor! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

"The problem with AltNPS and other unverified Alts like them is not that they are scams. It's that they are selling you shovels on a cliff edge and telling you to dig to reach salvation, all the while reducing the reputation of the people who are actually trying to save you from falling off."

AltNPS posted a LOT this weekend, so I'm still catching up with their activity. This was reported by Amber Coakley at KSWB San Diego on 10/18/25 at 4:38 PM CDT, six hours before AltNPS reposted it without attribution. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Once again, for some, there can be no genuine criticism of AltNPS. If someone is criticizing AltNPS, they MUST be MAGA. It's not the first time I've been accused of being MAGA, and I'm sure it won't be the last. But I think it's the first time someone actually tattled on me to the teacher lol

Aden Ng has published a deep dive video about AltNPS (& AltYello), the dangers of their money grabs, & how your personal data may be at risk. With background info from @drsturg.bsky.social book, We Are #AltGov, & current watchdog @altwatcher.bsky.social adding context, this is quite informative.

If you want a deep dive into the background and operations of the Alt National Park Service, I highly recommend this banger of a video by @adenng.com. And Aden did what I couldn't: he found AltNPS's likely t-shirt distributor, and got us a much better idea of how much money the account is making.

"""Confirmed.""" Data journalist G. Elliott Morris, in partnership with Atlanta-based science newsroom The Xylom, gives a median estimate of 5.2 million, with 8.2 million as the upper boundary. Importantly, unlike AltNPS, Morris shows his work: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

I can be cranky about AltNPS, and I'm not looking forward to their probably inflated numbers for today's protests. But I'm still glad that despite everything, my countrymen are showing up when it matters. So from me and my beautiful wife, Happy No Kings Day, everyone. I'm glad to be here with you.
