Keeping an eye on "Alt" US Govt. accounts, and one account in particular. For more of my writing on this subject: https://dispatchesfromtheonlinevoid.wordpress.com/ My main account: @jjoycelynch.bsky.social Visit altnationalparks.com to learn more!

AltNPS constantly steals from journalists, so I made a list of those journalists. Give the list a follow, and you'll have a solid list of real news sources. These writers deserve your attention!

The Alt National Park Service somehow managed to name the wrong Olympic canoeist here, which I guess is impressive. Most people can't name two Olympic canoeists in the first place, let alone mix them up. The correct canoeist is David Hearn, as in the doc AltNPS linked to, titled "HEARN FILING."

Alt National Park Service: A win! It’s already falling apart. A key grand jury witness testified that the area around the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was already damaged and would have needed repairs regardless of the actions allegedly taken by former Olympic canoeist Casey Eichfeld.Alt National Park Service: That testimony could undercut a central part of the government’s case by suggesting the damage wasn’t caused by the defendant in the first place. Facts matter, especially when criminal charges are involved.

[They link to a document called "Hearn filing," where I've highlighted three times the document refers to "Mr. Hearn."]

OHHHH AltNPS, you lying little weasel. AutoMonitor was reported as early as June and some of us (non federal workers even) have known about it as early as May, because we actually keep an eye on these things! It is definitely not "this is just an update" bull. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

To my knowledge, we haven't gotten any "updates" about what the Alt National Park Service plans to do for election security, but we know they won't do anything because they're a t-shirt store, not a spy organization.

Alt National Park Service: There is a lot going on right now, but to sum it up the Trump administration is growing increasingly desperate. They are attempting to control the upcoming midterm elections.

Please know that we will do everything we can to help protect the integrity of our future elections. It’s been a crazy day. More updates to come.

Coming back from a short break to highlight this account, which has just over 50k followers, posts dozens of times a day, and spews a lot of unsourced claims. Which sources said this? To who? In what outlet? Please, sir, could you spare a scrap of evidence?

The Liberal Bojack: So Mitch McConnell died before his staff released the fake picture from the hospital with his wife, according to multiple sources.

Catching up on my backlog. AltNPS was both a MONTH late to this story, AND they linked to ICE's .gov site directly to avoid giving credit to a journalist. It's one of their favorite tricks. Linking directly to govt docs helps AltNPS maintain the fiction that they're "connected" inside the govt.

Alt National Park Service: The Trump administration has found a new way to reduce the number of deaths ICE publicly reports change what gets counted. Under the previous policy, ICE reported deaths that occurred both in custody and shortly after a detainee was released.Alt National Park Service: A person could now be released while gravely ill because of mistreatment, neglect, or inadequate medical care while in the facility and die shortly afterward. That death even though it was caused by ICE would no longer appear in ICE’s public post-release reporting. [They link directly to ICE.gov]

It's been over a year since the Alt National Park Service first mentioned cell-site simulators as a sort of catchall for spooky surveillance tech. Back then, AltNPS used the specter of CSS devices to justify their nonsense "code number" posts.

Alt National Park Service: ICE is rapidly expanding its surveillance capabilities. The agency has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on vehicles equipped to support cell-site simulators, also known as fake cellphone towers.Alt National Park Service: We’re often targeted for the numbers we post online. No, we can’t explain everything—sorry! But here’s what we can tell you: cell-site simulators are real. These devices mimic legitimate cell towers to intercept communications.

It was only a matter of time before ICE killed again, and before AltNPS added fictionalized details to the story because they didn't think it was exciting enough. Rest in peace, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. You should still be here. And your memory should not be exploited like this.

Alt National Park Service: He woke up before sunrise, just like he did every workday. His wife made him breakfast. He kissed her goodbye, grabbed his lunch and work boots, patted his dog, and climbed into the white van he used to take his construction crew to work.

I have a lot to say about AltNPS's new website project, but I'll start by reminding everyone that last year, the Alt National Park Service said they'd launch an "Alt DOGE" website, and then never did. It's been fifteen months since they said they were "working on it."

Alt National Park Service: Thanks to everyone who helped support our new project yesterday to track the transition from DOGE to the National Design Studio. We were able to bring on a team to help develop the site, and it’s already making great progress. We’re hoping to have it live in about a week.Alt National Park Service, March 5th, 2025: We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

Even weirder is that this account's bio on Bluesky links to their Instagram. Their Instagram links to their Threads. Their Threads links to their Twitter. Their Twitter links back to their Instagram. There's no website or other landing page where you can learn more about the acct and who runs it.

I don’t understand why so many people are following and boosting this account. So what if they don’t like Trump? They’re Republican conservatives. They don’t want ANY of the things we want. They still want terrible things for us. They just want it to be done quietly.

The allegations against Platner are also revealing a large subset of people who invoke "AIPAC" as an invincible boogeyman the same way Q followers would with "the Cabal."

Sherrod Brown on Threads: The allegations against Graham Platner are deeply disturbing. He should drop out.

Anonymous commenter: Looking for that AIPAC gravy train huh?Sherrod Brown on Threads: The allegations against Graham Platner are deeply disturbing. He should drop out.

Anonymous commenter: Did @aipac tell you to post this via @senschumer?American Opposition on Threads: We are officially rescinding our endorsement of Graham Platner. Hopefully Maine Democrats can find a candidate worthy of the office. He is clearly not.

Anonymous commenter: How much AIPAC cash you get promised for this?

The cruelty toward victims is awful, and people are finding new and creative ways to victim-blame in the Platner case. "AIPAC did this." "It's a GOP op." "It's obviously planted." Not wanting to admit that Platner was always a walking red flag, people jump to conspiracies.

Aaron Parnas: Everyone from Hasan Piker to Track AIPAC to Chuck Schumer to the Maine Democratic Party have now called on Platner to step aside.

Anonymous commenter: They found a way to get the non AIPAC candidate out of the way. And jumped right on board.Aaron Parnas: Everyone from Hasan Piker to Track AIPAC to Chuck Schumer to the Maine Democratic Party have now called on Platner to step aside.

If you read just a few comments on any article about Graham Platner it should become crystal clear why victims don’t come forward earlier. The level of cruelty people direct at victims is gutting
