After a few months of mostly sticking to banal news updates, the Alt National Park Service is going back to their conspiracy LARPer roots.

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!
Surely a coincidence that this post by the Alt National Park Service is identical to the opening paragraph of this NBC News article by @bengoggin.bsky.social, @danielarkin.bsky.social, and Michael Kosnar. www.nbcnews.com/tech/securit...
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."
You can tell how deeply Alex Pretti's death affected the Alt National Park Service by the way they refer to him as "Alex Pettis."
See if you can spot any similarities between the Alt National Park Service's post and the VERY FIRST SENTENCE of this article by @tonyromm.bsky.social and @anaswanson.bsky.social in the NYT.
I'll probably stop yammering about this Bojack dork soon, because he's a simple, boring engagement farmer that really isn't worth the attention. But I'm honestly impressed with the sheer *laziness* of his grift. This is just @dieworkwear.bsky.social's post, verbatim.
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...
The Alt National Park Service, famously the staunch defender of the rights and dignity of journalists.
The Alt National Park Service has spent months stealing from journalists, directly plagiarizing the work of others more than a hundred times. With more than 4.3 million followers on Facebook and nearly 900k here on Bluesky, they've built a massive following on theft.
Also, I'm sure that lying to your audience about being a "resistance coalition" so that you can print low-effort stickers to sell on your webstore is what John Lewis meant by "good trouble."
This anodyne post about merch did big numbers for AltNPS, and I think there's a simple reason: there's nothing Facebook users love more than being angry at Facebook.

This is a great, real thing. None of that altNPS shit. Spot the differences: real utility, real names, no numbers station secret spy cosplaying, no merch.
This is such incredibly good news. www.npr.org/2026/06/26/n...
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.
A few people pointed this out! Bojack seems to mostly be spreading spurious rumors as an excuse to spam the timeline with links to some app called InteractInk. It's bottom-of-the-barrel spam, but it seems like it's consciously courting liberal outrage as its main vector.
I think this account posts political bullshit to try and get people to join the social media site they're advertising
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?
And not even 48 hours later, AltNPS is selling a sticker of this definitely-original design.
Extremely funny that AltNPS tried for "Legally Distinct Smokey Bear" here, but somehow ended up with Teen Wolf instead.

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.
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.
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.
Also, if you are a member of AltNPS's new web design team, or know someone who is, I'd love to chat! Please contact me here or at altwatcherbsky@gmail.com.
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."
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."
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.
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
