The Alt Nat'l Park Service account calls itself the official "resistance" team.... This thread will dive into its activity

The Alt National Park Service account calls itself the official "resistance" team of the US National Park Service. With 887k followers, is one of the biggest accounts on Bluesky. It is the 11 most followed account according to some trackers.

This thread will dive into its activity.

The strangest thing this account does is claim to be communicating in code with its "coalition".

More on the coalition later.

As many have pointed out, these are reminiscent of Q-drops, where secret ambiguous messages are inexplicably released to the public in the age of email. You can read more here: www.bellingcat.com/news/america...

What is this coalition? Here they subtly imply that it might be made up of 100,000 federal employees. They also claim that their movement started as Park Rangers.

Looking through the comments, someone brought up Louise Mensch! Lol, that brought up memories!


This comment is on point :

Be just a little bit rigorous about where you get your information, please? Look at the state the US is in because people don’t have any media literacy and accept spoon-fed lies, and try to have a higher personal standard

People on Bluesky are even going after Rachel Maddow for not going with the Alt NPS numbers.





There is more and more pushback, though.

We raked them over the coals for qanon stuff and this is basically the same thing but without the batshit crazy element.

I block all video "news and opinion" too... cable television, broadcast, streaming, all of it.

There's only so much noise I can deal with.

Who the hell are any of these people, Hypoautonomic, BS included???
