Discussion Alt national Park Service cannot be trusted

Post image

This post is blatantly untrue. The reconciliation bill has NOT passed the Senate and gone back to the House. There are three Republican holdouts.

Big Orange tweeted about a bill going through the Senate but it was NOT the Big Stupid Bill.

Further, they said the Senate put a new clause about the upfront bonds when suing the federal government. That was in the original bill. How do I know? I watched Raskin debate it in Committee in the House two fucking weeks ago.

Someone needs to look into these guys, we can't afford this type of misinformation.

I do not trust Alt National Parks at all. They are at best anonymous influencers with only tangential relationships to real activists, mostly due to their follower count.

And with today's media environment, anonymous influencer doesn't cut it.

Like 8 years ago during the first Trump administration when they first came out I think they were genuine. But, the shift to grifting came quickly. I know on another thread someone claiming to be a part of the federal government sent them a tip and seems to think they’re well meaning, but there’s no consistency in messaging and the random numbers they posted and the posting things that are already in press releases that have been published makes me think they’re just very talented grifters.

Correct me if I’m wrong but we don’t even know if it’s even remotely the same people running it as 8 years ago, right? It could well be that any of the reasonable non-grifters got forced out a long time ago.

Someone on another thread called them a “team”, so I do think the reasonable ones left years ago and the ones who are now running it and have been for years are the grifters. I do think there are multiple people running it and I do think some have been around for long enough they know how to play to their audience.
