  • My first question was "what is the Alt National Park Service? ". Here’s the blurb from their front page.

    The Alt National Park Service (AltNPS) was a movement that began around the time of the inauguration of President Donald Trump in January 2017. After the Trump administration imposed restrictions on the communications of various federal agencies, including the National Park Service, unofficial “rogue” or “alternative” social media accounts emerged. These accounts, which included the AltNPS, aimed to communicate scientific facts, environmental concerns, and information about climate change that they felt were being suppressed or underemphasized by the official channels.

    The AltNPS specifically emerged as a response to the Trump administration’s temporary suspension of the National Park Service’s Twitter account after it had retweeted images comparing the crowd size at Trump’s inauguration to that of former President Barack Obama’s.

    While it’s important to note that the AltNPS was not an official branch of the National Park Service, it gained a significant following and served as a platform for discussion on environmental issues, climate change, and the importance of protecting national parks and public lands.

  • So, we’re going to have even more poorly trained ICE officers rounding people up to be sent to concentration camps. People who have no idea how to validate documents. People who don’t understand the different types of legal statuses. People who want nothing more than to round up anyone with brown skin, regardless of their status. People who know that due process is dead because we can’t afford five million trials.

    Ignoring what anyone thinks of undocumented immigrants, people with legal status are going to get caught in this. Some of them are going to go to camps. Some of them are going to be deported. Some of them are going to die. There will be more and more “mistakes” with no attempt at remediation.

    I have no doubt that even citizens are going to die as a consequence of this.
