The ones ones on this pack are all vetted. I've confirmed their vetting process is legit. But, unlike AltNPS, they are individual accounts, meaning they have their own posting voice - not rammed through marketing filter. They won't all post "nicely", basically, but their information is solid.

As AltNPS's second biggest hater, I'm going to clarify that not all AltGov accounts are grfters. In fact, not only are most legit, I'd go so far to say their incredible legacy of real, recorded resistance and even lifesaving work, is being destroyed by AltNPS.

The altnps account is the 13th most followed account on Bluesky and has more followers than every single news outlet other than the NYT, NPR and Meidas Touch on here. They actively spread misinformation and exploit gullible old people for cash. Accounts this unethical do not deserve to exist.
Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post.

A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.

Feels like society’s really broken down in the US in a way that’s deeply traumatic.

But also there are college students knocking on doors asking for shovels (they’re not well-prepared) and helping trapped motorists by shoveling and pushing out cars. Up to 24 of them now, wandering streets together

I can all but guarantee that Tim knows he’s torching his reputation in the eyes of history and considers himself a willing sin-eater in the service of Apple’s work. He sleeps soundly thinking of people with Apple Watches and AFIB. But he has woefully miscalculated the ramifications of his tradeoff.
Here's Apple CEO Tim Cook hanging out with disgraced sex pest Brett Ratner at the Fascist Dementia Pedophile's party for the movie they collaborated on as part of a straightforward bribery campaign to cover up said dying pedophile's sex crimes and ongoing coup of the United States

This is a turning point. Nobody wants what we’re seeing in Minnesota.

Speak up. In your workplace, in your community, in any forum you have.

Just emailing friends and coworkers and saying this is wrong is a powerful act. Expressing yourself to others. That is democracy.

Just don’t be silent.

Woof. I’d say the #Jaguars would have smoked Denver again in this game if they didn’t have to play superhuman Josh Allen, but the snow is so bad, I’m not sure anymore. Pats got lucky they could get a FG from 10 yards out, and that Bo Nix blew his leg out.

Again, I know it’s persnickety, but I want to emphasize that Alex Pretti was not “showing up at a protest,” he was driving around the city as part of a community-led first responder network. He was likely carrying a gun the same reason anyone does: he felt like he might encounter an unsafe situation
The party that has spent unlimited resources and energy getting states to pass laws to allow citizens to openly carry loaded weapons anywhere - now believes that exercising this right is permission for law enforcement to murder you.

Honestly, how dumb do they think we are?

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.
We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

Don’t play the game, NBA. Shut it all down. General strike now.
The National Basketball Players Association has released a statement on the killings in Minneapolis:

“Following the news of yet another fatal shooting in Minneapolis, a city that has been on the forefront of fight against injustices, NBA players can no longer remain silent”

Pick.
A.
Side.

If you turn away from what's happening and have ANY political power, you've made your choice.

You're supporting the killing and kidnapping of innocent people.

And people around the US -- and the world -- are bearing witness.
Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

This is absolutely true. There’s a massive infrastructure here, tens of thousands of quiet heroes. A thousand Alex Prettis patrolling every day, sometimes without incident, all knowing that at any moment something horrible could happen. Countless neighbors feeding their neighbors
The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.
