It's finally up! Time to talk about the last three months of plagiarism and deflection by the Alt National Park Service.

tl;dr AltNPS is flailing desperately for ways to cling to their manufactured image as a government insider, in ways that show that they're in too deep to change.

The "Alt National Park Service:" On Plagiarism, Part 4

A series of pivots, and a glimpse at the future.

Monstrous.

"federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning."

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball

Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

The ICE stories in this Reddit thread should shake every American, regardless of party, to their core. We no longer have a Constitution. This is fascism, pure and simple.

Pointing this out is now a deportable offense though.

A screenshot of an X.com post by @dieworkwear
, derek guy, posted 9 hours ago, stating, "this is the jacket's breast pocket's lining pulled up to make it look like a pocket square," accompanied by two images. The left image shows a man in a suit, identified as Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff, speaking on a Fox News segment titled "On Violence Against ICE Agents" with locations Phoenix and San Diego listed. The right image is a close-up of the man's jacket breast pocket, revealing the lining pulled up to resemble a pocket square.

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him.

Plenary authority is limitless power for all practical purposes. Often welded by Emperors, dictators and other such maggots.

No CNN pushback and Nosferatu glitches out as if communicating with the mothership and CNN apologies to him—still no questions, nothing. 😡

CNN edited this out on YT.

Shame

Headlines say Pam Bondi "testified." I don't think she testified. I think she cunted. A verb she invented for me today.

The subhed here is a master class in corporate journalism rewarding malfeasance via semantics

Bondi didn't valiantly fend something off, she refused to answer legitimate questions before Congress because the answers would be horrifying and politically inconvenient

And that's a profile in cowardice

Pam Bondi wasn't going to answer any questions today. We all knew that in advance. People can watch the hearing if they want to, but the idea that this is an Attorney General testifying before Congress is laughable. This is just a Trump personal lawyer putting on a performance for her client on TV.

BONDI: Sen. Durbin, I find it very interesting that you refused repeated Republican requests to release the Epstein flight logs in 2023 and 2024. Did you take money from Reid Hoffman?

DURBIN: I did not refuse

It should be very very clear to everyone right now that the Attorney General was asked under oath if she possesses pics of the President with undressed teens and she refused to say “no.”

The image they shared showed riot police and a crowd with flares and red smoke, designed to support Trump's claim that Portland's protests were out of control, but was actually a digital composite of two unrelated photographs from different South American countries.
