The "Alt National Park Service:" On Plagiarism, Part 1 The first in a three-part series.

The Alt National Park Service has spent months stealing from journalists, directly plagiarizing the work of others more than a hundred times.

With more than 4.3 million followers on Facebook and nearly 900k here on Bluesky, they've built a massive following on theft.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

Federal agents shoot woman they say 'boxed in' authorities on Chicago's South Side Authorities were on patrol when they were "rammed by 10 cars," according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security. One of the drivers "was armed with a semi-automatic weapon," prompting...

The Sun-Times *is reporting these were live rounds* fired at a vehicle.

There's been much confusion in the immediate aftermath of this about whether whether they were that or pepper balls, and whether person in vehicle was hit by them. This is the most current info we have *at this time.*

Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition.

A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.

There's a larger play going on. ICE/slumlord coordinated rousting of tenants, damaging/stealing their stuff, destroying the bldg. so it's uninhabitable--triggering legal emergency evictions, jacked-up insurance claims & sale to developers.

You know who ELSE broke into people’s homes to terrorize them and steal their belongings…

Urgent! Need 800 for medicine today.

Also boycott U-Haul for renting out their vans to these pigs

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

Again We are truly the afflicted, yearning only to survive. If you recognize our right to survive as victims, please spend 50 for my family so we can evacuate befor time runs out. 😩

OMB Director Russ Vought canceled billions in Energy Department funding to 16 states all of which voted for Kamala Harris. This isn't budget cuts, it's partisan punishment. Federal resources weaponized against Americans based on how their state voted. Authoritarianism in plain sight.

The Energy Department canceled billions in funding. Democrats say it's retribution Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought said the funding was for projects in 16 states, all of which voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Jane Goodall’s final, urgent, message "Intelligent creatures don’t destroy their only home.”

Before her death, Jane Goodall left us all with a compelling message from her last interviews: While we’re the most 'intellectual animals' to ever walk the planet, "we’re not intelligent."

“Because intelligent creatures don’t destroy their only home.”

From our friends at @vox.com:

You can't raid and arrest everyone in an entire apartment building, or even legitimately get a warrant to do that, any more than you could for a whole neighborhood. That would be a general warrant. This is the most specific core the-British-did-it-to-us thing the Fourth Amendment is written to ban.

With Chicago in the ICE crosshairs right now, here are some independent and nonprofit media orgs to read, follow and support.

Project Bring Ruaa and Her Family to Safety I'm helping my friend, Ruaa Naji, raise funds to help her family survive.

If you recognize our right to survive as victims, please spend 50 for my family so we can evacuate.

As others have aptly pointed out, we are reminded of Israel's line on Hamas fighters "hiding" among Palestinians. The idea that dozens and dozens of people detained from one apartment building are all gang members is totally batshit.

Yes, it's the same playbook. You are not insane for noticing.

DHS is claiming the South Shore apartment raid was on a "Tren de Aragua hideout." Feds will use whatever personal property they find to bolster this narrative. Those FBI and ATF agents you see in the videos are part of manufacturing that.

Feds detain dozens of immigrants in 'massive' South Shore apartment building raid in Chicago • The TRiiBE An estimated 40 people were taken by federal agents in the course of the overnight raid in the predominately-Black neighborhood.

NEW — An estimated 40 people were taken by federal agents in an overnight raid in South Shore, a predominantly-Black neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side.

A couple who live nearby said they were shocked to see the enormous militarized raid in their community.

Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” Uncertainty reigns as Trump claims China approved TikTok deal.

TikTok owned by Rupert Murdoch and Larry Ellison is going to be wall to wall Trump and Netanyahu apologia, and ethical people still on there should begin contemplating their exit

The deceptive phrase behind Trump's Medicaid purge How the idea of “able-bodied” is abused

For the November/December issue of @motherjones.com, I dove into the history of the word "able-bodied"—including how it's been harmful to disabled Americans since the 1930s and it most certainly will be when Medicaid work reqs come into play again. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Georgia’s Medicaid Work Requirement Program Spent Twice as Much on Administrative Costs as on Health Care, GAO Says Republican lawmakers cite Georgia’s Pathways to Coverage as a national model for federal Medicaid work requirements that are set to take effect in 2027. A new report shows the program has spent at lea...

Sen. Warnock called Georgia’s Medicaid work requirement program “the real waste, fraud, and abuse.”

“This report shows that Pathways is incredibly effective at barring working people from health coverage and making corporate consultants richer.”

That man dying should be the LEAST of yall concerns.

This is NOT over when he is dead. LAWS are being passed. People are being given LIFETIME appointments at his hand. JD Vance has promised to continue his legacy.

Men die. All men die. Ideologies dont. Wake up.

Are there any immigrant long-term care workers who would be willing to speak to me about fears showing up to the work place (anonymously is fine) for an article I'm writing? @juliametraux.bsky.social would you be able to share?
