YouTube video by Aden Ng The True Story of AltNPS

Aden Ng has published a deep dive video about AltNPS (& AltYello), the dangers of their money grabs, & how your personal data may be at risk.
With background info from @drsturg.bsky.social book, We Are #AltGov, & current watchdog @altwatcher.bsky.social adding context, this is quite informative.

This video explains why #altgov and #altfam will not sell merch.

@altnps.bsky.social is a scam. They are not a verified Alt.

Be careful who you give your money to.

DC residences try to help each other. It is an assault on a massive scale. They warn one another, but as the night went on the vehicles were everywhere.

Initial vote results for the Ward 8 D.C. Council special election show Trayon White off to an early lead. These are mail ballots received before today. With the vote-splitting going on between the three challengers, it's looking good for White.

Unnecessary and flexing intimidation.

This resonates on many levels.

“We, the unwilling, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.

We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.”

On this date in 2012, we lost the Godfather of Go-Go, Chuck Brown. He was cool, personified. He was the District, personified. He made us feel like bustin' loose. We miss you—and wish you were here—to wind us up, Chuck!

Opinion: Trump is stoking fears about D.C.'s crime but the city is safer than it's been in decades. In the past, fears about crime have produced regressive and punitive policies. Now is the time for D.C. to invest in preventative solutions.

Trump called for taking over D.C. and clearing homeless encampments due to crime, but in an op-ed @eduardorferrer.bsky.social says the city is the safest it's been in decades. Keeping it that way, he adds, requires community-centered solutions, not punitive policies. 51st.news/opinion-trum...

From a Washington, DC resident, now please go and vote NO on cloture and CR.

#truthtopower please share. We need to lift up people’s voices, faces, and stories from their communities. We need to fight back and remember we are part of a community that is large and strong, we can’t let them bully us into silence. EJ staff speak #truthtopower. EJ communities speak #truthtopower
