6. Not all were Feds. Some were adjacent, or contractors, or previously employed there. Some had zero affiliation, but a desire to disseminate knowledge. 7. In aggregate, nearly 2 million unique accounts followed at least one Alt/Rogue by 2020.

I love y'all but I gotta admit, Rocks, Scales and WASO are always gonna have a special place in my heart cause those are the first ones I found. And I still have a RogueNASA shirt! (it cracked me up that one doof was claiming it was a grift because apparently he thinks you get rich selling tshirts).

Awww! I remember fondly #Alt-Immigration’s snark, and their fight with Gov to remain anonymous; #AltSpaceForce’s humor, and amazing GIF-Game; and who could forget #AltJabroni’s late night antics!! Brooke was a solid voice—speaking Truth to Power! It was awesome when she followed me back!!!!😍

#AltBartender and #AltScales were also part of the late night team with SpaceForce & Jabroni!😂🤣😂. They got a lot of us thru Trump 1.0!!!

Oh gosh, yes! Jabroni! Wasn't he the one who delurked and went to law school? He turned out to be just an awesome human being.

HE IS!!! He was so kind to discuss things worrying me back then, via DM!! I’m guessing all or most of our #ALTS are similarly AWESOME!! Checkout who follows him!!

Us new Alts are trying to live up the legacy that was built. This is something we take seriously and hope to be half as awesome as the 1.0 alts. Hope we can do that for you ❤️

None of us thought there would be a 2.0 so of course people retire, move on etc. The new group of #AltGov is wonderful and many of the OG’s are still around. Thank you for being a part of it and all the explaining and threads y’all do! 💜

No Doubt YOU will! The legacy #ALTS set the bar HIGH! Reason for sharing about 1.0 accts was to help those not tuned-in during 1.0 to see the current #ALTS as TRUSTWORTHY! Thank you for your BRAVE SERVICE! We are ALL so much wiser today, thanks to our #ALTS (& the AWESOME Ms. Binkowski, too!)💖

Truly did set the bar high and for good reason! Thank you for providing context and history! Trying to learn a good gif game through practice and spreading news. The community around is amazing and so fun to interact with.

And the games continue, RIGHT! How’s that?! Matt lives in my County, and I’m not alienating a damn good lawyer as long as this Lawless Administration is still in power—I might need him to help me get out of CECOT! But we can revisit the topic in 2028!!!😘🥰

This is the correct answer. We can’t inflate the spaceman’s ego any more than it already is.

I’ve known Mr Cortez for years (I was accidentally embraced by Alts 1.0 in a twitter dm group) and I can attest to his character (and brilliance).

Plz don’t give him a giant jaboroni head 😂 His swearing in anniversary was this week! #Alts cheered him on that journey & got him his first lawyering briefcase 💼 It’s been an honor knowing #AltGov #Altfam new & old who share a deep love for our democracy & work to keep it Long live #TheResistance

So believe or not, follow or not. Just do what you can to keep and progress the ideals of this nation. Spend that energy to build a better future. We’ve had enough destruction

It was!!! Honestly it was hard to laugh in those days—so it was a sorely needed respite! Little did we know we were just getting started building our muscles to deal with Fascism 2.0!!!

We had more time for the silly stuff then. Endless threads, joking around, getting to 'know' anonymous people on the internet. It is far more serious now.

IIRC, @altmusician.altgov.info was the last alt to join the conversation/group before it became unsafe/unsustainable for the alts to stay on twitter.

I remember talking at one point about creating an Alt because I work for the state but didn't feel safe to do so and both Jabs and Scales were so kind about it, both made a point to tell me we ALL do as we can and it's all worthwhile work. 💙
