After the US National Parks Service Twitter account was banned from tweeting because they posted photographs comparing US President Donald Trump’s inauguration crowd with that of former president Barack Obama, the official Twitter account of the Badlands National Park — a subsidiary of the National Park Service — struck back, defying the new administration by posting a series of tweets on climate change. Although the park removed these tweets and claimed they were posted by a former employee, individuals claiming to be rangers from the National Parks Service have set up “alternative” Twitter accounts to continue “resisting” the new administration, The Guardian reported.
Today, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is higher than at any time in the last 650,000 years. #climate #facts @BadlandsNPS

Can't wait for President Trump to call us FAKE NEWS.

You can take our official twitter, but you'll never take our free time!
These tweets have encouraged people who claim to be employed by other US agencies to use Twitter to get their message out. More than 20 “ alternative” Twitter accounts have been set up, CNET reported, including the @RogueNASA Twitter account, which describes itself as Nasa’s unofficial “Resistance” team (in perhaps a nod to Star Wars: The Force Awakens).
Science is not a partisan issue. Science is the foundation of our society—we owe so much to peer-reviewed scientific research. #resist
