Some tweets:
Respect goes out to our brothers and sisters at the @BadlandsNPS. When they silence you, we will speak for you.
Think about what happened for employees at #BadlandsNationalPark to actually DELETE factual tweets on climate change.
Somewhere a call came down the line demanding the account editor remove the tweets. Someone pulled rank and cited President Trump's orders
Shoutout to the anonymous crews at .@BadIandsNPS continuing the great work of the original before Trump's (tiny) hand came down.
Hello, we are the Alternative National Park Service Twitter Account activated in time of war and censorship to ensure fact-based education.
Thank you all for your support. We ask that you call your member of congress & demand the censorship be lifted. http://www.house.gov/representative
Are you a science student? A scientist march on Washington is being planned http://www.scientistsmarchonwashington.com/ @ScienceMarchDC #Climate #ResistTrump
We don't want any trouble. We just want to keep peer-reviewed "factually accurate" climate science flowing out of US institutions.
Did no one tell President Trump about the Streisand Effect? You silence our colleagues officially, and we will scream when we get home.
Perhaps its fate that today you will once again type for our freedom, not from tyranny or persecution -- but from climate change.
We're fighting for our right to live, to exist. To have peer-reviewed science be published by our institutions. #climate #ResistTrump
And should we win the day, the 24th Jan will no longer be known as an American day, but as the day when the world declared in one voice
"We will not go quietly into the night!
We will not vanish without a fight!
We're going to live on!
We'll fight climate change denial"

We will also need to convince the hired thugs that they aren't safe either and they should think before harming us or disrupting our protests... but they won't because they will likely be those blackwater guys instead of national guard.

(26,060 posts)I've asked anyone following me AND my email pals to sign up if they're on twitter.

(81,261 posts)Then I went over and found the @ungaggedEPA and followed that. It was at about 1000 at that moment.
Just a few minutes later I went back over to @AltNatParkSer and just in those few minutes, the likes had increased by another 4,000.
And at that point, I returned to @ungaggedEPA and their 1000 number had almost doubled. It was at 1900-and-some.
This is GREAT! Hopefully there are secondary alternative sites where this info is accessible, in case some nogoodniks in trump's orbit try to take down these early ones. I don't trust trump-&-comp any farther than I can throw my house.

The internet will definitely be next on his list because when Bush took over blogs were just starting and Twitter and FB not until 2004 & 2006.
