What you do when your new boss is a total moron--

work around his ass. Badlands National Parks went rogue yesterday and started to tweet out facts on climate change, until they were made to delete the tweets.

In the face of censorship of real science and news, anonymous employees of the agencies affected by the gag orders have taken to social media to keep the truth in front of the world. I love this. This is what resistance looks like--follow and share!

NASA Climate hasn't stopped tweeting the truth, show them some love too:

If you know of more twitter accounts that are subverting the despotic Trump orders, post them in the thread.

He is 100% SOL on this one if they've got the guts to stand up to him.

What I've done when a psychotic know nothing boss has come in is keep a low profile as I look for another job. That seems to be happening at all levels of government right now, people ditching the now false security of the Civil Service for jobs in the private sector.

Nobody wants to work for an organization with this jackass in charge. Better prepare yourselves for delays in much more than your tax refulds!
