C11-2: "Rogue" Federal Twitter Accounts

Wynne Davis wrote an article concerning social media in politics on Janurary 27th. The article explains that employees of national parks and services have been creating Twitter accounts since Trump's inauguration. The accounts are claimed to be ran by activists who post comments opposing the Trump administration. People have said that the accounts were made as a result of Trump's gag order on federal agencies and the hiring freeze. Tweets have inspired other scientists and activists to get involved and create a Scientists march on D.C., as well as others to post real facts on climate change and EPA statistics. Trump hasn't responded to any of the tweets, and it was said to be just "fun" that wouldn't be recognized by the government, but it has been an outlet for the public to seek new information on climate change and become aware.
