In the first few days of the Donald Trump presidency, National Park Service Twitter accounts have emerged as small but shining spots of hope for the anti-Trump crowd.
Multiple parks accounts have deleted tweets since Trump became president, after having sent tweets into the world that were seemingly against the administration's wishes.
SEE ALSO:The Badlands Twitter account is the ultimate climate rebelThe main park service account retweeted crowd comparisons between former President Barack Obama's 2009 inauguration crowd and the much smaller audience for Trump's inauguration, before deleting the tweets, being temporarily banned from tweeting, and then apologizing.
Then on Tuesday, the account for Badlands National Park began tweeting climate data. The information was simply factual, but Twitter users took it as an act of defiance. That morning, news had broken about gag orders for employees and scientists at the USDA and EPA that prevented members of either agency from discussing their work via documents or social media, despite the obvious violation of ethics policies at those agencies that promote communication with the public.
The account soon deleted the tweets and alleged they had been sent by a "former employee," but Twitter users paid homage anyway with #badasslands.
