President Trump put out a communications blackout and now many Federal agencies are leaking information to the press, just like something Edward Snowden would do. Or is it?
Most of the resistance is coming from agencies with a focus on environmental protection and scientific research. Several federal Twitter accounts have begun posting social media messages, some of them simply facts about climate change. Trump has notably expressed skepticism about climate science.
An example is Badlands National Park’s tweets regarding increasing pollution levels.
PBS calls this a digital insurrection.
