Government scientists are very worried, apparently with good reason, that their new boss wants to muzzle them. They've just come up with a brilliant strategy to circumvent this attempt at censorship.

All of these accounts are run by non-government employees with no government sponsorship, but government scientists, in their off-hours time, can't be prevented from sending them information. In just a few days, these accounts have over 3.5 million followers, a number that is rising fast. Here's are some of the account with their total followers as of January 29:

This belongs on the domestic page. It is news as much as any other.

There is precisely zero evidence that any of these accounts actually belong to individuals who work at these agencies. In fact the initial posts violating twitter sanction on the real badlands twitter account were attributed to a former employee who not longer was supposed to have access to that account. For all intents and purposes, these accounts must be treated as satire or fake twitter accounts.

When and if the owners of these accounts wish to come forward and openly claim them to prove that they really are members of these organizations then we will reconsider if it is news.

That there is a twitter war is apparent that is what this article is about.

Yes, but the twitter war is between actual government employees and people pretending to be government employees.

You don't know that any more than you know the Trump supporters are really Trump supporters.
Some of the tweets are so positively stupid they could easlily be satire.

Only liberals can choose not to go down the road to widespread, systematic violence.
