Government employees -- excellent science professionals dedicated to their work -- are resisting Trump and setting up "rogue" twitter accounts to communicate FACTS to the American people.

In lower-case, you can see what they've done: halfonionlnabag

This, the original account, has 567K followers, as opposed to the 3K of the one you linked to:

https://twitter.com/HalfOnionInABag

Lots of copycat onion accounts out there now.

In these hard times, we need to concentrate our fire and keep our precious bodily fluids pure.

Close an official channel, and unofficial ones **will** replace it. If that channel consists of USB drives passed palm to palm, or densely printed single sheet laser copies or VPN and Linux running on hacked Playstations... the tech is available. It will be put to use.

A voice, once lifted, does not silence easily.
