Believe in Science? Follow Rogue Twitter Accounts, Join the Scientists' March on Washington!

What started out as a Reddit and Facebook discussion has now blossomed into a full-fledged movement. If you are a scientist, or just believe in empirical science, it's time to get behind the Scientists' March on Washington. In a concerted effort to bolster the wallets of their billionaire buddies to the exclusion of the earth's health and basic reason, Trump's administration is taking every opportunity to get rid of regulations that protect our planet, while denying climate change exists. They've even taken to silencing federal workers who are tweeting out scientific facts that run counter to the GOP's agenda. This has forced several federal agencies to set up rogue Twitter accounts to make sure their voices are heard. Follow these guys immediately if not sooner:

@AltForestServ
@AltNatParkSer
@Alt_NASA
@altUSEPA
@Alt_CDC
@AltHHS
@alt-fda
@Alt_NIH
@altusda
@BadHombreNPS

That's why it's more important than ever to support science, and the people behind it. And in order for scientists to have an impact on our out of control government, they're planning a Scientists' March on Washington in March (exact date is yet to be determined).
