    How does one complain/speak out against shit like this?

    Call and email your representatives in DC
    Also join every march/protest you can. Protest does actually still work sometimes. The bigger the better.

    The Gold King Mine disaster was actually caused by Obama's EPA and they missed the boat in Flint. American Carnage.

    When you google censorship of the media...

    Censorship is the suppression of free speech, public communication or other information which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, politically incorrect or inconvenient as determined by governments, media outlets, authorities or other groups or institutions.

    C'mon Kat...you've censored far more people then Trump ever has. Sure this is a forum with rules to be enforced but federal agencies (which include national parks) also have rules with respect to communications and federal employees are expected to follow those rules. If employees of these agencies disagree with the politics of their leaders then they can resign. One has a right to free speech but they don't have the right to operate outside the rules of this forum or outside of the rules of their employer.

    And you have the right to leave this board if you don't agree with how the band has been asked it to be run.

    Also, to the federal employees who did those tweets- if you get fired or reassigned, it's your own fault. I don't like Trump or what he did today, but he's your boss.

    Wowee, we'd better get rid of the EPA!
    It's been decades since the Cuyahoga river has caught fire, maybe we can make that happen again by 2020!!

    Seriously, you wacky anti-government folks hanging your hat on the Gold King Mine is just pathetic.

    Sometimes it's well worth it to defy your boss. Thank you to the employees who made a choice to use their voice today. I'm sure they understood the ramifications for their actions.

    Exactly. I wish I had their stones to do what they did knowing they'd lose their job.

    Yup. He can't help himself and still complains about freedom of speech on here. I'm amazed he's still around.

    We obliterate country after country in the name of democracy, then tell those fleeing you're not welcome here! USA! USA! USA!

    U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to sign several executive orders on Wednesday restricting immigration from Syria and six other Middle Eastern or African countries, according to several congressional aides and immigration experts briefed on the matter.

    In addition to Syria, Trump's orders are expected to temporarily restrict access to the United States for most refugees. Another order will block visas from being issued to those from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, said the aides and experts, who asked not to be identified.

    As much as I don't want to perceived as a wingnut, and know we are less than a week into this administration, I somehow can't shake the feeling that this start of an Orwellian prophecy.

    epa ordered into total media blackout.

    This is phenomenal

    https://twitter.com/BadlandsNPS

    What am I supposed to see? Do I need to be signed up to twitter?
    Should be able to see it without. The day Trump shuts down the EPA from saying anything publicly, Badlands National Park starts tweeting about climate change. Coincidence?
    I don't see anything about climate change posted anywhere
    Looks like they were all deleted. They have been screen grabbed as someone else posted. What a fucking bitch, worrying about what a national park is tweeting. Is this real life?

    A lot of effort to hide something that is widely accepted by the world shows how much they know it's true and counter productive to their regressive dirty energy plan.

    I'd like to alter Tool's song, Message to Harry Manback, to Message to Donald Trump. Most applicable line, "Fuck you. Die. Bastard."

    So Trump is going to order a media blackout of the EPA yet blast the media because he hates them and wants to limit their power at the same time?

    Meanwhile, it used to be up to the journalists to expose the scandals of government. that went away with the privatization of media, that power was taken away from them.

    The 6 corps that own the media answers to the big boss, government. He can do that w/ the blackout, and the media has to bend over and take it. Thank god we have social media.
