Jan 25, 2017 11:56 PM CUT After the Badlands National Park Twitter account [went rogue](http://time.com/4645927/badlands-national-park-climate-change-tweets/ "undefined") on Tuesday by posting — and then deleting — several climate change facts that may [contradict](http://time.com/4581681/donald-trump-climate-change-nasa/ "undefined") the beliefs of President Donald Trump’s administration, other Twitter accounts associated with National Parks Service appeared to join in the resistance. A person behind the Twitter account at Death Valley National Park shared a photo of a Japanese-American man interned at Death Valley during World War II. > [](https://twitter.com/DeathValleyNPS/status/824293528264118272) According to another tweet, Death Valley hosted 65 internees during World War II. > [](https://twitter.com/DeathValleyNPS/status/824273025285705730) And the official account for Redwood National and State Parks tweeted about climate change on Wednesday. > [](https://twitter.com/RedwoodNPS/status/824311863362011136) The tweets do not explicitly call out Trump for his stances on [climate change](http://time.com/4637017/ryan-zinke-climate-change-confirmation-hearing/ "undefined") and new proposals for restricting primarily [Muslim immigrants](http://time.com/4648516/donald-trump-immigration-executive-orders/ "undefined") from the U.S. But they’re not shying away from posting facts. The White House on Wednesday announced a mandate saying that studies or data from the Environmental Protection Agency must be [reviewed by political appointees](http://time.com/4649472/donald-trump-epa-study-restrictions/?xid=homepage "undefined") before being released to the public. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Wednesday denied that the Trump administration ordered [Badlands National Park](http://time.com/4645927/badlands-national-park-climate-change-tweets/ "undefined") take down the tweets, although the official account went viral following stop-and-start [“gag orders”](http://time.com/4648607/nps-national-park-service-twitter-donald-trump/ "undefined") from Trump on the Twitter accounts of National Parks. An unofficial Twitter account for NPS, [“AltUSNatParkService,”](https://twitter.com/AltNatParkSer "undefined") popped up Tuesday night, quickly amassing nearly 700,000 followers. Billing itself the unofficial “Resistance” team of the NPS, the account has tweeted several [climate change facts](http://time.com/4648607/nps-national-park-service-twitter-donald-trump/ "undefined") and calls for recognizing scientific claims. > [](https://twitter.com/AltNatParkSer/status/824103512116183040) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4649608/national-parks-climate-change-donald-trump-tweets/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4649608/national-parks-climate-change-donald-trump-tweets/"},"headline":"Two More National Parks Appear to Defy Donald Trump on Twitter","datePublished":"2017-01-25T23:56:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T02:57:03.276Z","description":"Other Twitter accounts associated with National Parks Service appear to have joined in the resistance","url":"https://time.com/4649608/national-parks-climate-change-donald-trump-tweets/","keywords":["climate change","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt148581956c48b64c/6988b74ecf40a82741c46355/death-valley-tweet.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Mahita Gajanan","jobTitle":"Gajanan is an editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/mahita-gajanan/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt148581956c48b64c/6988b74ecf40a82741c46355/death-valley-tweet.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Death Valley","caption":"Death Valley","creditText":"Robert Alexander—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/climate-change/","name":"climate change"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4649608/national-parks-climate-change-donald-trump-tweets/","name":"Two More National Parks Appear to Defy Donald Trump on Twitter"}}]}] ```
