In the days immediately following President Donald Trump's inauguration,азиатская эротика и порнография when the world was in need of a climate change defender, a few National Park Service Twitter accounts epically rose to the challenge.
The rebellious Badlands National Park Twitter account went rogue in January, fighting the president's climate change denial by sharing environmental facts.
We've now learned that in addition to the positive response on social media, the staff at the national park was flooded with messages of love in the form of handwritten postcards and emails from hundreds of thankful supporters around the country. The emails and postcards were among other documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Here are just a few of the many grateful messages, selected from more than 800 included in the documents:

Once the outside access to the park's Twitter account became apparent to the park’s employees, they deleted the emails, and eventually provided a report to the National Archives about the incident. The archives is responsible for storing government social media content.
This case differs from the Twitter account of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which also tweeted climate change facts right after the inauguration. In that case, the tweets were authorized based on Park Service guidelines in place at the time.
