We Are #Altgov

Social Media Resistance from the Inside

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Experiencing firsthand President Trump's disregard for truth, rogue government employees took to social media with anonymized outrage, fact-checking, and a call to action. The #ALTGOV Twitter movement subverted official statements to remind Americans that all was not well in the White House but that there was something they could do about it.
