Place them on "restricted," unfollow them and don't mention them on any kind of social media.
Also, the above advice is true. Admin (Principal and Assistant Principal) do not want to deal with the drama. If everyone else in the team is getting along, and they *all* say that you are the problem, you can't win this. The other members are intimidated by your experience, most likely feel that you "want to run it" and will not be receptive as a group.
Offer ideas or advice in a quiet manner. Develop one-on-one relationships with a couple of your teammates that are more receptive to you. Do things in your classroom that you know are best practices. Afterwards, when analyzing data, you can share like this: I tried something different the other day, just to see if it would work, and I was really excited about how it turned out. Can I show you?
If they say no, they have no interest in hearing about it, don't sweat it. Just document that you offered. If your students make more progress by the end of the year than theirs, you don't want them to claim that you kept all the good ideas to yourself and woudn't share (making you look ike the bad guy).
Unfortunately, sometimes teachers can be bitchy, involved in drama, and not work in the best interests of students. Just tune it out. If you need to, keep in mind that Employee Relations can possibly be of assistance if things get worse.
