This is an actual story on an official government website with a 14-word headline starting with "we must secure". This is not an accident. There are actual Nazis-who-call-themselves-Nazis at DHS.https://www.dhs.gov/news/2018/02/15/we-must-secure-border-and-build-wall-make-america-safe-again …

This headline is so terrifying that I called my congressional rep (Pelosi) to ask what they intend to do about it. Clearly they haven't heard about it. Call your rep and make a fuss about this. This is horrifying.

There are 14 points in the article, and the final point contains the number "88" for no good reason -- 88 is also a Nazi dog whistle for "Heil Hitler". https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/88 … There is absolutely no doubt now that this article is intentionally a signal to Nazis.pic.twitter.com/njS5MDMNIr

For those unclear why the number 14 is significant, it is the number of words in a famous white supremacist slogan that also begins with the words "we must secure" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteen_Words …

For those asking: I didn't find this DHS post. It was brought to my attention by a RT of https://twitter.com/CombatCavScout/status/1012363663293009920 … into my stream (I don't recall who RT'd it). Their tweet was a little oblique so I made it more explicit. I don't know how they found the post.

Yeah, one point doesn't have a bullet and is bolded instead. That's not as obvious as the 88. Who uses "88" as an example of a fraction? Why not 100, or 50 or literally any round number?

I wouldn't be too quick to assume on this one. We must secure the border is kind of a common refrain.pic.twitter.com/AtTf1NpJxo
