@DHSGov account says "Ratio." They are QTing a post that I wrote (next picture reproduces in full) asking, with a fair amount of snark, why DHS was blaming Governor Pritzker for the Hanover Park PD having hiring someone who allegedly was a visa overstay.  They post two headlines about an Illinois law which authorized noncitizens with valid work authorization to become cops.

The post that set this off, in which I too was QTing the DHS account. The DHS post about the Hanover Park PD incident reads as follows: ".
@GovPritzker
 doesn’t just allow illegal aliens to terrorize Illinois’s communities, he allows them to work as sworn police officers.

Radule Bojovic overstayed a B2 tourist visa that required him to depart the U.S. on March 31, 2015. Over a decade later, he was still illegally in the U.S. working as a police officer for the Hanover Park Police Department earning a salary of $78,955.

Criminal illegal aliens have NO PLACE in our communities, especially on our police forces."

My QT response to this was: "What the heck does Governor Pritzker have to do with a local police department hiring decision?

Do the people running @DHSgov not even know the basics about how state governments work?"

Excited to inform you all that the Department of Homeland Security is currently attempting to ratio me (and failing, as of more than two hours later).

With a heavy sigh, I repeat: bring back professionalism. For the love of god. You're running comms for the government of the USA. Act like it.

Turning Point USA hit Virginia Tech, where Megyn Kelly clashed with a student over political violence. Bold move to deny gun violence on the site of one of the deadliest school shootings in US history.

Trump’s Corruption Gives Democrats A Shot At A Unifying Message Progressives and moderates alike are signing on to a new pledge to β€œunrig” Washington.

The American people are sick and tired of the corruption in Trump and the GOP's Washington while they struggle to make ends meet.

@endcitizensunited.bsky.social's new Unrig Washington campaign will show the American people that Democrats are the party of reform.

Gov Gavin Newsom (D-CA) at news conference now:

"People are scared. People are fearful. A United States Senator was thrown to the ground in a federal building....

Wake up, America. This is a serious moment. Wake up to what's going on"

Reminder: autism is a disability.
If that bothers you and you want to argue, take a moment to consider why you find it upsetting.

What accommodations do you have that allow you that privilege?

What's so bad about being disabled?

Why would you deny the difficulties so many autistic people face?
