A DHS board tasked to combat disinformation is taken down by disinformation. The former head was doxed and threatened online. @wiczipedia tells @shannonpareil that the gov doesn't know "what to do when employees are slandered "and the subject of harassment and death threats." "It's made me a lot less optimistic about the American response to disinformation. I don't think that dooms us but I think this needs to be a wake up call that things aren't getting better in this country by ignoring them."

Good afternoon! Waiting @DFWAirport as the @TSA fills out their paperwork on me and what I look like. My build is the same as it was three days ago as are my shoes. But today my jacket is a blue jean. A thread below on what’s been happening. This started in 2018 after a girls trip to #Tulum. I was pulled out of line by @cbp. My bags were searched, I was asked if I support terrorist organizations and I was asked for the names, numbers and addresses of my family members and in-laws. I was asked other things as well.
