The capital letters imply "1488" and the post is 14 words long, both of which are well-known nazi dog whistles.

Huh, that could be it:

The year 1884 is significant as it marks the birth of Anton Drexler, a German far-right politician who founded the German Workers' Party, which later became the Nazi Party. Drexler played a crucial role in the early development of Nazi ideology and mentored Adolf Hitler.

Yeah,

14 words in the post, an allusion to a notorious Nazi formula
1884, birth year of Anton Drexler, a far-right politician who founded what later became the Nazi Party
1488 and 88, notorious Hitler-related numerology
Painting showing Manifest Destiny and a bunch of other white people chasing Native Americans into darkness

I think we can safely conclude that Homeland Security are deliberately sending Nazi dogwhistles on their social media.
