EXCLUSIVE — DHS Acting General Counsel sent out a memo Wednesday to all Federal Protective Service staff (the sub-agency that guards federal buildings) letting officers know they could take any action necessary "in the vicinity" federal property to protect themselves.

The Handbasket reports:

DHS top lawyer says 'no legal barrier' to actions officers can take to defend federal property

In a memo obtained exclusively by The Handbasket, Federal Protective Service (FPS) officers were given free rein.

Nobody voted for ICE nobody voted for Stephen Miller so he can go shove it

Blue Georgia @bluegeorgia.bsky.social · 4d

Stephen Miller: "Eventually elections don’t carry the day because violence beats votes… When we see a muscular response from the federal government, it’s because we’re not going to let violence beat votes."

Is he implying federal intervention determines political legitimacy, not ballots or courts?

looking into the article, important part to it is this was initiated by italian unions, making it possible to organize such action at all. which reinforces for what and why such union restrictions exist in america. keeping labor down doesn't just generate wealth, it also suppresses other movements.

My kids school doesn’t do “gifted programs” each kids work is tailored to how successful they are. My first grader is already being prepped for 2nd grade work according to her teacher because she’s doing so well. But she gets to stay in her classroom with her her friends and do group work with them

My wife is an elementary gifted ed specialist. The idea that gifted kids either don't exist or don't benefit from gifted education services is both wrong and harmful to those kids. Phasing out gifted programs is stupid. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/n...

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

And ice currently has approximately 20,000 enforcement officers they’re not for enforcing immigration laws they’re for terrorizing and threatening immigrants

Infantinoduck @infantinoduck.bsky.social · 11d

They didn’t one was administrative and used to facilitate immigration and naturalization the other was created to enforce immigration laws aka crack down on illegal aliens.

Your last statement is just inflammatory and racist and not based on factual reality but political fear mongering do better
