DAILY MEMO: The Escalation Continues Before Christmas as ICE, HSI, and Border Patrol Set Record Raids Again This Week

1. The federal government has just attempted to enact a national trans youth care ban. A new HHS rule would shutter most gender-affirming care for trans youth nationwide. It violates multiple laws and the constitution, and will likely go into effect in a few months. Our latest story here:

Visiting US, prime minister calls for urgent move to second phase as winter storms worsen humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Early Access and the way they managed their community across all their updates helped humanize that team in ways that only helped Baldur’s Gate 3, weird for the studio to be so willing to throw all that goodwill away.

Inks done ✅🌹 #Digimon

Trump has long obsessed over the “threat” that antifa poses to the U.S.

Drug warriors sprayed millions of acres in Colombia with a super concentrated Roundup formulation in a futile attempt to destroy coca bushes. I can’t count the number of devastated farms I visited. They devastated food crops, environment, and the people.

Incarcerated members of the LGBTQ community already face heightened risks for physical and sexual violence, and this directive to disregard the law will only put them further at risk. Human rights don't end at the prison walls.

Children born in the U.S. are being used as pawns to further President Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda. We’re fighting back at the Supreme Court.

When the moonlight leaves the lake, she will be a swan once more. 🦢

Do you have a favorite #Digimon? 🤔 Charms coming soon!

The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical. They're AI-generating the music here. Fuck that.

to keep functioning society must discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

But pardons for pedophiles, rapists, thieves, Al-Qaeda financiers, and everyone who violently tried to overthrow the government and destroyed tens of millions of dollars of federal property

Today's weapon of choice: the crossbow! You have a lot of options on how to use this one, and it flows nicely with the other weapons! Game's name: Alabaster Dawn #alabasterdawn #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #indiedev

No genAI at Kaizen Game Works either, in Promise Mascot Agency or Paradise Killer. All pure, human nonsense and love.

Hello, not only do we not use AI we would rather cut off our own arms than do so. Demonschool is 100% human made.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

My boy Garurumon! 🐺💙 #digimon

A father, his 1-year-old daughter and other family members were pepper-sprayed by ICE agents when they were going grocery shopping in a Chicago suburb last week, the family and supporters said.

President Trump's anti-trans passport policy is about the government trying to police who we are and how we live. Having accurate identification is essential for trans people to live and travel without fear of harassment or discrimination.

Food prices are up. SNAP is being held hostage. Millions of government workers are going on 6 weeks without pay. Unemployment has been rising and as of August more than 7 million Americans were unemployed. And the minimum wage hasn’t increased since 2009, when a dollar was worth >50% more than today

"SLOPPER" I'm losing my mind

You have the right to remain silent — ask for a lawyer if ICE approaches you. For more information and to watch the video in other languages, visit https://wehaverights.us Credits: Brooklyn Defender Services, Media Tank, Variant Strategies, Zealous

🚨🚨🚨LOS ANGELES- This is a call for ALL HANDS ON DECK! Organize your neighborhood, patrol your block, & defend your neighbors! Feds are targeting LA more aggressively than ever. THREAD with updates from @latenantsunion.bsky.social on feds escalating + changing tactics & how we fight back:

WARNING: The violence and cruelty is hard to watch, but impossible for families to endure.   This is a sickening example of Trump and ICE's blatant disregard for humanity as they terrorize our families and communities.   It is shameful, cruel, and it must end.
