I live on @AppleTV and yet I had no idea #pachinko existed when it was first on. Just discovered it, binged every episode of its truly magnificent two seasons, only to discover it wasn’t renewed, leaving all those great characters mid-story. The casting and writing was beyond.
🚨BREAKING: GOP Sen. Lankford just said that the Democrats' demands in the Senate were "absolutely absurd; they asked for things, for instance, like ICE could not be at polling places."
The cat is out of the bag; ICE is coming to the polling locations in Nov.
This is alarming.

This is alarming.
Thomas Massie is sounding the alarm.
Congress is on the brink of passing a liability shield for pesticide companies, like Bayer, who give Americans cancer.
Bayer is a foreign company, but Congress wants to give them total immunity to mass poison Americans with glyphosate.
“This is not to grant farmers’ immunity.”
“This is to grant the corporations immunity.”
“If farmers contract a form of cancer or non-Hodgson’s lymphoma from this chemical, if this makes it into the Farm Bill, you won’t be able to sue for that.”
This liability shield would be a complete betrayal of the MAHA movement.
But House Republicans are on the brink of passing it anyway, and President Trump is urging them to do it.
There is still time to fight back.
We need all hands on deck to stop this.
Here’s how you can take action:
Use the link below for a step-by-step guide to urge Congress to remove Sections 10205, 10206, 10207 and portions of 10201 from the Farm Bill in order to preserve Americans’ right to sue pesticide companies when their products poison us:🧵

NEW: CNN found a Nebraska Democratic Senate candidate attended a GOP training event just months before filing for Senate. The Dem state party calls him a GOP plant to "trick voters" — he tells me he's a "free thinker," but admits voting for Trump.
🚨BREAKING: DHS agents are now illegally arresting U.S. citizens at airports… and trafficking them across state lines.
A 28-year-old U.S. citizen, Sunny Naqvi, was detained by DHS, for 43 hours, after landing at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago.
She wasn’t charged with a crime, and she wasn’t accused of doing anything illegal…
Agents reportedly detained her over what they called a “curious travel history.”
Even though Sunny was born in Illinois…they still disappeared her.
After being held for about 30 hours inside the airport, agents secretly moved Sunny to an ICE detention facility in Broadview, Illinois.
While this was happening, federal agents repeatedly told her family she was NOT in custody, even though her phone location showed she was inside the facility.
Then it gets worse.
According to witnesses, agents asked for Sunny’s phone number so they could “look for her phone.”
Minutes later, the phone was opened, her messages were read, and the device was shut off, cutting off the family’s ability to track her.
After that, agents transported the U.S. citizen across state lines, to another detention facility in Dodge County, Wisconsin.
And then she was eventually released early Saturday morning… in a random state, alone.
Her phone was dead, and she had no transportation.
So, a U.S. citizen detained by the federal government had to hitchhike to a hotel, just to be able to reunite with her family.
And this is what people need to understand…
When federal agents can detain U.S. citizens without charges… lie to families about their custody, search personal phones, and secretly transport people across state lines…
That puts every single American in danger.
Because they can do it to anyone.
@awscloud I canceled my AWS account last year but I cannot get them to stop charging my cc. Anyone w advice? I literally don't have an account. Tried to contact customer support and clearly have gotten NOWHERE with them after months of trying. Anyone else having this experience?
It's not "Israel or Russia" when it comes to Epstein, it's "Israel and Russia." Oligarchs and mafiosos with multiple passports and no loyalty to anything but their crime cult. A capsule history in the excerpt below. You can't ignore Israel in a story involving the Maxwells FFS!
Stephen Miller is the architect of the greatest and most systematic violation of the civil rights and constitutional liberties of Americans in our era.
This country isn’t safe until he’s held accountable and punished to the fullest extent of the law for his crimes.

I’m writing this from Minnesota.
These are just a few things that may not be making the national or international news.
a beloved local donut shop Glam Doll Donuts across the street from where Alex Pretti died turned into a warming house and medic center for protestors building and maintaining the memorial site.
a 70yo independent bookstore owner DreamHaven Books down the street expressed his pain on camera, walked through a tear gas cloud, and his website crashed less than 24 hours later from too much business and donations.
the day after tear gas bombs destroyed a N-Mpls neighborhood sending a 6mo old baby to the hospital, at daybreak, a small church community cleaned up the mess of pepper balls, tear gas containers and trash so the neighbors didn’t have to wake up to the memories.
a local independent journalist Mercado Media pounding the streets everyday reporting things from the ground had a testicle removed and showed up two days later to walk with 75,000+ community members to walk the streets in -20 degree weather.
a local sex-positive adult-store The Smitten Kitten has completely transformed into a donation and distribution center.
a local pizza place Wrecktangle Pizza raised over $83K in less than a few days to support families that are sheltering in place.
tow-truck companies are donating their services to clean up the accidents and abandoned vehicles left by ICE and the city is waiving impound fees.
local multi-faith spiritual leaders are spearheading sit-ins at corporate headquarters such as Target and USBank to have deeper conversations with CEOs and boards of directors about community relief.
social workers are taking in children who came home from school with both their parents “disappeared.”
animal shelters and pet-fostering agencies are rescuing pets left alone for days or weeks after their humans were detained.
every restaurant, church, karate dojo, dance studio, school, barber shop, and other small business has created their own underground grassroots supportive network to protect their neighbors, get people to and from work, and raise funds to pay everyday bills.
women who are moms and work full-time jobs are donning reflective vests in shifts to stand watch at bus stops, city parks, and grocery store parking lots ini sub-zero temps to bear witness before going home to tuck their babies in at night.
the MN National Guard offered donuts, coffee, and hot cocoa to peaceful protesters the day after Alex Pretti died, reminding community that we are all in this together and they are here to keep the peace.
These are just a few examples. Stories like this are happening in the hundreds here, every single day!
Community is EVERYTHING!
This Substack community and the MN-Strong resistance has saved my mental health these last weeks.
Thank you for reading.
Thank you for giving a shit.
I love you.
