Filibuster helps Rs more than Ds. The point is that Ds are party of the governing, and they need a working Congress to govern. Rs are party of the destruction of the government, they like it when Congress doesn't work. Filibuster hampers governing, so more often than not it helps Rs.

A resident of a nearby building asks a very important question:

“You claim you have warrants, but do you have a warrant to seize the entire building?” she asked the agents. “Do you have warrants to detain the entire building?”

Or: do people lose their rights if they live near undocumented people?

There’s a lot in here that deserves a pull quote, but this is the most egregious. I need people to recognize the gravity of the situation here in Chicago;

"The ones that are getting out are coming home to no home," Watson said.
According to her, after the raid occurred, building management stole or threw out residents belongings, including visas and important documents.

ICIRR is still trying to determine the identities of all the people detained in the raid. Castro said that the organization usually can do that by following up with family members or loved ones. "In this instance, there was nobody left to work with," she said. The only detainee name they're sure of is that of a person who passed their Venezuelan passport to a neighbor as they were being taken away.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

On Saturday a SC Judge and her husband (former SC Democrat Senator) lost their home due to fire. Judge Diana Goodstein had recently stood up to the DOJ's demands for SC voter information.

Unclear what started the fire. I hope they learn in an investigation what happened

Partisan gerrymanders may be legal, but only because SCOTUS said so. They are anti-democratic measures used by a party that fears losing power to hold onto control, a mechanism that lets parties choose their voters instead of letting voters choose who will represent them.
