NEW: Pentagon lawyers asked State Dept. if US could send survivors of Trump's boat strikes to a notorious prison in El Salvador. Then Pentagon pushed to have survivors sent anywhere but the US — to prevent any US court cases. Gift link to our @nytimes.com story: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/u...

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.
One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

Sadly relevant once again
Once again, proof that in order for things to change, we need to make them more afraid of us than they are of Trump and his maga goons

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

This is insane shit. Cops hate the people of Los Angeles and look for any excuse to injure people.
Cops going aggro on Sunset near Echo Park in LA after the Dodgers Win. Shooting people with less lethals from point blank range, horses running people and press down. Literally minutes before, fireworks in the street

Yoshinobu Yamamoto is the first pitcher in MLB history to win 3 games ON THE ROAD in a single World Series.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto is the first pitcher to win 3 games in a single World Series since Randy Johnson in 2001. Johnson won Game 2 and Game 6 as a starter and Game 7 as a reliever. Yamamoto did the same.

Ohtani understandably gets the attention, but Yamamoto just did something I'm not sure we'll ever see repeated in our lifetime.
