@cdadamjardy.bsky.social Now I will say Chatman should be getting offense run for him. Why consistently stick maybe your best shooter in the corner just watching the play?

More often than not, when #CFC drop points as they did v Leeds last night and/or play badly, it is blamed in many quarters as due to a 'lack of experience'. My column below on why this should not be used as an excuse. www.nytimes.com/athletic/703...
Don’t chalk up Chelsea’s Leeds collapse to inexperience. They’re better than this
Liam Rosenior's side are young by Premier League standards, but that was not the reason for their errors against Leeds

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

@cdadamjardy.bsky.social it was malpractice that Cupps was getting more minutes than Chatman. Lack of defense or not. You have a team that struggled to score. Chatman brings much more to the table

I would be very surprised if a full accounting in the future didn't reveal more than one mass grave at the detention centers. If they're behaving this way in public, what's happening out of sight must be many times more brutal.
Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
