Of course Platner knew what his Nazi symbol was. It changed his life. His tattoos were reviewed when he asked to return active duty; a trained officer looked for violations. The sleeve tattoos were OK. The Totenkopf was not. Platner chose to keep it. Somewhere in DoD, it’s all written down. 5/

2004 ATHENS OLYMPICS Reports on construction for the 2004 Olympic Games describe worksites staffed largely by migrant workers from Eastern Europe and South Asia. Investigations documented minimal supervision, lack of protective equipment, and poor safety conditions. While the Greek government reported 14 worker fatalities, on-site observers asserted that the actual number was significantly higher-with estimates reaching up to 40 deaths across Olympic-related projects. 2008 BEIJING OLYMPICS Reports concerning preparations for the 2008 Olympic Games indicate that migrant workers faced exploitative labor conditions, including long hours, unpaid wages, and absence of formal employment contracts. Due to the workers' lack of legal residency status in Beijing and lack of contractual documentation, they reportedly had no meaningful avenues for legal redress for labor violations. 2016 RIO OLYMPICS According to reports on the 2016 Olympic Games, labor trafficking reached particularly high levels during the construction phase. In one documented case, eleven men were trafficked from other parts of Brazil to work on Olympic venues and the athletes' village. Reports state that the workers were not paid the promised wages and were housed in dilapidated, rat-infested buildings, exemplifying severe exploitation during the Games' preparation period 2020 TOKYO OLYMPICS A report from the global union federation Building and Wood Workers' International (BWI) detailed extensive alleged labor rights violations during construction of Tokyo 2020 Olympic facilities. The report found low wages, excessive overtime, and weak grievance mechanisms, contributing to a pervasive "culture of fear." Workers at the Olympic Village reported being required to work 26-28 consecutive days,. 2024 PARIS OLYMPICS Reports and testimonies from undocumented migrant workers involved in building infrastructure for the 2024 Olympic Games reveal significant labor rights violations. French labor inspectors (URACTI) f…

While FIFA's labor trafficking violations in Qatar and elsewhere are well known, @sunitajainlls.bsky.social's report shows the IOC has its own labor trafficking problem.

Even in Paris, alleged labor trafficking at an Olympic Village site brought three construction companies to trial last month

BREATH When it's time, let me walk where the gray moon is light enough to lead. I'll need nothing more. No streetlight Not a star in the chilling sky. My breath will be moonlight then, one step, maybe two, no more. All I need to steer by. Į will learn, gray moon, how we disappear. -David Baker

that's a beauty

Imagine this headline but with "Abolitionists" or "Muslims" or "Socialists" or even "Unitarians" instead of "Evangelicals."

Twenty percent of ppl with measles will end up hospitalized. And we have no treatment for it.

Get vaccinated if you're able. Make sure you've got some immunity if your doctor will run your titers. If you're unsure if you were vaccinated, or have an older vaxx consider getting a booster.

Spring is coming and it's time for all American's to pitch in and plant their "kinetic conflict gardens"

One was a kid when I knew him and a teen when he committed the crime. His dad seemed somewhat...volatile, but the boy was sweet.
The other one was a guy I was hung up on. None of my friends liked him. He broke up with me to date his hairdresser. Married her & 20 yrs later he killed her

LOL No these murders happened in two different quiet suburbs in the 2000s.

He talks a lot of shit about women in his songs. It's why I don't like him

Two people I knew later committed grisly murders. Two unrelated people, two completely separate murders.

Stuart is just a weird little guy. That was logic enough for me when I was a kid. Maybe I just already loved E. B. White so much that he could get away with anything

No need to hide your dogs anymore folks!

Well, this is kinda awkward. I too have been named Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas. I hope every single person on every social media platform doesn't announce exactly the same thing and also change their bio to reflect the appointment. That might bother Kristi Noem.
