Chicago Police and the FBI are investigating if saboteurs placed bugs in a breakfast buffet prepared for delegates at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday.
“Multiple unknown female offenders are alleged to have entered a building…and began placing unknown objects onto tables containing food,” the convention’s information center said in a statement. “The offenders are believed to have then left the area. One victim was treated and released on-scene. Along with CPD, FBI-Chicago is assisting in the investigation.”
What an atrocious waste of food. And what exactly was this supposed to accomplish? What did their best case scenario look like?
Probably cause some slight discomfort to genociders?
Childish sure, but it’s a noble goal to harass and disrupt these scum anyway possible.
“Chicago Police and the FBI are investigating if saboteurs placed bugs in a breakfast buffet prepared for delegates at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday.”
They are DNC delegates, according to the article. You think they are scum and you call them genociders?
Do I think the DNC are scum who silence Palestinians and support Israel like nearly everyone else in US politics does?
Yes.
So what you’re saying is that we should let trump win and let israel completely wipe gaza and the west bank off the map? We don’t vote for harris because we love her or something. We vote to keep fascists from winning and destroying everything.
What is it with you people? Im pro-palestine but do you want lgbt people murdered, people of color even more oppressed, set back society 80 years, possibly never get to vote again because trump WILL make sure of that. And dont forget destroying educations, food health and safety and other laws and institutions that makes society better and safer?
I get that democrats are not doing nearly enough to stop israel. But trump will do so so so much worse. And not only the palestinian people, but also america itself.
That’s a lot of words to say you tolerate genocide abroad to avoid it at home.
Maybe all those words are saying something about naive single-issue voters who can’t comprehend the world is not perfect and it’s not that simple.
Genocide is non-negotiable. Shame some people don’t agree with that sentiment.
Huh, I suppose if you do support Palestine, you can’t be a DNC delegate?
Huh, I suppose if you do support Palestine, you can’t be a DNC delegate?
Of course not, you simply shouldn’t be a DNC delegate if you support Palestine. Because they’ll point at these delegates and use them as props to say “see, we’re listening to Palestinians” while not changing course.
These are not ordinary voters, these are sometimes local politicians but competing to run the same machine as their more successful national counterparts. These individuals have some degree of power and influence, and they’re choosing to use it for the American Empire.
Zero pity for these turbo-losers getting bugs in their food. Admittedly, making “putting bugs in food” a popular protest tactic doesn’t set a great precedent considering the food safety implications for everyone else, but food safety concerns are NOTHING compared to what Palestinians are suffering at the delegates’ party’s hands.
You are making this the ONLY issue in the world. I fucking hate the israeli government for what they are doing. Fuck israel. But you are willing to let everyone around you burn for this. Willing to let lgbt, people of color, students, poor people and the working class be oppressed and possibly murdered. Because trump WILL make sure of that.

Sounds like what’s happening right fucking now under a Democrat presidency!
How many times do you have to try to kick Lucy’s football before you realize that she’s punking you?!?
Voting for President merely ratifies decisions already made by capital. I’m not voting for your candidate, and I refuse to be guilted for decisions already made by capital.
Because trump WILL make sure of that.
Trump winning would be an indicator of the trajectory you have no control over as far as the ballot box is concerned.
But you are willing to let everyone around you burn for this.
No I am not. I want people to organize themselves against the system, not within it. The system itself is the problem. Having “”“good people”“” is insufficient to get even mediocre change. See self-described socialist AOC speedrunning ghoulification.
You apparently don’t understand the word intersectional.
You also need to reread this:
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.Genocide is something that is binary, and you are either against it or a fascist. There is no middle ground with genocide.
The DNC has already started to indicate they will throw trans people under the bus next.
