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.”

    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.

            Theres plenty of room to argue that

            1. No US presidential candidates are involved in genocide
            2. While there’s a huge atrocity/humanitarian crisis in Gaza, genocide implies an intent that’s not there
            3. Hamas started it and are the legally elected and internationally recognized government - they invaded a foreign country, killed over 1,000 civilians, kidnapped hundreds as hostages, and assumed they could just leave safely.

            No one can argue the horror being inflicted on Palestinian civilians, nor the scale of that horror, but it’s not as black and white as you make it seem by throwing around loaded terms like “genocide”, nor is US directly involved, nor can we necessarily intervene in another country’s affairs

              Any country that intentionally restricts access to food, medicine, and portable water to a population it finds inconvenient is a government intentionally committing genocide.
