Authorities were seeking "multiple unknown female offenders."

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.”

        The genocide is happening now, under Biden, who could end this in a day.

        I have more respect for the people with their ‘single issue voter’ defense of genocide. They at least aren’t living in a fantasy land that Trump is responsible for Biden’s actions.

        Will do because the Democrats are the ones in power right now.

        To be crystal clear: fuck the Republicans. No disagreement there.

        But they’re not pretending to be the good guys, sapping energy from radical movements and (as liberals) basically existing to spoil popular revolutions. They’re not pulling possible comrades out the game with their variety of liberalism. That’s why I’m so incessant on pushing back against the Democrats.

          Sadly we do not have a choice. We either get soggy shit bread, or we get rat poison. There is no third option. We can kick and scream right now however much we want. But we WILL get either one or the other.

          We need to be alive to organize and fight for this world. We can’t do that on rat poison. Soggy shit bread is no cake either. But at least we live to fight another day.

          We know a lot wont survive on the soggy shit bread. But NOBODY will survive on rat poison. And we do NOT have a choice right now. And pretending otherwise just hurts the weakest and vulnerable among us.

            Exactly, you don’t get a choice. Which one you’re gonna get will be decided by the people with the money. Your input as a voter is orthogonal to what the upcoming administration will actually do, regardless of whom is the figurehead. You can vote for whomever you want as “hard” as you want, but as hard you force that input, you won’t change the trajectory of the system.
