FBI probes insect attack on Democratic breakfast in Chicago
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."

lolEdit: these assholes are complicit in genocide. Fuck these people, fractally.
Do you pay taxes? Congratulations you are also complicit in genocide
Do you pay taxes? Congratulations you are also complicit in genocide
And that's exactly why I want my fucking tax dollars to stop funding genocide holy shit
Nope, doesn't matter, you're obviously genocidal scum. I mean, that's your thought process for everyone else
your logic
It's not literally everyone, it's people with power and influence who use their energy to prop up the Democratic machine.
You have power and influence.
- The entire sentence, with different emphasis, is:
It's not literally everyone, it's people with power and influence who use their energy to prop up the Democratic machine.
So clearly I'm not irritated at literally all people with power of any form.
Keep in mind, in this thread I am charitably replying to the dishonest suggestion that the average taxpayer has just as much culpability in the genocide in Gaza as someone who goes deep into the halls of power and participates in their process as a delegate.
The power and influence to which my previous comment alluded is that which these delegates fought hard to get, and are now using to prop up the war machine. Again, there is a huge difference in culpability between DNC delegates and the average liberal that's just trying to get back.
Clearly that kind of nuance cannot be indicated by the meme that started this whole thread, as memes intentionally trade substance for brevity, but my other comments throughout the thread have sufficiently explained that my position is a lot more nuanced than "haha all Democrats all bad".
- The power and influence I have is basically entirely privilege that I didn't choose to get and can't fully reject even though I try my damnedest. I literally don't even have a job, can't find one if I tried, no influence on social media other than what you're reading now, and look what good that's doing.
Basically the only real power I took for myself in my entire adult life is my education, on which I defer to Bakunin:
Does it follow that I drive back every authority? The thought would never occur to me. When it is a question of boots, I refer the matter to the authority of the cobbler; when it is a question of houses, canals, or railroads, I consult that of the architect or engineer. For each special area of knowledge I speak to the appropriate expert. But I allow neither the cobbler nor the architect nor the scientist to impose upon me. I listen to them freely and with all the respect merited by their intelligence, their character, their knowledge, reserving always my incontestable right of criticism and verification.
I.e. I don't think that all the power afforded to me by my education is unjust. I am most certainly not using the little power I have to prop up the war machine. (Much to my personal detriment! My line of work is extremely useful to the war machine.) That power which is unjust I take very seriously to reject as best as I can.
Again, it is a ludicrous suggestion that a poor grad student posting memes dunking on the misfortunes of people in power has a comparable power and influence to a delegate at the Democratic National Convention.
If you believe that then you feel the same way or are even more strongly against the Republicans.
... yeah, obviously. Fuck the Republicans. Would love to see them squirm.
There’s no genocide until the ICJ rules it as one. Go back to your anime, kid.
I don't need the ICJ's permission to talk about what I see with my own eyes.
Lmao no you don’t because you’re not important or have any sort of influence or say in any matter. You’re just an American internet kid.
I hope atrocities like those going on on palestine are committed against you and your loved ones and i hope you find no justice for it. You disgust me
This is hilarious, so you support genocide and brutality against innocent people if they're related to or friends with someone who posts opinions you don't like on social media?
You moral highlanders are the funniest things you really are.
Yeah i hope people who belittle genocide like you have to suffer it. The fact you think genocide is hilarious is why.
The fact that you think anyone is finding it hilarious is fucking weird bro
The guy I just responded to literally opened with "this is hilarious"....
Ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about trains.
He didn't say genocide was hilarious. More misattributions...keep shooting your cause in the foot. You are fighting for a good cause, but you are doing a bad job AND hitting potential allies as you also burn down the building we are all in.
Do better, be better, your cause deserves better.
Stop pretending like your criticism is anything but a defense of the indefensible. You're a privileged asshole that wants to tone police while people are dying. I don't care that I hurt your feelings
It won't happen. Sorry to derail your hate.
You havent derailed my hate at all. I continue to hate genocide and those that defend it. I hope they meet their end with karmic justice 🤷
Blind hate, ignorant misattributions, unproductive messaging...you are the leftist version of MAGA, lol.
Hey wait...is THAT what .ml stands for? MAGA Left?
My loyalty is to the innocent people being massacred in Palestine not your hurt privileged feelings.
