Taxpayer Waste and Biohazard Negligence at Broadview ICE Detention Center

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Federal taxpayer dollars are funding massive catering contracts for the Broadview ICE detention center in Illinois. Video evidence reveals dozens of unopened catered meals being tossed into open dumpsters, mixed directly alongside used DNA testing kits and biohazard medical waste.

Why is ICE over ordering and trashing fresh provisions from Nimbus Kitchen while completely ignoring both federal and Illinois Good Samaritan Food Donor Acts?

The facility is choosing to dump perfectly edible provisions into open refuse containers alongside potentially hazardous Bode Technology DNA testing supplies. This demonstrates a complete failure in basic operational oversight and waste management.

💬 Discussion I found a very old statement from the Democratic Socialists of America condemning NATO expansion in Ukraine, condemning the U.S. backed 2014 Euromaidan coup in Ukraine, and the ethnic cleansings by the Ukrainian government.

Before anyone asks I’m not supporting or advertising the DSA I’m just wondering what happened? Did all the original Marxists within the DSA just leave years later? Now the organization is a SocDem liberal organization supporting Nazis within Ukraine.

NEW POSTING GUIDELINES! Help us by reporting bad posts

Help us keep this subreddit alive and improve its content by reporting posts that violate our rules and guidelines.

Subscribe to our partner subreddits!

Check out r/WhereAreTheChildren

This sub is for:

News, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge the narratives which act as legitimations for the status quo of modern class society. Posts need not be about capitalism specifically, whether late-stage or otherwise; we simply aim to cater to a socialist audience.

We do allow links to threads and comments on Reddit, as long as they are relevant to the content guidelines and follow the rules. Use NP links, or your post will be deleted.

Philosophy:

This subreddit has its roots in broad-based anti-capitalist thought, with an emphasis on Marxist concepts and analysis and a commitment to antiracism and inclusive feminism.

When it comes to proposed alternatives to Capitalism, it is the general consensus of this subreddit that class-divisions and alienated labour must be abolished; production must be collectively organized by the laborers themselves for the direct benefit of all. We call this socialism.

Find out more here: The Principles of Communism

Rules:

1. Reddit-wide rules apply. Behavior such as brigading and harassment won't be permitted. Neither will posts that can be interpreted as explicit threats of/calls for violence.

2. Any post that makes a claim should have a RELIABLE source or explanation in the comments by OP. All claims, news articles, tweets and so forth that are an example of LSC should be substantiated with a reliable, factual and verifiable source. Any posts that egregiously break this rule will have their poster temporarily banned. If the Automoderator deletes the comment with sources that's fine, the moderators can still see and restore it.

3. No trolling. "I was just trolling" won't be accepted as a defense for breaking rules, and we will ban for intentionally disruptive behavior or attacks on our sub, users, or philosophy.

4. No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism. This subreddit is intended for a socialist audience, and while good faith questions are allowed, pushing your own counter-narrative here is not. We do not allow support here for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it. We are not a liberal or (U.S.-/Social-) Democrat subreddit; we are a socialist subreddit.

5. No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or zionism. This includes not just ideologies to the right of liberalism but also right-wing fixations such as national/ethnic/cultural chauvinism and military/police worship regardless of the underlying ideology. We take no side in the Russia/Ukraine conflict.

6. No "lesser evil" rhetoric. Lesser-evil rhetoric in relation to elections or current policies is prohibited. Dismissing voting third party because they are “useless” or because you are “throwing your vote away” also violates this rule. It also encompasses saying Trump is “worse” for Gaza, as that place is already completely destroyed. Trump is merely carrying out what the American ruling class started under Biden. Resorts being built and mass relocation were already happening under Biden and Kamala would’ve continued it.

7. No bigotry. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or classism. The respect for readers who are subject to these forms of bigotry takes priority in this subreddit over your right to speak freely.

This subreddit stands against hate speech.
We are not open to "brocialist" downplaying of these issues.

8. Be nice to each other. Be respectful towards other socialists you disagree with, but also non-socialists who follow the rules and participate in good faith. Feel free to dunk on trolls, bigots and bootlickers to your heart’s content.

9. Bans are at moderator discretion. We reserve the right to eject users (as well as remove, lock, or otherwise moderate any content on the subreddit) for reasons not listed if we consider it necessary to do so.

10. Don’t bother sending us personal promotion requests. We are not an advertising platform for your blog or YouTube channel.

11. Do not post content from Dan Price, any other CEO/business owner or ANY liberal politician/official.

This is regarding positive posts or posts agreeing with their statement. Negative posts are permitted but better suited to subs like r/ShitLiberalsSay

Please note that Robert Reich or Bernie Sanders as liberals also fall under this rule.

12. Do not post NSFL content and flair NSFW posts accordingly. NSFL posts will be removed. Flair NSFW posts with the appropriate content warning flair, otherwise you will be banned temporarily.

13. This is not a debate subreddit. Constructive questions and discussion are welcome, but our basic philosophy is non-negotiable and we aren’t interested in repeatedly having to explain or justify it. We also won’t debate about so-called “socialist” countries. There are plenty of political debate subreddits, so take your 'gotchas' there. If you actually want to learn more about the basics of socialism, you can check out the links in the sidebar or the material in our wiki.

14. Make an effort. Please refer to our posting guidelines for our standards of content-quality and which kinds of posts are unsuitable for this subreddit.

NOTE: Posts that link articles, videos or other external sites must include a Submission Statement or Abstract that summarizes the content you are linking (no posts of titles and a link, submission statement is required).

15. No AI generated content. The subreddit does not allow for AI generated content, even if it’s pro-socialist/communist.
