Got some great ideas for my Open House Chicago itinerary from @leebey1.bsky.social’s list of top five new spots! Does anyone else have recommendations?

The FEMA director is this knucklehead. If he didn’t show for white people in Texas, he sure won’t bother for indigenous people in Alaska. This is tragic. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Fema director defends Texas flood response as ‘model’ for disasters

Condolences. I felt lucky to get it it 5. There are too many words with those first three letters.

Thanks! This is great.

Predicting that the Republican flunkies in Congress will conjure up something, maybe the American Medal of Peace, and showily award it to him. Future winners will be Miller, Hegseth, Noem, and Jared Kushner. Our country will drop through the floor in embarrassment.
