Trump and Miller treated her and her fellow soldiers as props--with targets painted on their backs.

RIP Sarah Beckstrom, who deserved so much better leadership.
Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.

She didn't want to deploy to D.C.

"She hated it. She cried about it."

But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.

May she rest in peace.

National Guard member killed in D.C. shooting remembered for 'heart of gold'
The slain soldier’s former boyfriend recalled her empathy and generosity. “She doesn’t even have to know you and she’ll do anything for you,” he said.

I wrote about Oura's security and privacy practices earlier this year for this.weekinsecurity.com, and found:

• Oura rings *don't* end-to-end encrypt users' health data;
• Oura *can* access its users' data;
• Oura told me that the company *has* received U.S. government demands for users' data.

The anti-communist dissident intellectuals, from Václav Havel to Leszek Kołakowski to Milan Kundera to Györgi Konrad and more, provided much that should have been embraced in Western Liberal thought in shaping a 21st liberalism. It's not too late to still do so now, almost 40 years after 1989.

When I went home to Mississippi last week, a Black farmer welcomed folks to pick greens from his land for free. It made me wonder whether other communities across the country were also giving back ahead of the holiday.

The answer: yes, they are.

Does anyone have any recommendations for online resources for dealing with ICE / CBP? I am trying to come up with a list for people who are either just experiencing things or just tuning in. I have ACLU KYR links and some whistle stuff...what else?

I'm proud to be marching this upcoming Black Friday alongside the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, @ctulocal1.bsky.social and dozens of other orgs and unions to unite the boycott campaigns against Amazon, AT&T and Target, and demand that big corporations pay their share of taxes.

A thing that I hope comes through in this report: the level of organization here — speaking of the various groups and efforts this family is involved with — is something to behold.

Near as I can tell, the average volunteers are regular people — but dadgum are the organizing.
NEW: Earlier this month, I spent the day with the Luhmanns — a family rooted in theologically conservative Christianity.

In the morning, the homeschooled teenage sons tracked ICE.

In the afternoon, the mother aided an immigrant mother whose partner was deported. religionnews.com/2025/11/25/h...

A dog’s paw print on a Roman clay tile 🐾 🐕 😍

About 2,000 years-ago, a dog made its mark for ‘pawsterity’ when it wandered across the wet tile laid out to dry before firing.

The President directing the FBI to target us is exactly why we made this video in the first place. He believes in weaponizing the federal government against his perceived enemies and does not believe laws apply to him or his Cabinet.

~1 yr ago we sent a Giving Tuesday email to our tiny mailing list shortly after starting our own publication.

In the time since, we have been overwhelmed by how many of you find our work worth supporting.

No email this time around. But if you'd like to support indie media today, here's how:

Gregory Bovino’s deposition is out. Check here and @chicagotribune.com for highlights. Throughout, Bovino was evasive and combative. In this, while being asked about a photo showing him throwing tear gas, Bovino said: “You said canister. I threw two. That’s plural.”

a lot of interesting tidbits in this story about rep. lauren underwood’s visit to the broadview ice jail.

as always, take everything dhs says with a grain of salt. but it sounds like the feds’ terror in chicago is far from over.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
