I'm moving on that day, so I won't be able to do it.

Sgt. Ivy Nicole Unruh — her final act saved six lives. Ivy Nicole Unruh was born on December 6, 2000, in Tucson, Arizona, to Amie Unruh and Matthew Jellison. She would eventually build two very different careers around the same technical abilities, first as a United States Marine, and later as a broadcast engineer in Wichita, Kansas. Some published obituary material spells her middle name “Nichole,” while another family notice uses “Nicole,” so that spelling varies in the public record. Military service appealed strongly to Ivy. Her father later recalled that when people warned her the Marine Corps was the toughest service, that was exactly the challenge she wanted. She went on to complete four honorable years in the Marine Corps, ultimately attaining the rank of sergeant. Her specialty was highly technical. Ivy served as a satellite communications technician, developing experience with radio-frequency systems, satellite equipment, troubleshooting, configuration, and communications technology. Her own professional profile later described experience setting up, monitoring, maintaining, and troubleshooting satellite-communications equipment. Her final Marine Corps assignment was at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego, California. Reporting based on her family and service history states that she earned multiple military awards, including recognition for good conduct, before completing active service in late 2024 and transitioning into the reserve component. After leaving full-time Marine service, Ivy carried those communications skills into civilian life. She moved into broadcast engineering and joined PBS Kansas/KPTS in Wichita, where she worked for approximately a year and a half. PBS Kansas President Victor Hogstrom said her background in radio frequency and satellite communications made her particularly well suited for the station’s engineering department. Her colleagues remembered more than her technical ability. PBS Kansas described Ivy as a talented, kind and dedicated colleague and friend, while Hogstrom recalled someone willing to work with others and take on whatever needed to be done. The station continues to list her on its staff page with a memorial message.

Islamic Republic forces raid homes of three Baha’i families in Isfahan, seize property and steal business. More than 20 plainclothes Iranian forces simultaneously raided the homes of three Baha’i families in Isfahan on August 24, 2026, carrying out extensive searches and confiscating personal and household property. The forces presented judicial warrants and also sealed a business belonging to the families. According to information received by Hengaw, the homes belonged to Amin Tabianifard, Baharieh Asgarinasab, and Nima Tabianifard. Asgarinasab, Amin Tabianifard’s mother, lives in a separate unit in the same building as her son. Forces also searched the family’s instrument-making workshop in the building, confiscating all tools, equipment, and specialized machinery, along with several valuable handmade instruments. Meanwhile, another group searched the home of Nima Tabianifard, Amin Tabianifard’s son, in another Isfahan neighborhood and confiscated several personal belongings. The searches lasted from around 8:00 a.m. until approximately 1:00 p.m. Hengaw has learned that forces used violence, physical assault, and threats during one of the searches. Confiscated property included laptops, mobile phones, smartwatches, power banks, modems, satellite receivers, books, paintings and religious images, cash, foreign currency, gold, a professional camera, a television and TV stand, luggage, and tennis equipment. Forces also confiscated musical instruments belonging to the family, including a piano, violin, setar, cello, tombak, kamancheh, guitar, and clarinet, and subsequently sealed the family’s music and musical instrument store. Following the searches, Nima Tabianifard received a summons to appear before the Isfahan Intelligence Department. Other family members also received summonses to appear before the court located at Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan.

I've been here for a month now, and I am happy to be here. I came here because I wanted to find ways to be useful to the Iranian people, and I found that, and I have found a lot more! Because I have holidays I was here a lot during the past weeks. I like the people here and we have good conversations. You people are smart people here, and good people who want good things for Iran and the world. I respect that a lot. I also love the humor here. However, I've seen people behave towards each other in ways that I believe are not good for the community and for maintaining unity for the causes we align on. I've seen quite a bit of drama and fights already in the calls, and people acting angry and controlling towards others and even towards the host. I know some people already stay away and I worried that this is not good for the movement. I have been told that before I came there was less drama, that there is a lot now, perhaps it is me hahahaha but I do not see how, feel free to practice your feedback-giving on me if there is anything. I just want to say to everyone: if you recognize this, I want to ask you if you could see ways you could do better. I am not telling you what you have to do, just giving my perspective and everyone can decide for themselves if this is relevant or not for you, and if what I write makes any sense at all. I have no authority here, I just care that things keep going well. I believe this is a great way to contribute - your words and your vibes matter. So here's some advices or thoughts I want to share to whoever finds them relevant: - Remember these are all real human being with real lives. Your words (including the tone) may affect them beyond just the discussion you have at the time. People also may sometimes be stressed or tired and so less sharp or easier to irritate, so be gentle with each other. - So try not to insult people. Take a breath. Even when you (think you are) 100% right. Think about it for a bit, and then if it's useful calmly tell the person what's bothering you. If you insult people it builds tension, not just in that person but also in other people. It's pretty destructive, because you are not discussing on a topic anymore, but you make it personal towards the other, you attack the person. This is not okay for anyone here, no matter what role you have. - See if you can de-escalate after getting angry (and perhaps insulting someone). We are all human, so we can all sometimes lash out. That doesn't make one a toxic person (I think we nowadays label each other with harsh labels way too quickly). Errare humanum est. It is human to make mistakes. But the saying continues "perseverare autem diabolicum" - to persist is diabolical. But I would say even if you persist for a while, better change your ways sooner rather then later. - I would suggest to apologize if you insulted someone instead of doubling down. Even if you still think the other has done wrong, be graceful and take responsibility for your own behavior. - Be open to feedback. I also do not love it always to get feedback (we're all human), but feedback is not an attack but an opportunity to grow. - Give people feedback in a kind but clear way when there's an issue. Or just ask why they said what they said. It's all an opportunity to learn. A good percentage of the hurts are misunderstandings. - Be considerate how you speak about others in their absence. - Personal advice (OK all of these are haha so please let me know if you disagree with any of these points): ignore trolls. They are lowering themselves. Do not lower yourself as well. The rules of Liberty Politics clearly state that we should engage in good faith, so the bad faith interactions don't belong here and should not be rewarded with time and attention in my opinion. - Please do not mention any names of others in this discussion. I do not want to encourage finger pointing. This is just for normal humans who recognize what I describe (a bit) in themselves. I also reflected on these questions myself, because relations are a big part of life and challenging from time to time for all of us, so for me too.
