My heart goes out to all of you as we process the devastating news of the recent shooting in Minnesota. The events that unfolded are beyond comprehension, and it’s okay to feel a mix of shock, fear, sadness, and anger. This is a time to lean on one another and to remember that we are a community—a safe space for our children and for each other.

The current Space and Military Intelligence landscape is a dynamic and contested space where technological acceleration is outpacing ethical and strategic consensus. The power to launch, to see, and to analyze is becoming more accessible and more potent than ever before. However, the true challenge lies not in the technology itself, but in the human intent behind it.

It's the last week of August, and I know for many of us, it's a busy time with school starting up and trying to soak up the last bits of summer. Here are a few things to keep on your radar this week, from our local community right up to the national level.

Key findings indicate that while nation-states and their primary contractors continue to invest heavily in advanced hardware and launch capabilities, the critical fronts are increasingly in the digital and cognitive realms. The methods used by domestic agencies to leverage information for surveillance underscore the urgent need for the ethical framework central to the S/MILE program.

The Mobile Innovation Center (MIC) will serve as a physical representation of The Hive Social Garden's mission to use nature and technology to engineer a more equitable world. It will be the "Mobile Innovation Center" for the Space and Military Intelligence Learning Experience (S/MILE), providing immersive and hands-on education

The Hive Social Garden, a community-focused organization dedicated to supporting families, today announced an exciting new partnership with PrivacyBee (privacybee.com), a leading online privacy service. This collaboration will provide families within The Hive Social Garden community with enhanced protection against a growing number of online threats, including spam, doxing, fraud, scams, extortion, identity theft, and cyberbullying.

The Queen Bea Wellness program proposes a healing-centered "Food as Medicine" approach to address health disparities among primary caregivers connected to a Space and Military Intelligence Learning Experience, which focuses on the sacrifices of marginalized communities. In memory of Beulah F. Frisk, the program aims to foster equity and well-being for those most impacted by systemic inequities, anticipating a positive impact on the health and well-being of these caregivers.

The global landscape this week is characterized by an accelerating push for technological dominance and a deeper integration of commercial capabilities, all of which are being rapidly facilitated by a new wave of acquisition reforms.

Find a small moment this week just for you. Maybe it's enjoying a cup of coffee while it's still hot, or reading a chapter of a book, or just sitting in a quiet room for five minutes. Those small moments of peace can help you recharge so you can be the wonderful, loving parent you already are. That's my two cents, for what it's worth.

So, my advice for the week is to reach out. Say hello to a new neighbor, join the Hive Social Garden's new platform - Storyteller Energy, or just make a plan to have coffee with a friend you haven't seen in a while. You never know what kind of support system you might find. It's a small step, but it can make a world of difference for you and your family.

The global landscape as of this week continues to be defined by a rapid pursuit of technological advancement, strategic realignments, and an increasing understanding of the intertwined nature of traditional security, economic stability, and global sustainability.

They served in the U.S. Marine Corps as a Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Electronic Warfare (EW) Analyst, worked at the number one provider of Artificial Intelligence solutions to the federal government, and very likely the cute white girl at the bar that one time.

This week really highlights how interconnected our lives are, both nationally and globally. We're seeing everything from shifts in federal benefits for immigrant families to concerns about domestic violence program funding and even the cost of food worldwide. It can feel like a lot to keep track of, can't it? My biggest piece of advice for this week is to stay informed, but also to stay connected within your own community.

As of July 28, 2025, the global Space and Military Intelligence landscape is characterized by rapid technological advancement, strategic realignments, and an increasing recognition of the intertwined nature of traditional security, economic stability, and global sustainability. Our evaluation focuses on the critical intersections of Space and Military Intelligence with Quantum Intelligence, Ethical Social Engineering, and Sustainable Globalization.

This week looks like it might have a bit of everything on our plates, doesn't it? With the government busy in Washington and lots happening around the world, it can feel overwhelming. My advice would be to focus on what you can control right here at home and in your community.

So what are the ramifications of foreign assets in every level of government? Sometimes you have to show your cards and reset for a new game. This is what researchers believe will happen with quantum technologies. The problem is the United States is not ready for the move to quantum because that means they will have to put in the work and admit that they need help.

This week, the big thing to watch is the weather, especially if you're near the Gulf Coast. That potential tropical system could bring some nasty weather, so keep an eye on the forecasts and have your safety plans ready.

As the Department of Defense's constructive disruptor for space acquisition, the SDA aims to rapidly deliver needed space-based capabilities to the joint warfighter to support terrestrial missions through the development, fielding, and operation of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA). This architecture involves a constellation of hundreds of satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO).

Okay, if I had to wrap up my two cents for the week in just a few sentences, I'd say: Stay informed about important national and global news, but remember to focus on the well-being of your family and your local community. Take this week to connect with your loved ones, be mindful of your health, and perhaps find a way to engage with what's happening around you. While there are bigger issues at play, the strength of families and communities is what really matters.
