• Jeremiah Treece's petition + Joshua Gordon's design unite for new Montgomery flag debut (thebamabuzz.com) — Montgomery has officially raised a new city flag, its first redesign since 1952, following a student-led petition and public design contest. Local activist Jeremiah Treece and designer Joshua Gordon helped shape a symbol city leaders say reflects unity, progress, and a forward-looking identity for Alabama's capital.
   

• Alabama Board of Nursing Reports Cybersecurity Incident and Potential Data Exposure (abc3340.com) — A cybersecurity incident at the Alabama Board of Nursing in Montgomery may have exposed personal and health information for nurses, applicants, licensees, and some members of the public. Officials say ransomware-related activity in August and September led to data being taken, and they're urging people to monitor accounts, consider credit freezes, and watch for scams while the investigation continues.
