🚨HEARTBREAKING: The late Dr. Jamal Naim, former Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry in Gaza and one of its most respected dental academics, was critically injured after an Israeli airstrike targeted his home, killing his three daughters two of them dentists along with his three grandchildren and his elderly mother. Despite his own injuries, he spent his final days searching for the body of his daughter, Dr. Shaimaa, whose remains were never recovered after the blast. He continued pleading for help to find her beneath the rubble until the day he died.

The Trump administration approved three new “forever chemical”-based pesticides last week for use on food crops, including corn and soybeans — the most widely grown crops in the country — as well as wheat, kiwi, oats, peas, broccoli and coffee. These new chemicals — diflufenican, epyrifenacil, trifludimoxazin — have all been quietly approved without a standard press release. Trump approved other PFAS-based pesticides cyclobutrifluram and isocycloseram earlier this year, and the first food use of chlormequat — which is already found in 90% of Americans’ blood. An EPA scientist wrote in the approval documents that at least one of these new PFAS-based pesticides is “suggestive evidence of carcinogenic potential.” These approvals come just days after the Supreme Court sided with chemical maker Bayer and the Trump administration in limiting Americans’ ability to sue pesticide companies for harms linked to pesticides. Now, Americans will have a harder time holding companies accountable for the cancer-causing effects of their pesticides.

🚨🇵🇸 At least 4 Palestinians have been killed and 16 wounded in Israeli strikes in Gaza since dawn, according to hospital sources cited by Shehab News. Two of the dead and at least 15 of the wounded were reported after an Israeli strike hit a vehicle near Al-Istabl Junction on Al Rashid Street west of Khan Younis. Al Jazeera reported a higher casualty toll in the incident: 4 killed and 16 injured. Additional strikes targeted vehicles near Al Jazeera Cafe in the Mawasi area. Shehab reported that occupants of a separate vehicle struck near the mills area south of Deir al-Balah escaped unharmed after a drone attack. Israeli forces also carried out a demolition operation southeast of Deir al-Balah.

🚨URGENT: Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s life is in immediate danger, Physicians for Human Rights Israel and his lawyer warned Saturday, after a prison visit revealed the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital bearing fresh, severe injuries to his head, eyes, ears, and neck, so disfigured his own attorney initially struggled to recognize him. 🔹Attorney Nasser Odeh, who saw Abu Safiya Thursday at the underground Rakefet interrogation facility in Nitzan Prison, said he arrived shackled hand and foot, escorted by masked guards, struggling to breathe and speak, unable to sit upright, and repeatedly on the verge of losing consciousness. 🔹Abu Safiya told him that after his Supreme Court appeal was heard June 10, four or five guards entered his solitary cell at Ganot Prison and beat him with a hammer and batons, and that since his June 24 transfer to Rakefet he has been beaten daily, losing consciousness several times without receiving medical treatment. 🔹“This is the last time you will see me,” he told his lawyer. “They brought me here to kill me. I don’t see myself surviving. This is the end.” 🔹PHRI notes the escalation in torture began directly after Abu Safiya challenged his detention in court. He has been held without charge since December 27, 2024, under Israel’s Unlawful Combatants Law. 🔹The group has appealed to Israel’s attorney general and prison service demanding his immediate transfer, an independent medical examination, and an urgent judicial visit “before it is too late.” Photo: Amnesty International

YESTERDAY: The Trump administration bragged that the PJM power grid was relying on fossil fuels instead of renewables. "Keeping our air conditioners blasting." TODAY: The Trump administration alerts PJM to cut electricity use as outages, overloaded transmission lines, and extreme heat push the system toward blackouts. PJM escalates emergency actions as a result.

"Afghanistan was a significant recipient of USAID food and humanitarian assistance before the agency was dismantled. In 2024, the US was the source of 43% of all international humanitarian funding to Afghanistan, and the US had also been the largest funder of the World Food Program overall, contributing $4.5 billion of the $9.8 billion in donations to the world's largest food aid provider that year. When DOGE moved to shut down USAID in early 2025, Afghanistan was hit hard by the cuts. Officials estimated $560 million in humanitarian aid has been cut, including for emergency food assistance, treatment of malnourished babies, medical care, safe drinking water and mental health treatment for survivors of sexual and physical violence. A WFP assessment found that food assistance to 2 million people in Afghanistan would be terminated, with more than 650,000 malnourished children, mothers and pregnant women losing nutritional support."

🇵🇸 FRIDAY | A child and a young man were killed and others wounded in Israeli attacks across Gaza on Friday morning. 🔹Gaza’s Civil Defense said an Israeli quadcopter drone dropped a bomb on two children filling water behind the Omari Mosque in Gaza City’s Old City, killing one and wounding the other. 🔹Udai Hussein al-Louh, 27, was killed in a drone strike east of Deir al-Balah. 🔹Israeli forces also shelled eastern Jabalia and Gaza City with artillery, an Apache helicopter opened fire east of Gaza City, tanks fired heavily south of Khan Younis, and the army carried out demolitions of homes and residential buildings in eastern Gaza City, per Palestine Online’s correspondent. 🔹Gaza’s Government Media Office said Thursday the war, now past 1,000 days, has caused an estimated $80 billion in initial direct losses across 15 vital sectors. ⬇️⬇️

After the destruction of tourist resorts, water parks, and homes in Gaza, the children who survived the war found themselves in tents that offer no protection from the intense summer heat. Inside these tents, the bodies suffocate under the unbearable temperature, forcing them to step outside in search of any relief. There is no electricity and no means of cooling, nothing to ease the harshness. They gather whatever little water is available to create makeshift pools on the ground, then sit or dive into them to cool down their exhausted bodies, in a scene that reflects a harsh reality with no real choices or alternatives.

Iceland has now killed at least 11 fin whales this summer, the second-largest animal on Earth, for meat almost no one eats. After two years without a hunt, commercial whaling resumed in June. The season’s quota is up to 150 fin whales, a vulnerable species that has still not recovered from a century of commercial whaling. One of the whales killed was a pregnant mother, along with her unborn calf. The deaths are rarely quick. Iceland’s Food and Veterinary Authority (MAST) documented one whale taking 31 minutes to die after being struck by four exploding harpoons. Previous investigations have also found whales taking up to two hours to die. And it’s for almost nothing. Icelanders rarely eat fin whale. Most of the meat is exported to Japan, where much of it remains frozen and unsold. Whale watching generates far more value for Iceland’s economy than whaling ever has. The Icelandic government has pledged to introduce legislation to end commercial whaling, but this season’s hunt is still going ahead.

💢 Four Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza on day 1,000 of the genocide ➤ An Israeli strike on a motorcycle near the Muath bin Jabal Mosque, north of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza killed Abdel Hamid Jarwan and wounded several others. ➤ In southern Gaza, two Palestinians — Mahmoud Al-Brim, 43, and Yousef Abu Khater, 60 — were killed, and several wounded, including children, after an Israeli strike hit a tent in the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis. Ahmed al-Brim, Mahmoud’s brother, later died from wounds sustained in the attack. ➤ Elsewhere, Yasser Abd Subh, 18, died of wounds sustained in a previous Israeli attack on the coast of Khan Younis. Israeli artillery also shelled areas north of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, while the military carried out large-scale demolitions of buildings in the southern city of Rafah. Since October 11, the first full day of the so-called ceasefire, Israeli attacks have killed at least 1,059 Palestinians and wounded 3,429 others across Gaza, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

This is incredibly dangerous stuff. Trump cutting safety corners with stage building is the kind of thing somebody can genuinely be prosecuted for if someone dies, which is not uncommon if you slap it together like this. This equipment is deadly when falling from those heights.

⛪️ The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA), representing the U.S.’s largest Presbyterian denomination, voted 454-15 Tuesday to identify Israel’s war on Gaza as a genocide, to lobby Congress for an arms embargo, and to encourage members to boycott Israeli products tied to the war. 🔹 A previous 447-21 vote affirmed the Kairos Palestine II statement calling for intensified boycott, divestment and sanctions efforts. 🔹A ranking member of the Church said that the Assembly had spoken “in a unified voice” against genocide and was similarly unified about “measures that will hopefully contribute to the liberation of Palestine.” 🔹The votes came after the church on Sunday unanimously voted to divest from Palantir and GE Aerospace, adding to earlier divestments from HP, Motorola, Caterpillar, and Israeli bonds, and after its 2022 declaration that Israel is an apartheid state.

Beef production is the single most destructive agricultural commodity to nature. It drives more deforestation, biodiversity loss, and greenhouse gas emissions than almost any other food system on the planet. Vast areas of tropical forests, especially in the Amazon and the Gran Chaco, are cleared every year for cattle pasture and feed crops. The land use footprint is enormous, water consumption is massive, and methane emissions are significant. While other commodities have environmental impacts, beef consistently ranks at the top for overall environmental impact per calorie or per gram of protein produced. This isn’t about shaming individual choices. It’s about facing the scale of the system we’ve built. Cattle ranching is responsible for around 41% of global deforestation and roughly 80% of deforestation in the Amazon. Beef also requires around 20 times more land per gram of protein than many plant-based alternatives. Livestock and the crops grown to feed them occupy nearly 80% of the world’s agricultural land while providing less than 20% of the world’s calories. Every hectare converted to pasture or feed crops is habitat that countless species lose forever. The food on our plates is directly connected to the future of the world’s remaining forests and the stability of our climate. Reducing beef consumption, especially beef produced through deforestation-intensive industrial systems, is one of the highest-impact actions we can take for nature.

💢 Israeli strikes killed 3 Palestinians and wounded others across Gaza on Wednesday, as Israeli forces continued their violations of the ceasefire with home demolitions, fire on displacement tents, and indiscriminate shelling, Palestine Online reported, citing medical sources. Attacks include: 🔸 Israeli aircraft struck a group of people in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City, killing 2 civilian and wounding several others. 🔸 An Israeli strike on the Al-Mawasi refugee camp in Khan Younis overnight Wednesday killed two people and wounded several others, according to WAFA. 🔸 The Red Crescent said its crews evacuated two wounded people, one in critical condition, after an Israeli strike hit a group of civilians on Omar al-Mukhtar Street in central Gaza City. 🔸 Hisham Khaled Hammad, a resident of Rafah, died of wounds he had sustained a year earlier. 🔸 In the south, Israeli vehicles fired directly at displacement tents and homes in the Qizan Rashwan area south of Khan Younis, and troops launched illumination flares over western Rafah. 🔸 Israeli artillery shelled areas northeast of the Bureij camp in central Gaza, causing damage. Gaza’s Health Ministry says 1,053 Palestinians have now been killed since the ceasefire took effect in October, part of a toll that includes 3,406 wounded. 📸 Funeral held today for 1-year old girl in Gaza

🇸🇩 War-torn Sudan hit by deadly cholera outbreak At least 838 suspected cholera cases and 117 deaths have been reported in Sudan’s West Kordofan province, as the country’s civil war continues to cripple healthcare and humanitarian access. World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus confirmed the outbreak, citing data from Sudan’s Ministry of Health. He said the conflict has severely disrupted medical services and displaced communities, worsening the spread of the disease. Tedros added that fighting and roadblocks are hindering the delivery of humanitarian aid and preventing medical teams from reaching affected areas.

I don’t know whether the world is truly aware or is deliberately turning a blind eye to what is happening right now in Gaza. But this is exactly how they are planning the so called “New Gaza” they keep talking about. They want to impose oppressive camps inside the city, disguised as fake natural reserves, surrounded by harsh barbed wire that prevents anyone from leaving as if they are caging an entire population inside iron enclosures under the sky. This is the “future” they are planning: tightly sealed prisons, all under the name of reconstruction.

🚨Breaking: The remains of young Palestinian woman Oreib Azmi Al-Rais have been recovered from beneath the rubble in Gaza. She was killed by Israeli forces alongside her entire family when their home was bombed and collapsed over them more than two and a half years ago.

🚨HORRIBLE: The Israeli army released footage showing a drone of theirs targeting an unarmed civilian walking in central Gaza City several days ago. The strike killed two Palestinians and injured 20 others, including women and children.

🎥 Recalling how she was fired from her law firm after refusing to remove a letter defending pro-Palestinian student protesters, Melat Kiros said, “I didn’t flinch because I stood by every word and I always will.” She added: “I know that will not be the only moment where those in power will tell me to change my tune, to not rock the boat. That seems to happen a lot in Congress, but here in Denver we stand by our values and we stand with our community.” Democratic socialist Melat Kiros declared victory after defeating 15-term incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette in Colorado’s Democratic primary tonight. “Denver voters of all ages, of all races, of all religions sent a clear message: We will not wait.”

🚨 Israeli Plan to Herd Palestinians Into Controlled “Shelters” to Begin “Within A Matter of Weeks” 🔸Israel is preparing to channel Palestinians into fenced “humanitarian shelters” in areas outside Hamas’s control, policed by a foreign force, while its military deepens its occupation of the rest of Gaza, according to the pro-Netanyahu paper Israel Hayom, which reported the plan approvingly. 🔸Under the plan, unarmed civilians would be directed to a first zone in Tel al-Sultan, near Rafah, an area Drop Site has documented Israel systematically razing. 🔸A “multinational force” - the ISF - operating under the Trump administration’s “Board of Peace” would deploy there from a newly built base, equipped to police the zones, while the Israeli military “continues to maintain and deepen its hold” beyond the Yellow Line. 🔸 The camp/base for the force “has already been built,” and the Board of Peace has “begun identifying sites” for logistics warehouses, with the groundwork underway now, and deployment in the coming weeks. 🔸The paper described the effort as a “pincer movement”: the military seizing more territory as the population is siphoned into the controlled zones, in the hope that Hamas is left “without a population, territory or resources.” 🔸Officials said the areas would receive caravans and aid, but not the concrete needed to actually rebuild Gaza. ◽️The plan matches what Drop Site has previously exposed through leaked documents: a surveilled, checkpoint-controlled “planned community” in Rafah designed to force Palestinians into what amounts to an Israeli panopticon, tracked and screened as a condition of receiving aid. 🔸An Israeli political source told the paper the military would keep up “the pace of targeted killings while remaining below the threshold of international criticism… as long as Hamas is unwilling to disarm.” 📸 The buildup is already visible: the “Board of Peace” itself posted images of tactical vehicles arriving at a logistics base on June 30, matching the article’s account of preparations underway.

Melat Kiros: “We will not wait to take the fight to Donald Trump… And no, we will not wait to end the genocide in Palestine.”

@MosabAbuToha The horror show continues and most people would rather not watch it but this is the reality- sadists continue their torture and murder and the world allows it by being silent, not condemning the barbarism and militaries protect the abusers instead of the victims.

You should feel ashamed to call yourselves journalists. There is nothing called “Palestinian-controlled” and “areas under israeli military control.” It’s all Palestinian lands OCCUPIED by Israel. Israel is an illegal occupation. And shame on you. This story is from June 15. TWO WEEKS AGO. Here are the details you need to know about the child and his father which I posted June 15. Israel opened fire on two civilians on the Salah Eddin St. east of Der el-Balah, killing a child and critically injuring his father. Immediately, Israel abducted the body of the child and the his bleeding father. The following day, israel released the body of the child and his wounded father. The boy was SHOT IN THE EYE. Israel and its terrorist forces released the body of a child after killing him and holding his body hostage for a few hours. The child’s name was Rayyan Abu al-Ajin.

🚨 TRUMP’S FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE JUST DROPPED…AND IT’S WORSE THAN YOU THOUGHT. The U.S. Office of Government Ethics released Donald Trump’s 927-page financial disclosure today. Here’s what a sitting U.S. President made in 2025: 💰 $635 MILLION from the TRUMP memecoin, while retail investors watched it crash from $74 to $1.68 💰 $594 MILLION from World Liberty Financial token and stablecoin sales, a crypto venture co-founded with his own sons 💰 $65 MILLION from selling equity in that same company 💰 $80+ MILLION in media settlements from ABC, CBS, Meta, and YouTube, paid to his own presidential library Total crypto haul: over $1.4 BILLION. In one year. While serving as President of the United States. His net worth has nearly TRIPLED, from $2.4 billion to $6.3 billion, since taking office. And while Trump pocketed $1.4 billion from crypto, the everyday Americans who bought his memecoin? They lost. 764,000 wallets ended up in the red. This is the most corrupt presidency in American history. Period.
