In Case You Missed It.
🇫🇷 Police arrested 491 people in Paris after Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League and fans got rowdy and violent. At least 18 police officers were injured and 2 people were killed.
🥊 Imane Khelif will not be allowed to compete as a woman in World Boxing and a new report shows that her sex-test results from the 2023 World Championships indicated that she is biologically male.
đź“ž President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to have a conversation this week to address ongoing trade tensions between the United States and China.
⚖️ Mexico held its first-ever judicial elections, aiming to transform the country’s court system. However, the process has sown confusion among voters, raising concerns about the potential impact on the rule of law.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly spoke with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and “expressed sincere condolences on the civilian casualties resulting from the bombings of railway infrastructure in the Bryansk and Kursk regions on June 1.” Russia says that this was “caused by sabotage,” but has not specifically placed blame on Ukraine. At least seven people were killed.
This happened just one day after Ukraine struck Russia’s military airfields over the weekend, reportedly without the knowledge of the U.S. According to Moscow, most of the strikes were repelled, with some resulting in material damage but no casualties. Russia retaliated with several strikes on Ukraine’s defense industries.
Ukraine had to use NATO weapons to do this but the U.S. reportedly did not know about it. Why would Ukraine do this? Does it give them any advantage going into the negotiations on Monday? Are these attacks a message to Russia — or to NATO?
Boulder “Terror” Attack

A shirtless man attacked a pro-Israel rally in Boulder, Colorado this weekend, and it has been labeled a “terror attack.”
Terror, as defined by thinkers like Frantz Fanon and Noam Chomsky, is “the weapon of the weak against the powerful.” It is usually a coordinated event to inspire terror in others.
The video of this incident shows an erratic and shirtless man brandishing Molotov cocktails to set people on fire. He reportedly shouted anti-Zionist slogans such as “End Zionists” and “Palestine is free” during the attack.
The suspect, identified as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, injured six people, all between the ages of 67 and 88. One remains in critical condition; the others are expected to recover.
The attacker in Boulder is being portrayed as politically motivated, but let’s be honest: a shirtless man with a Molotov cocktail is hardly representative of the Palestinian cause. Practicing Muslims don’t go shirtless in public — many don’t even wear shorts. If this was ideological, it wasn’t coherent.

Israel Denies Civilian Strikes

Someone opened fire on a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid hub in Rafah this weekend, killing at least 31 people and injuring more than 200. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) deny responsibility.
The IDF said its troops “fired warning shots to deter individuals they deemed suspicious.” They released drone footage showing what they claim are armed gunmen in a crowd. However, the Associated Press reports that the video could not be independently verified and appears unrelated to the Rafah shootings.
The U.S. company managing food distribution denies those claims. But one Palestinian eyewitness told The Telegraph: “The shooting was directed at the road where people were — direct fire — and it came from several directions, mainly quadcopters. The Americans were using tear gas. Many were killed.”

250 million. That is how many bees escaped when a truck carrying hives crashed in Washington. Officials said that the only thing that they could do was wait for the bees to follow their queen to a new hive within 24-48 hours.
112. That is how many homicides happened in New York City from January through May of this year and Mayor Adams is pretty happy with that since it is one fewer than the same period last year.
23. That is how many states had a chance to see the Northern Lights on Sunday night.

Iranian Nuclear “Report”
A new United Nations report supposedly says that Iran has increased its uranium enrichment by 50%. How do we know this? We don’t — not directly.
This claim comes from press reports based on a leaked “confidential” document from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a branch of the United Nations. The report itself isn’t public, but the press is running with it anyway.
The Associated Press says the IAEA reports that Iran is enriching uranium up to 60% — but that’s not news. The IAEA already stated this back in March. So why is this being rehashed now?
It could be a boost to the Trump administration’s flailing efforts to secure a new nuclear deal. President Trump says he still wants an agreement — but one that allows the U.S. to blow up any Iranian site at will.
Who in their right mind would agree to that?
Iran rejected the IAEA report, calling it “politically motivated” and full of “baseless accusations.”
