The Hound 6/23

Hi there,

It’s Monday. Today, we are talking about Trump’s attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, the heatwave blanketing the Eastern U.S., and more.

We’re also still following the use of force — including non-lethal rounds and tear gas — against journalists in L.A. covering the ICE raids and community response. 

🖊️ If you haven’t already, sign our petition demanding the protection of journalists on the front lines.
