⚠️The Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza had been organizing public screenings of World Cup matches for displaced families across the Strip. About an hour before today’s Egypt-Argentina match, Israel killed the committee’s public relations director in a strike on his vehicle. Two others, including a child, were also killed.

Physicians for Human Rights Israel has warned that Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, is now in immediate danger of being killed in Israeli occupation custody. His lawyer, Nasser Odeh, who visited him on 2 July at the underground Rakefet interrogation facility inside Nitzan Prison, said he barely recognized him. Dr. Abu Safiya was brought in shackled hand and foot, flanked by masked guards, his head, eyes, ears and neck covered in fresh injuries. He struggled to breathe and speak, could not sit upright without nearly collapsing, and seemed close to losing consciousness, too frightened to speak freely.

He told his lawyer that after his Supreme Court appeal was heard in June, guards entered his solitary cell and beat him with a hammer and batons, and that since his transfer to Rakefet on 24 June he has been beaten daily to the point of repeatedly losing consciousness, with no medical care. He said plainly: this is the last time you will see me, they brought me here to kill me. Held since December 2024 under the occupation's "Unlawful Combatants" law, without charge or trial, Dr. Abu Safiya saw his beatings escalate sharply only after he legally challenged his detention, and both his lawyer and PHRI are demanding his immediate transfer, an independent medical examination and his release, warning that any delay could cost him his life.

Again: section 224 is integrating 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 militaries, and not enough people seem aware of it.

For those wondering the visa bond implemented by the Trump admin against Cape Verde is $15,000 per person. Many players in this tournament are here without family or personal support because they literally cannot afford the visa.

[Alex Tiffin @RespectIsVital]

The United States has denied a visa for Iran's national team manager Mehdi Mohammadnabi.

He will be barred entering the U.S. for their the Fifa #WorldCup 2026 matches.

He & others also denied visas will travel to the team camp in Mexico whilst efforts to obtain visas continue.

⛵️ REPORT | Global Sumud Flotilla volunteers released testimony describing severe physical abuse, torture, and sexual violence following the interception of their vessel by Israeli forces. The flotilla says at least 12 sexual assaults were documented aboard the vessel alone, including anal rape and forcible penetration with a handgun.

Participants said detainees were subjected to humiliating strip searches, sexual taunting, groping, and multiple people were raped. Many others described rubber bullets fired at close range, tasers used on the face and upper body, stun grenades thrown into groups of detainees, prolonged stress positions under permanent bright light, and hijabs forcibly removed.

Much of the testimony of Israeli abuse came from what volunteers called the “torture boat,” described as an Israeli naval vessel outfitted with makeshift detention structures built from barbed wire and shipping containers. Detainees say they were taken one by one into dark containers where Israeli commandos beat and abused them.

Yassine Benjelloun, who had previously participated in another flotilla mission, described hearing guards say “Welcome to Israel” before he was punched in the head and ribs, kicked to the ground, and left listening to other detainees screaming inside the darkened container.

French participant Adrien Berthel said he was specifically targeted after soldiers saw his nail polish and mocked his perceived sexuality.

Veronica Otero, who witnessed the processing of nearly all 180 detainees over three days, said volunteers emerged with broken ribs, fractures to the torso, shoulders, and back, adding that some “were not breathing” because of the severity of their injuries.

Volunteers also reported being photographed during strip searches while guards laughed.

According to the testimony, abuse continued after arrival at Ashdod port, where detainees described further beatings, sexual humiliation, prolonged interrogations, and torture.

The organizers said the abuse they experienced over several days reflects what Palestinians in Israeli prisons “experience every single day… for decades,” noting that more than 9,000 Palestinians are currently imprisoned by Israel, including over 3,500 held without charge under administrative detention and more than 400 children. They also cited Save the Children reporting that 69% of detained Palestinian children reported experiencing sexual violence or sexual abuse.

BIG MOTHER JONES SCOOP: There are many unresolved health/environmental concerns with glyphosate (a.k.a. Roundup), but the USG keeps letting farmers, companies and public agencies spray it all over—including, as we learned, in America’s forests.

BREAKING: Louisiana has advanced one of the cruelest anti-homeless bills in the country. It would force homeless people to choose between jail and involuntary treatment, make them pay for it, and if they can't pay, force them to perform unpaid labor. https://t.co/0J9rBRtKkA

BREAKING: The Senate just passed the legislation allowing the devastation of the Boundary Waters.

The motion passed 50-49, and now goes to Donald Trump’s desk.

The way Republicans passed this bill that prevents future administrations from issuing protections for Superior National Forest, so this pristine land will be exploited in perpetuity unless Congress intervenes to reverse this decision.

The state of Minnesota can still block the Chilean mining corporation from operating in Superior National Forest and protect the Boundary Waters from pollution.

WATCH: Israel destroyed all of the town of Al-Khiam in southern Lebanon within a month.

[Mel @Villgecrazylady]

I literally had to go see this for myself. Sure enough. Apple Maps has removed almost every town in Lebanon from the map while keeping every podunk town in Israel and Syria clearly marked.

"One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests. An area larger than Texas. The largest public land agency in the country. Just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.

And they did it with a press release on a Tuesday."

[Seth Harp @sethharpesq]

An under-appreciated but defining characteristic of Trump is that whereas other presidents were simply sellouts to the oil and gas industry, he actually hates nature. He despises its beauty and wants to see it destroyed. The existence of sacred landscapes offends his ego.

the fact that there is no mass Western response to the policy is making me feel insane. this policy is the most explicit act of institutionalized genocide since Cambodia, if not the Holocaust itself.

Kind of wild no one is talking about the fact that *as of today* oil companies can kill literally any animal in the Gulf of Mexico no matter how endangered
