The Supreme Court is ending its term with a flurry of consequential decisions. Our lead story offers insight on United States v. Rahimi, a Second Amendment gun rights challenge that the justices ruled on today. You can find updates on other cases in our news briefs.

And don’t miss our report from Haiti. It echoes a phenomenon you find in many areas torn by conflict: a persistent commitment to educating the rising generation, no matter what. Even amid gang violence, street fighting, and displacement, Collège Florian Ganthier is doing everything it can to connect young people with books and lessons that will point the way to a brighter future.

People watch the sun rise at Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England, June 21, 2024, a day after the summer solstice. About 15,000 people gathered at the 5,000-year-old site to celebrate the longest day of the year, which event Deputy Chief Constable Craig Dibdin described as “really successful, good humored.” That was a relief after environmental protesters sprayed the stones Wednesday with orange powder paint. Experts were able to remove the material without damage to the stones.

A look ahead

Thanks for being part of the Monitor community this week. Come back Monday, when Howard LaFranchi will report from a Ukrainian village once occupied by Russian forces, where resident Staryi Saltiv straddles two outlooks: hope for a better future and trepidation that Russian troops could return.

And we’ll leave you with a bonus read: Hawaii is the latest place where youth-led activism is resulting in new efforts to tackle climate change – a trend known to Monitor readers from our Climate Generation series.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
