1?? Defining symbol: Mexico’s green, white and red flag has been a common sight at the protests in Los Angeles as demonstrators express solidarity with immigrants and denounce the ICE raids. The brandishing of Latin American flags in the US has a long and complex history.
2?? Dicey outlook: Global economic growth is on track for its weakest decade since the 1960s, according to a new analysis. The World Bank cited US President Donald Trump’s trade war as a major factor weighing on economies worldwide.

5?? Skygazing: Keep an eye out tonight for June’s full strawberry moon as well as the Milky Way and multiple planets. This will be the lowest full moon visible from the Northern Hemisphere in decades due to a phenomenon called a major lunar standstill.
