Interesting sports stat: The NY Yankees played their final 7 home games of the season without honoring a white supremacist with a moment of silence.

A new wrinkle in the case of a Sonoma County real estate tycoon accused of bilking nearly 200 investors out of $46 million, as it turns out most of his properties were financed by a single lender, raising questions about how much that lender knew. buff.ly/WHMn64X

Today, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition Conscience sets sail from the boot of Italy, with hopes of bringing ~70 media and medical workers to Gaza’s shores amid Israel’s blockade on international press and killing of doctors and journalists. I’m onboard reporting for Jewish Currents. More TK

They're going to kill a lot of people and claim that everyone of them was a drug trafficker, and call you a terrorist-lover if you ask for any evidence.

Hey The New York Times and Emma G. Fitzsimmons, did you change your headline, and change "Islamophobic attacks" on Mamdani to just "attacks," because Elise Stefanik and the GOP bullied you into it? Really? Why are they no longer Islamophobic attacks, as your headline originally and correctly stated?
