foxbusiness.com/markets/google-fires-28-employees-involved-googlers-against-genocide-sit-corporate-headquarters
Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests
- Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.
- The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.
- No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."
- The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

Quick Glance: Majority of Seattle-area Renters Report Significant Rent Increases in Past 12 Months
- While rents in the Seattle area and nationally surged in the early pandemic years, the rental market seems to have calmed since 2023, providing some relief to local tenants.

nytimes.com/2024/04/16/us/planned-parenthood-firebomber-sentenced.html
Quick Glance: Former Marine sentenced to 9 years in prison for firebombing California Planned Parenthood clinic
- A former marine was sentenced to nine years in prison by the Justice Department on Monday after using a Molotov cocktail to attack a Planned Parenthood clinic in Costa Mesa, California. Chance Brannon, along with his co-defendant Tibet Ergul, plotted attacks on the clinic and a potential target on the power grid in 'furtherance of a race war.'
- Brannon, 24, pleaded guilty in November 2023 to being involved in a conspiracy, malicious destruction of property by fire and explosives, possession of an unregistered destructive device, and intentionally damaging a reproductive health services facility in violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.
- Planned Parenthood clinic attacks were abandoned due to law enforcement actions. Brannon was motivated by neo-Nazi ideology and planned further violent attacks. The National Abortion Federation reported a sharp increase in violence at abortion clinics in 2022.
- Brannon and Ergul also had plans to conduct an attack using a remote-detonated device during an LGBTQ+ pride event at Dodger Stadium, but were arrested two days prior. Before the arrest, Brannon even planned to rob Jewish individuals living in the Hollywood Hills.

usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2024/04/12/shohei-ohtani-interpreter-ippei-mizuhara-charges-court-16-million/73304065007/
Quick Glance: Ippei Mizuhara Remains Free Despite Bank Fraud Charges on $25,000 Bond
- Former interpreter for baseball star Shohei Ohtani from the Los Angeles Dodgers surrendered to authorities and later appeared before the U.S. District Court.
- Ippei Mizuhara turned himself in on Friday and was subsequently released on an unsecured $25,000 bond, commonly referred to as a signature bond. This arrangement allowed Mizuhara to secure his release without needing to provide any cash or collateral.
- United States Magistrate Judge Maria A. Audero also stipulated that Mizuhara must undergo treatment for his gambling addiction related to the sports betting scandal. Prosecutors alleged that he exploited his personal and professional connection with Ohtani to steal over $16 million from the player's bank account by occasionally posing as Ohtani to bankers to cover his gambling expenses.
- On Friday, Mizuhara only responded to the judge's inquiries by answering 'yes' when Audero asked him if he comprehended various aspects of the case and his bond conditions.
