Antisemitic chants erupted at a San Francisco press conference Wednesday when protesters shouted "Tax the Jews" for over a minute without intervention. This wasn't policy debate—it was the weaponization of dangerous stereotypes falsely portraying Jews as wealthy and greedy.
Mayor @DanielLurie was right to call this out. When hate goes unchallenged, it emboldens extremists and normalizes antisemitism. We must stand together against hate wherever it appears.
Read Marc Levine's full statement.
I wrote this in 2016 & Daily Fantasy Sports betting still operates illegally in CA. It is time for @NBA & @MLB
to end equity stakes in FanDuel & DraftKings and all leagues to end partnerships with DFS which lend it credibility. It is just a crap shoot.

The CA Dept. of Justice just released its 2024 Hate Crime Report. 75 % of all faith-based hate crimes in the state targeted Jews —again the single most-attacked religious group in CA [CA DOJ, 2024 report, p. 13]. @AGRobBonta
.@MarcLevine of @ADLCalifornia said there was “raw antisemitism” on display at the board meeting.
“Most disturbing was that the rhetoric came from elected board members,” he said in a statement.

As my colleague @MarcLevine said, “No one should have to hide who they are to order a cup of coffee, but at Jerusalem Coffee House, antisemitism was literally on the menu.” This lawsuit demonstrates that we will not tolerate antisemitic discrimination anywhere.
Sinwar is responsible for the ensuing war he began which can come to an end when over 100 hostages including Americans and remains of murdered hostages are free. We shall pursue justice. #BringThemHomeNow
Today Yahya Sinwar faced accountability for the unspeakable horror of the 10/7 Hamas massacre of 1200 people including horrific sexual crimes and the murder of babies and grandparents.
This doesn't end until all the remaining hostages are returned, including American citizens. These are people whose families & friends were butchered on 10/7. Since that day, they have endured over a year of unimaginable brutality & suffering in Hamas captivity. #BringThemHomeNow
The surge in antisemitism that erupted after Hamas committed the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust must come to an end. Thank you to @mercnews for publishing my commentary on our path forward together.

In one email, Mike Lee made Sonoma State University a less tolerant & more hateful place with division & antisemitism that should have no place at @calstate. I am grateful for decisive leadership that brought a swift end to Lee's career.
