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.

mercurynews.com/2024/04/18/lawsuit-arrested-leigh-teacher-forced-student-to-have-abortion/
Quick Glance: Allegation: Arrested Teacher Coerced Student to Abort
- Shawn Renee Thomas, 56, of Los Gatos, was arrested in March 2024 on suspicion of engaging in a sexual relationship with a student while serving as a teacher at Leigh High School in San Jose in the early 2000s. In a recent lawsuit, the accuser alleges that he compelled her to terminate a pregnancy that arose from their illicit sexual connection.
- The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe in legal documents, claims that she found herself pregnant in 2003 at the age of 15 and Shawn Thomas insisted on her undergoing an abortion. This detail is outlined in the lawsuit filed against Thomas and the Campbell Union High School District.
- Furthermore, Doe asserts that Thomas' wife, who was a dean at the school during the events, nearly caught them engaging in sexual activity in a classroom. Upon informing Sarah Thomas about her pregnancy later on, the lawsuit states that the dean shifted blame onto her, and no report of her husband's sexual misconduct suspicions was made to authorities by anyone at the school.
- The accuser brought the abuse allegations to the attention of the San Jose police in early March, triggering an investigation that led to Thomas' arrest on March 22. Charges of rape, sexual penetration of a minor, and five counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a minor have been pressed against him.
