Today in the news, anonymous protesters vandalize the homes of Brooklyn Museum officials, among them Director Anne Pasternak, with anti-Zionist graffiti. These actions follow a massive protest at the museum earlier this month that ended with dozens of arrests and reports of police violence against demonstrators. Our reporter Maya Pontone has more about this. Also today: Jasmine Weber reviews a new book about James Baldwin, Dan Schindel interviews documentarian Yance Ford about his new film on the history of policing in the US, and Rhea Nayyar chats with filmmaker Su Friedrich in our Pride Month queer elders series.
