- At least 540 Jewish students at Columbia University have signed a letter supporting Zionism and accusing Jewish students who've joined pro-Palestinian protests of "tokenizing themselves."
- The 57-year-old cousin of a prominent rabbi has been arrested for plowing his car into pro-Palestinian protesters on the Upper East Side earlier this week.
- A Harlem resident who was out walking his dog during recent protests at City College said he got caught up in a police crackdown on the sidewalk and the cops forced him to hand over his dog while they arrested him. (The protesters eventually helped him get his dog back.)
- In other canine news, Miles the mutt, a rescue dog-turned-agility specialist, is the People's Champ heading into the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.
- The city's transportation department said it plans to use some of the revenue from congestion pricing to improve the Flatbush Avenue Bus Priority lane.
- The landmarked Bronx General Post Office could be yours for $70 million.
- Check out these cute little DOT electric cargo trucks that can ride in bike lanes.
