Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
Around 200 Stanford University students walked out of their graduation ceremony as Google CEO Sundar Pichai began his keynote address. The walkout, organized by Students for Justice in Palestine and other groups, protested Google's ties to Israel and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Some students carried Palestinian flags and banners reading "Genocide Runs on Google."
