Mobile Museum of Tolerance makes its inaugural visit to the Bay Area
The mobile museum made its debut in the Bay Area during the first week of March. Educational leaders said they are looking forward to expanding its Holocaust education outreach to other parts of California in the coming weeks.
"Here it says, 'Education is key to breaking the cycle of hatred.' It's from Simon Wiesenthal, who is the namesake of our organization. He was a Holocaust survivor and later became a Nazi hunter. And I think the key to this is just understanding that through knowledge, through education, understanding what is going on, we really can bring these cycles of hatred and discrimination that is happening in our world," Elizabeth Blair, an education associate with the Simon Wiesenthal Center, told CBS News Bay Area.
There are 10 mobile museum buses that are taking the message of the Museum of Tolerance on the road. The California bus is the newest addition, making stops across the state beginning this year.
Officials with the center are collaborating with communities and school districts across the state.
"Looking at fact versus fiction, misinformation, disinformation," Blair said.
Students from the Piedmont School District stepped into the bus, and stepped back into history last week. Blair led a session about the life of Anne Frank inside the bus.
Vlad Khaykin, the executive vice president of social impact and partnerships at the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said expanding the outreach is important now more than ever.
"They help them understand how to live in a multiethnic, multiracial democracy and these lessons help them to be better citizens, global citizens, global netizens," Khaykin said.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, in California there were more than 2,100 cases of hate crimes reported in 2023. Of that, more than 430 cases were bias against religion. Officials said hate crimes against race, ethnicity or ancestry topped the list with more than 1,100 reports.
"This is a critical moment in our country, in our world today. Hate is rising, a lot of communities are being targeted by hateful rhetoric both online and offline. And so this is one intervention, we really feel that education is one of the best schools we have to fight hate and build tolerance," Khaykin said.
"If we can use this exhibit as a tool to connect those topics to students' own lives, for students to use those lessons and to make a difference in a world around them, we've really achieved our goal with this," Blair said.
Officials also said that the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles sees more than 100,000 visitors every year. And they are looking forward to making stops across the Golden State, with the next stop in San Francisco.

Former Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley has new goal of Georgia Senate race
As the football coach at Tennessee, it often seemed like Derek Dooley was in the wrong business. Sure, he had the right surname and the right resumé to be a head coach in the Southeastern Conference, thanks mostly to his father Vince, who led Georgia to the national championship in 1980 and whose influence reached across a wide swath of college football. But when it came time to actually do the job, Derek Dooley – with his coiffed side part, fancy law degree and University of Virginia education – often seemed as if he was cosplaying the role, like he would have fit in better as a professor, an attorney or perhaps even future politician. 'Right now we're like the Germans in World War II,' Dooley said in 2010 as he descended into an infamous soliloquy comparing Tennessee's 2-5 record to the confusion of Nazi forces as the Battle of Normandy began with commanding field marshall Erwin Rommel back in Germany visiting his wife. 'Here comes the boats, it's coming, the binoculars like, 'Oh my god, the invasion is coming.' That's what they did. They were in the bunkers. 'It's coming.' They call Rommel. They can't find Rommel. 'What do we do? I'm not doing anything until I get orders. Have you gotten Rommel yet?' And the Americans were the exact opposite.' After that rant, and a few others that went viral for their sheer weirdness, you can understand why a group of young football players didn't respond to him. Dooley was fired after three seasons and a 4-19 SEC record, his legendary incompetence dragging Tennessee's proud program into a cycle of dysfunction that would last nearly a decade. Now he's got a new job that always made a lot more sense: Running for Senate. This is not a column about Dooley's politics, which in fact we know very little about other than he's running as a Republican and has a lifelong friendship with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, who encouraged him to get in the race. It is also not a column about the viability of his candidacy, either in a primary field or against Democratic incumbent Jon Ossoff. That's for voters to decide. We'll see how that all plays out over the next year. And, at least in Georgia, we have a recent example of an actual Bulldogs legend in Herschel Walker losing a statewide race. Dooley, if he's remembered for anything in Georgia, it's as the coach who had 13 men on the field for LSU's final snap from the 1-yard line in 2010, handing the Tigers the one extra chance they needed to win. Out-mangling Les Miles at the end of a game? Now that takes some talent. The point is this: Whereas sports people from Jack Kemp to Tom Osborne to Tommy Tuberville often leverage their athletic or coaching success into political gravitas, it is the fact that Dooley never belonged on a college sideline in the first place that makes his Senate run seem plausible. How bad was it? He was the first Tennessee coach to lose to Kentucky in 27 years. He lost to Vanderbilt by 23 points, the worst margin in that rivalry since 1954. He was the first Tennessee coach to suffer three consecutive losing seasons since 1909-11. And In Dooley's 2012 recruiting class, he didn't sign a single offensive lineman. Not one. For an SEC program, it's unheard of. The Vols paid for that mistake for many years to come. It was one of the most disastrous coaching tenures in SEC history. Yet anyone who has been around or interacted with Dooley understands he's a man of high intelligence, with a heavyweight education to back it up. He speaks in coherent sentences. He knows history, as he demonstrated with the World War II analogy. He even knows a little bit about infectious diseases, as he revealed in another of his greatest hits. 'We have a few staph infections, so we did a clinic yesterday on proper shower technique and soap and using a rag,' he once told the media. 'Y'all think I'm kidding. I'm serious. We have the worst shower discipline of any team I've ever been around, so we talked about application of soap to the rag and making sure you hit all your body. You can neglect it trying to cut corners and it shows in how you practice and elsewhere.' It's a fair point to make. But as with so many of these Dooley tangents that made him the butt of jokes around the SEC, his instinct to show the world he was the smartest guy in the room would have been more useful coaching Tennessee's debate team than its football program. Still, it's hard to say Dooley made the wrong choice when he left a prestigious Atlanta law firm in 1996 to join the family business. As successful as he probably would have been in any other field, Tennessee paid him $5 million just to go away. Dooley never seemed like he belonged in the SEC, but now he's reemerged to test the theory he'll be more adept at a different bare-knuckle sport than the one that takes place on Saturdays in the fall. We'll see soon whether Georgia voters agree or Dooley's home state puts one more L on his resumé.

Stock market today: Dow jumps 500 points, S&P 500, Nasdaq rally in bounce back from Friday sell-off
US stocks rebounded sharply Monday, recovering from last week's sell-off sparked by disappointing labor data and continuing trade uncertainty. The benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC) climbed 1.3%, while the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) rose 1.2% or more than 500 points. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) led the gains, rising about 1.8%. The moves follow a sharp pullback on Wall Street on Friday. All three major indexes posted their worst weekly declines in months, ending a run of positive market moves. The declines were exacerbated Friday after July's jobs report came in weaker than expected, and previous months' tallies were revised sharply lower, flipping the narrative on the labor market's strength. It led President Trump to lash out at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which publishes the monthly jobs report, and fire its commissioner. Trump suggested he would nominate a new head for the agency in the coming days. Trump's battle with the Fed and Chair Jerome Powell has also remained in focus. Traders tempered expectations around interest rate policy following the bank's decision last week to leave rates unchanged for a fifth consecutive meeting. But after the weak jobs data, almost 90% of bets are on a cut in September. At the same time, investors are examining the fallout from Trump's implementation of tariffs. The updated tariffs set to come into full effect this week range from 10% to 41% on a wide range of trading partners and raise concerns about rising costs amid broader inflationary pressures. On Monday, Trump said he would be "substantially raising" tariffs on India as he presses to stop purchasing Russian oil, effectively accusing the nation of subsidizing Russia's war in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Tesla (TSLA) stock edged higher after reports emerged that the company had granted CEO Elon Musk 96 million shares worth about $29 billion.

Coinbase stock hit with analyst downgrade citing 'limited support' for current valuation Coinbase (COIN) stock was downgraded by analysts at Compass Point, who questioned whether the crypto platform's valuation was sustainable. The analysts changed Coinbase's rating to Sell from Neutral and lowered its price target to $248 from $330 per share. The new price target represents a 21% decline from Friday's close. "While we remain constructive on the current crypto cycle, we expect a choppy 3Q alongside weak August/September seasonality and waning retail interest in crypto treasury stocks," Compass Point analyst Ed Engel wrote on Sunday night. "As such, we see limited support for COIN's valuation if crypto markets sell off further," he noted. Read more here.

Tariffs not expected to cause recession or end bull market, says UBS As President Trump's tariff policy pans out, UBS strategists signal it won't cause a recession or spell the end of a bull market. 'Our base case remains that US tariffs will eventually settle around 15%," Ulrike Hoffmann-Burchardi, UBS Global Wealth Management's chief investment officer for Americas and global head of equities, wrote in a note on Monday morning. "While this would be the highest since the 1930s, and six times higher than when Trump returned to office, we do not expect it to cause a recession or end the equity bull market." In recent days, Trump has unleashed a flurry of trade deals, including a 90-day reprieve on goods imported from Mexico and 15% tariffs on EU goods. On Friday, Trump signed an order to hike tariffs on Canada to 35%, while he kept a baseline minimum rate of 10% across all US is set to implement duties this week. Trump says he will 'substantially' raise tariffs on India President Trump said on Monday he will "substantially" raise tariffs on India. Stocks still remained in rally mode following Friday's sell-off. "India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits," Trump wrote on Monday morning. "They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine. Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA," he added. President Trump's sweeping tariffs are set to come into full effect later this week.

Goldman with a sobering view on the consumer Goldman Sachs out this morning with a subdued outlook on the US consumer following Friday's lackluster jobs report. Good read on the consumer from the WSJ today, mirrors what Procter & Gamble's (PG) CEO told me on earnings day. Goldman's chief economist Jan Hatzius: "We expect the weakness in consumer spending to continue in the second half of the year and forecast 0.8% real spending growth in 2025H2. Our view is underpinned by the expectation of a sharp slowdown in real income growth from its elevated pace in 2025H1. Income growth will be hit in Q3 by the phasing out of the one-off 2025H1 government transfer payments and in Q4 by the Medicaid and SNAP benefit cuts included in the new fiscal bill, which will take effect in 2025Q4 and affect lower-income households in particular. We also see higher tariff-driven inflation to impose a drag on real income growth in the second half of the year. Finally, we expect weak job growth due to lower immigration, cuts in government and healthcare hiring, and a tariff-related decline in activity. We expect declines in both business and residential investment in the second half of the year." Swiss stocks decline on US tariffs, push for lower drug prices Swiss stocks took a hit on Monday as the market reopened after a holiday.

Goldman with a sobering view on the consumer Goldman Sachs out this morning with a subdued outlook on the US consumer following Friday's lackluster jobs report. Good read on the consumer from the WSJ today, mirrors what Procter & Gamble's (PG) CEO told me on earnings day. Goldman's chief economist Jan Hatzius: "We expect the weakness in consumer spending to continue in the second half of the year and forecast 0.8% real spending growth in 2025H2. Our view is underpinned by the expectation of a sharp slowdown in real income growth from its elevated pace in 2025H1. Income growth will be hit in Q3 by the phasing out of the one-off 2025H1 government transfer payments and in Q4 by the Medicaid and SNAP benefit cuts included in the new fiscal bill, which will take effect in 2025Q4 and affect lower-income households in particular. We also see higher tariff-driven inflation to impose a drag on real income growth in the second half of the year. Finally, we expect weak job growth due to lower immigration, cuts in government and healthcare hiring, and a tariff-related decline in activity. We expect declines in both business and residential investment in the second half of the year."
