‘We don’t need your money:’ Brooklyn coffee shop refuses to serve U.S. Rep. Dan Goldman over his support of Israel

A Brooklyn coffee shop, Poetica, refused to serve U.S. Rep. Dan Goldman and issued a digital refund for his coffee purchase, criticizing his support for Israel during the Israel-Hamas war. The incident occurred ahead of Goldman's primary election against Brad Lander, with the shop stating they do not serve 'genocide enablers' and denying his campaign's past positive interactions at their locations.
