I wrote this a year ago as a project for my human rights class. I interviewed two survivors of the Armenian Genocide about their experiences. On April 26, people will gather in Times Square to commemorate the 100th anniversary of this tragic event. You can view their event site on facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/events/756981021040455/ On August […]

I cannot think of anything more insulting than the President […]
Read More Riots: The Language of the UnheardProtesters marched through the streets of the Lower East Side last night. I heard there were four arrests but can’t confirm. Police were very hands off and let them march to Union Square where there was a rally and open mic.
Read More #FergusonSolidarity March in NYCStanley Cohen is a lawyer who has garnered a lot of hate in the past. The reason for that is somewhat understandable, although not entirely justifiable.. He has defended members of Hamas, Hezbollah, the Syrian Government, Bin Laden’s son-in-law Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, and others who were charged with nefarious terrorism related charges. But now, Cohen […]
Read More Introducing. . .Stanley CohenBy the time I got to Zuccotti Park around 11:30 at the April 4th launch of the so-called ‘Wave of Action’, the first thing I saw was five police vans parked next to the park. The police were already there and ready; for what I have no idea, but they clearly anticipated trouble. However, amid […]
