Trying to say something clever to promote the book, but drawing a blank. Don't let my name put you off. Buy it for the cover.

This is one of the best things I’ve read in a long time. “How Mundane are We?” by Shahen Araboghlian @ThePoliticsWand on when your people are in the news (and then are not) #Artsakh #Beirut https://t.co/I9VTHPnzit

[Mariam Avetisian @AvetisianM]

Today I woke up to this incredible news!

#TheDesireToLive won in 2 categories in @CannesWorldFilm festival 🙏 in “Best Indigenous Peoples Film” & “Best Director Documentary Feature”.

Huge thanks to @peterbahla for making this possible.

Women of color are waking up across America right now to news of Asian women murdered because of their race & gender, yet we have @mtgreenee MTG saying on the House floor right now “women are already equal” & thus don’t need the #ERA

We need an Equal Rights Amendment #ERANnow

@algalitsky What is this absolute garbage. NYC you have some work to do, get moving. If Philly can get a billboard taken down so can you. We'll help you.

Ghosts of Karabakh is out now: https://t.co/Mlqa2deFaH

At @PopularFrontCO we spent a week on the frontlines in #NagornoKarabakh / #Artsakh to see how people are living amidst the uneasy ceasefire between #Armenia and #Azerbaijan. The war has been brutal.

Watch and share.
