What are your thoughts on the effectiveness of ?

"Protests in general yield a variety of results. Whether large-scale like the Women’s March in January or small-scale like Rosa’s, protests help garner media coverage, build community and can give activists a sense of value even when the results of an election can’t."

On most weekdays for the past year and a half, Paul Rosa has stood outside across the street from Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in Midtown holding… Read more "New Yorkers Differ on Effectiveness of Protests"

"Necks craned and cameras clicked as the man next to the stage at the Brooklyn Historical Society Tuesday night took out a glass seltzer bottle. He held it high for all to see, a relic of the not-so-distant past. And then he sprayed its contents into a glass containing milk and chocolate sauce."

“There is growing visibility of transgender people and with that growing visibility comes increased hostility,” said Ashe McGovern, legislative and policy director at the Center for Gender and Sexuality Law at Columbia Law School.

“The increased number also has probably something to do with increased reporting, as there are now more sorts of mechanisms for reporting the violence.”

About 100 people rallied in St. John’s Lutheran Church in the West Village Wednesday to mark the Trans Day of Remembrance, an annual event honoring people whose… Read more "Remembering Lives Lost Because of Anti-Transgender Violence"

"On Sunday afternoon, Blair and Anton Igudesman stood outside the Grit N Glory tattoo parlor and clothing boutique on the Lower East Side bundled against the cold as they awaited the arrival of the newest member of their family.

An van approached and parked outside the tattoo parlor. A few moments later, a beige, three-legged dog with a mix of Labrador in his genes bounded from the door despite being held back by his leash. The dog sniffed the sidewalk, the planter, the trees.

“There he is!” Blair Igudesman said. “There’s Wiggly!”"

The fourth annual "Tats 'N' Tails" event hosted by the ASPCA and Grit N Glory on the Lower East Side brought together lovers of animals and tattoos

"The painting is in rough shape – its surface worn from years of neglect and its backing ravaged by worms. Art scholars and critics have questioned its origins, and billionaires have faced off in court over it. But now Leonardo ’s “Salvator Mundi” is the most expensive painting ever sold, fetching more than $450 million at a packed Christie’s auction Wednesday night. The winning bid surpassed any sum previously paid for a work of art sold at auction by more than $100 million. The new owner remains a mystery."

"Just before he took the stage at the Apollo, standing just out of view of the sold-out house, Brooklyn-born Dwayne Johnson closed his eyes and took a deep, nervous breath. As the music started, his eyes still closed, he dropped into a four-point crouch, like a sprinter setting into the starting blocks. The 28-year-old had been thinking about this moment since elementary school. He was planning on a dramatic entrance but if he made one mistake, the famously hostile crowd was likely to tear him apart."

"In 2015, Jonathan, 20, started studying criminal justice at Borough of Manhattan Community College. He dreamed of one day becoming a lawyer. But a year later, in August 2016, that dream was in jeopardy when he said he was arrested after police caught him with eight bags of he**in and he was put on probation for criminal possession of a weapon.

Now, he is hoping for a second chance. On Thursday, Jonathan, who did not want his last name used, attended a job fair for young offenders at Bronx Borough Hall. He was willing to look at any job he could get. “Beggars can’t be choosers,” he said."
