Blogger Detained at JFK

Hanna Ingber Win — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 20:34:41 +0000

Three Egyptian bloggers spent a week with us at the HuffPost’s OffTheBus. One of them, Ahmad, got detained at JFK airport as he tried to leave New York for his next stop in Austin. He did nothing wrong, other than have an Arabic name. Once the U.S. officials freed him, and he bought a new [...]

I Heart Goshen

Hanna Ingber Win — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 01:31:15 +0000

Check out The Goshen Chronicle … Goshen — The Orange County Board of Elections was singled out for kudos in the national media this week, when a columnist for the Huffington Post commended election commissioners for going the extra mile to get her an absentee ballot. Hannah Ingber Win was working on election coverage for the Huffington [...]

New Yorkers Count Too

Hanna Ingber Win — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 02:08:56 +0000

This was cross-posted on the Huffington Post. I was so close to writing a post explaining why during this historic election I wasn’t going to vote. Well, I wanted to write about it but didn’t because of all the potential finger-pointing. (Not that I tend to be one who shies away from controversy.) Our society does [...]

Powell Takes a Stand Against Anti-Muslim Bigotry

Hanna Ingber Win — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 18:56:54 +0000

Colin Powell devoted almost two minutes of his seven-minute explanation for why he has endorsed Barack Obama to denouncing leaders in the Republican party and others who have spewed anti-Muslim hate speech throughout this campaign. It’s a shame that it has taken this long for such a prominent Republican politician to weigh in on this issue. [...]

Is Muslim The New Queer?

Hanna Ingber Win — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 16:56:26 +0000

The U.S. presidential election has led to fairly significant debate on black-white race issues as well as gender politics. This campaign has triggered passionate hatred for Muslims and Arabs in this country, and yet that form of racism and prejudice has barely been discussed. Just yesterday an elderly woman at a campaign event with John McCain [...]

A Makeshift Synagogue and Me

Hanna Ingber Win — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 05:18:56 +0000

I am not sure what my family or my synagogue did to me while I was growing up, but I have such a soft spot in my heart for my religion. I don’t think I believe in God, and I can never keep the stories of Jacob and Isaac and that coat of many colors [...]

OffTheBus — Palin Did Not Implode

Hanna Ingber Win — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 19:27:01 +0000

I have been working at the Huffington Post’s OffTheBus section for the past month. We cover the U.S. presidential campaign by enlisting citizen journalists, professional journalists, students, professors, doctors, teachers, and just about everyone else to write ground-level reports on the campaign. Yesterday, OffTheBus writers from across the country (and a couple in Canada) went to [...]

“Mom” for Vice President!

Hanna Ingber Win — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 21:45:37 +0000

Check out my blog on the Huffington Post today: Watching Sarah Palin accept the Republican nomination for vice president, all I could think was that I am so grateful my mother did not run for president or VP while I was a baby. This is hardly good judgment on Palin’s part. Such a sentiment is surely anti-feminist [...]

Oped in Hartford Courant

Hanna Ingber Win — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 05:47:19 +0000

Check out my personal essay in the Hartford Courant this Wednesday. It’s about driving cross country and learning about the presidential campaign and American culture from the radio shows along the way. It was on the Los Angeles Times/ Washington Post wire and also ran in the Chicago Tribune. My husband and I just finished driving [...]

Fire and Naturalization Applications
