4 Reasons to Celebrate 4/20
Written by Stacey Khizder It's only been a little over a year than the Trump administration has been in office, and his cabinet members have already tried cracking down on marijuana use. In May, Attorney General Jeff Sessions asked Congress to give the Department of Justice authorization to prosecute those who use marijuana, even in states where it's legal. While...

Legalize Voting, Not Assault Rifles
Written by Stacey Khizder Last week, CNN held a town hall on gun laws in America following the tragic Stoneman Douglas High School massacre that killed 17 teenagers. A Florida Congressman, both Florida Senators, and an NRA spokeswoman went face-to-face with gun violence victims. Incredibly brave survivors-turned-gun-control-activists were able to boldly face their representatives and challenge them. They confronted their "leaders" on their weak,...

Un-Presidential
Written by Stacey Khizder Yesterday was President's Day, and while some people were able to use this holiday to take the day off, a student-led group called 'Teens for Gun Reform' held a lie-in outside the White House. While action from the current President is no where to be found, the students of America are taking it upon themselves to reform...

Still Not Presidential
Written by Stacey Khizder On Tuesday, Donald Trump gave his first State of the Union address as President of the United States. As Trump's behavior is usually unprecedented, his seemingly 'normal' performance for the SOTU address was unexpected. People jumped at the claim that this was the night that Trump became "presidential", even though all he did was read off a teleprompter. During his pre-written speech,...

Get Money Out
Written by Stacey Khizder What does it mean to have a fair and free election? It means that in a Democracy, an election should never be influenced by corporations spending money on politicians. It is no secret that in order to get ahead in an election, a candidate will need resources. How does one get resources that would boost them while...

An Ode to 2017
Written by Stacey Khizder Isn't it wild that there was a time this year when Barack Obama was President? That feels like forever ago. I remember entering 2017 having no idea how drastically the political climate was going to change. After spending a year and a half mocking the idea of a Trump presidency actually coming true, it was well...

Roll Tide?!
Written by Stacey Khizder I don't know about you, but I'm still celebrating the stunning victory of Alabama's Senate race from last Tuesday. It was a historic race between Democrat Doug Jones, and the racist, sexist, homophobic, child-molesting, unqualified "Republican" candidate Roy Moore. It's no secret that it is extremely difficult to elect a Democrat in the deeply red state...

Written by Stacey Khizder ALRIGHT liberals, I know you all claim to be "anti-capitalist", and want to "seize the means of production", but let's be honest. The holiday season is around the corner and don't pretend like you don't have friends and family who are going to expect holiday gifts from you this year. The class struggle is real, but...

About Thanksgiving...
Written by Stacey Khizder Last week, many of us in the United States celebrated the traditional holiday that is Thanksgiving. We went back to our hometowns, took half a week off of work and school, and ate until our pants couldn't fit. We sat around our dinner tables, giving thanks for the things that mean the most to us. However, many of...

Want To Join the Club?
Written by Stacey Khizder It drives me absolutely crazy each time I hear people referencing "that socialist Bernie Sanders". There is a big difference between socialism and Democratic socialism. Socialism is the total equal distribution of wealth, status, and political gain amongst a population, while Democratic socialism takes this idea and applies it to a Democracy. Sen. Sanders' most famous policy proposals inherit the philosophy of Democratic socialism, where...

BiC Graphics Doesn't Understand The First Amendment, Apparently
Written by Stacey Khizder Through out the primaries, the general election, and his Presidency, Donald Trump has stood for nothing but hatred, bigotry, sexism, greed, and selfishness. If BiC Graphics rejects these rightful criticisms of our President, then what do they aim to represent? If you're familiar with ShopTYT, you know that 'Bitchy Rich' and 'Jurassic Prick' are some of our original and...

The First Amendment Doesn't Protect Our Own, Or Anyone
Written by Stacey Khizder Last night, our very own Jordan Chariton and Ty Bayliss, were arrested after covering a peaceful protest against police brutality in St. Louis, Missouri. Not only is this an outrage, but it is a violation of the First Amendment. Without a doubt, the St. Louis police department violated our Constitution as soon as they decided that Americans did...

Gun Control. Now.
Written by Stacey Khizder On Tuesday night in Las Vegas, Nevada, the deadliest mass shooting in United States history took place, leaving over 50 people dead, and over 500 wounded. Right now, I am looking at Congress to treat this as one of the worst domestic terror attacks of our time, because it is. Our majority leaders will be silent...
