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...

Medicare For All... It's Time
Written by Stacey Khizder Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. I never understood why the GOP had an issue with determining healthcare as a right when their entire platform preaches "pro-life". It never made sense to me why moderate Democrats don't see single-payer healthcare as the only viable option for Americans. I certainly cannot explain why mainstream cable media completely...

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...

Gift Giving Guide
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.

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...

My First TYT Shirt
Written by Stacey Khizder My first TYT shirt has brought me luck since the first day I got it. Last year, before the 2016 general election, The Young Turks was on tour with Fusion, hosting multiple live shows on America’s colleges and universities. Back then, I was just a fan of TYT. I watched the two hour live show religiously, as...

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...

You Know You're Bitchy Rich When...
Written by Stacey Khizder On Wednesday, President Donald Trump told the New York Times that he thinks young people, or by his definition, 21-year olds, pay $12 a year for health insurance. As a fellow millennial, I don't think I'd complain if I had to pay that little. The reality is that most 21-year olds pay roughly $140 dollars a...

The Resistance Is Working
Written by Stacey Khizder Last night, Republican efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare came to a halt. After Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell stated that the installment of Trumpcare will not be successful, Sen. Moran (R-Kan) and Sen Lee (R-UT) simultaneously tweeted that they will not be supporting the new healthcare bill. This means that there are no longer enough votes...
