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...

Written by Stacey Khizder Even though some areas in the United States still feel like Winter, it's officially Spring! The weather may be disproportionate, but midterm elections are definitely heating up as we come closer to November.  People often say that presentation and style is a form of speech. Politically-centered gear is a great way to show your progressive values. ShopTYT merchandise...

Written by Stacey Khizder A few weeks ago, students from coast to coast walked out of their classrooms to make a statement. In response to the tragic Parkland school shooting that left 17 people dead, student activists are demanding gun control reform. Their symbolic and sudden absence from their classrooms has caught many people's attention. Gun control is a highly controversial...

Written by Stacey Khizder For the last two years, we’ve been hearing a lot about the resistance. In order to stand up to Donald Trump, the majority of Congress, and the bigots of America, we’ve been told that we need to resist. Since Donald Trump’s Inauguration, the resistance movement has made its presence loud and clear. However, as we’re in another...

Written by Stacey Khizder The 90th Academy Awards will be held this Sunday, March 4th, and will be hosted by late night TV show host Jimmy Kimmel.  In every great movie, there is always a storyline that can be resonated with, or one that touches on political tones from the past and present. The nominations for the awards do exactly that. 'Get...

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,...

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...

Written by Stacey Khizder Valentine's Day is many things. To some, Valentine's Day is a celebration of love. To others, it's an over-exaggerated marketing holiday. However way you may feel about February 14th, your partner is still expecting a sign of affection.  This Valentine's Day, Shop with TYT for your progressive, TYT-watching, politics-loving significant other... even if that person is yourself! ...

Written by Stacey Khizder Before I started working for TYT, I was only a fan. I would watch the live show in full, as often as I could. If not, I would catch up by hooking my phone up to the bluetooth in my car, and listen while driving (I still do this). As a government and politics major, I...

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,...

Written by Stacey Khizder The arts have always been political. Given the sensitive time period we're living in, I'm happy to see more celebrities speak out against racism, sexism, bigotry, climate change, and socio-economic inequality. It's great to see members of Hollywood using their platform to support the Resistance, but not when their message is filled with hypocrisy.   On Sunday, the Grammy Awards felt like a...

Written by Stacey Khizder January 20th was the first anniversary of Donald Trump's Presidency. Ironically, the U.S. government shutdown on the same day... but 'the people' didn't.  On Saturday, the Women's March had its second debut. All over the country, people marched in support of intersectional feminist rights and in protest of the people, policies, and norms that divide us. In...

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...

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...

Written by Stacey Khizder Up to 200,000 people had to evacuate, hundreds of homes have been destroyed, about 500 acres of land were burned, and one person died because of the Skirball fire. An illegal cooking fire is what sparked this catastrophe but let's not pretend like we don't know what really caused this. Global. Warming. While the West Coast has...

Written by Stacey Khizder Those who are fans of Senator Bernie Sanders know that he released an entire album in the 80s.  I'm sure that Sen. Sanders is a great musician, however, he just got nominated for a Grammy in the spoken word category for his audio version of "Our Revolution", a book he released succeeding his 2016 Presidential run.  Although...

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...

Written by Stacey Khizder Yesterday, TIME finally announced their person of the year. Or people, to be more accurate. ‘The Silence Breakers’ are on this years’ cover, and it’s sending a powerful message that ‘modern society’ needs to listen to. ‘The Silence Breakers’ are the brave victims of sexual assault, harassment, and/or rape who have come forward against their abusers....

Written by Stacey Khizder Think about this: how much time do you think you spend on the internet each day? How heavily does your work, school, and social life rely on the internet? Each aspect of my life is online. Most of my work depends on the Internet, my homework is released on a website, and I spend hours scrolling...
