Written by Stacey Khizder It was a year ago today, when our realities flipped upside down after a sleepless, swollen-eyed night. I remember the day perfectly. Last year, I was in my Junior year of college and most of us had exams and assignments due the next day (what type of professor assigns an exam immediately after the most crucial election of our time?!). It...

Written by Stacey Khizder How many more people have to die for the President and for Congress to start protecting their citizens? In the past 40 days, there have been 2 mass shootings in the United States, and 0 efforts from the majority leaders to come up with a solution.   On Sunday, Sutherland Springs, Texas was hit with one...

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...

Halloween eve came with news that was exciting, yet terrifying.  Yesterday, the public learned that the first charges in the Mueller Russia probe have been filed. The first wave of charges included conspiracy, money laundering, and lying for top tier Trump campaign officials, Paul Manufort and Rick Gates. Following this, George Papadopoulos, who worked as Trump's foreign policy advisor, turned himself in for lying...

Written by Stacey Khizder Last week, Sen. Bernie Sanders and organizers of the Women's March experienced a major backlash after Sen. Sanders was announced as an opener of the Women's Convention. Critics say that Sen. Sanders should not be front-lining a Women's conference, as he is a white man who is not in a major oppressed group. Other critics claim that Sen. Sanders should not...

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...

Written by Stacey Khizder Within the last week, 41 people have died as a result of a series of ravaging wildfires in Northern California, making 2017 the worst year for California wildfires on record.  The timing of this is directly aligned with the rise in global warming. This year, at least 15 different wildfires destroyed up to 5,700 homes and businesses. Also...

Written by Stacey Khizder The new Star Wars trailer is finally here.  In other news, the President of the United States is continuing to wage war against the media.  Yesterday, Donald Trump tweeted that NBC is fake news, and basically threatened to "challenge" and "revoke" the network's media license as a punishment.  Threatening the media's Freedom of the Press is extremely...

Written by Stacey Khizder After receiving criticism from Americans over his poor relief efforts in response to Hurricane Maria, Donald Trump took to Twitter to lash out against San Juan's Mayor, Carmen Yulín Cruz.  He tweeted that she has "been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump", which repeats a phrase that we've heard from Trump before: Nasty...

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...

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...

Written by Stacey Khizder Last Summer quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneeled during the national anthem to protest the systematic, institutionalized, social, and political racial oppression that is present in modern America. It's been over a year later, and NFL owners have shunned Kaepernick from their teams in response to taking the knee. Now, activists from across the country have vowed to...

Written by Stacey Khizder The GOP has one more chance to repeal and replace Obamacare, and they're taking full advantage of that.  The latest health care replacement that the Republicans are pushing is called Graham-Cassidy, and would throw roughly 33 million off of health insurance. The new bill also doesn't cover pre-existing conditions, some of which are common and potentially...

Written by Stacey Khizder While we continue to re-hash the 2016 election and make assumptions about who's running in the next Presidential election, we forget that 2018 is approximately 3 months away.  The results of the 2016 general election signifies the importance of local and state elections. When we can't rely on our executive government to lead us, we must...

Written by Stacey Khizder Over the past few weeks, North America has seen an influx of unusual and destructive natural disasters.  While Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma were putting the Southern parts of the continent under water, damaging homes, and leaving many injured and wounded, the Northwest saw an unexpected increase of severe wildfires. Meanwhile, last week, Mexico was victim...

Written by Stacey Khizder On September 13th, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) plans to introduce his long-anticipated Medicare for All bill. Shortly after, Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) announced that she will co-sponsor the bill. As this bill is going to make its way through the legislative process, it is intended to implement a single-payer health insurance system for all Americans, regardless...

Written by Stacey Khizder Jeff Sessions has announced that the Trump administration plans to rescind DACA, a program found under the Obama administration, which protects 800,000 undocumented children and young adults from deportation. As a result of ending DACA, 800,000 young immigrants who depend on the program will no longer have access to higher education education, be able to pay...
