@keithboykin.bsky.socialEight people are presumed dead in the B-52 crash in California today. Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is removing portraits of Black generals and spending millions of dollars on ribeye steaks and lobster tails.
@keithboykin.bsky.socialAs Trump’s name comes down off the Kennedy Center, Americans should know this was a colossal waste of taxpayer dollars to stroke one delusional man’s ego.
@keithboykin.bsky.socialTrump promised he would bring down prices "on Day 1" if he was elected. It's now Day 506 and inflation just climbed to its highest level in three years. When Biden left office in January 2025, inflation was 3.0%. Now it's up to 4.2% because of Trump.
@keithboykin.bsky.socialApparently, Iran shot down the US Apache helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz last night while the US commander-in-chief was busy sleeping at the Knicks game.
@keithboykin.bsky.socialCBS News has fired 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley.
@keithboykin.bsky.socialA former Accenture employee is suing the company for firing him because of his dreadlocks.

@keithboykin.bsky.socialTwo Black families whose children died after they were used as test subjects in a vaccine trial without their parents’ consent have sued the federal government. Sample tissues from the boys’ autopsies were stolen to develop the RSV vaccine that is now used around the world.
@keithboykin.bsky.socialAmerica will pay reparations to anybody but Black people.
@keithboykin.bsky.socialIf the US can prosecute former Cuban President Raúl Castro for the extrajudicial killings of four people in international airspace 30 years ago, then Trump should be prosecuted for the extrajudicial killings of nearly 200 people in international waters in the past year.
@keithboykin.bsky.socialThe United States government just agreed to pay $1.8 billion to the United States president, approved by the president's own personal lawyer who represented him when he was convicted of 34 criminal counts. This is the biggest scandal in all of American political history.
@keithboykin.bsky.socialRepublicans all across the South are racing to turn back the clock, just days after the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. In Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, and Tennessee, they’ve already started the process to eliminate Black districts, Black elected officials, and Black voting power.
@keithboykin.bsky.socialLouisiana Republicans have eliminated a city clerk position in New Orleans days before a Black man was set to take office. “It’s a sad thing to see the state government repeating what happened to Black public officials during Reconstruction,” said Calvin Duncan, who was set to take office Monday.
@keithboykin.bsky.socialA Virginia judge has voided yesterday's election results redrawing the state's congressional map. This is the third time that Republican-appointed Tazewell County Judge Jack Hurley has tried to stop the redistricting, and each previous time the Virginia Supreme Court overruled him.
@keithboykin.bsky.socialDonald Trump has disinvited Maryland Governor Wes Moore, the only Black governor in America, from a bipartisan dinner for the nation’s governors. Moore is the vice chair of the National Governors Association.

@keithboykin.bsky.socialWhile you’re trying to figure out your health care costs, the Trump Crime Family is getting super rich off the presidency.
@keithboykin.bsky.socialHe’s not the problem…
@keithboykin.bsky.socialWhile Trump claims that crime is out of control in Democratic cities and blames what he calls radical leftists, NYPD reports there were zero arrests at today’s No Kings protest in New York City.
@keithboykin.bsky.socialTrump complained today that the escalator and the teleprompter at the United Nations didn't work properly, but it turns out his own crack White House staff screwed up both of them. This is the most incompetent presidential administration in modern history. Bring back DEI!
@keithboykin.bsky.socialTrump’s FBI Director, Kash Patel, is under fire for spreading misinformation about the Charlie Kirk case, undermining confidence in the bureau, forcing out the counterterrorism agent in Utah with expertise in these types of investigations, and cursing out agents for his own failures.
