Keith Boykin is a New York Times best-selling author of seven books. His latest book is Why Does Everything Have to Be About Race? 25 Arguments That Won’t Go Away (2024).
Keith studied under critical race theory founder Derrick Bell at Harvard, attended law school with future President Barack Obama, helped organize the first ever meeting between LGBT leaders and a sitting U.S. president with Bill Clinton, marched with civil rights leader Coretta Scott King in Atlanta, and traveled on a presidential delegation to Africa with the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
A graduate of Dartmouth College and Harvard Law School, Keith has taught at several colleges, including Columbia University’s Institute for Research in African-American Studies. He is a co-founder and first board president of the National Black Justice Coalition.
Keith served as a national political commentator for CNN, co-hosted the BET talk show “My Two Cents,” starred on the Showtime reality TV series “American Candidate,” worked as an associate producer of the film “Dirty Laundry,” and has appeared on numerous TV shows, including BET’s “Being Mary Jane” and ABC’s “The View.”
Keith currently writes a nationally syndicated column and produces an online video series called “Black Vote, Black Power” for Word In Black news. Born in St. Louis, he has traveled five continents, lived in 12 cities, and visited 48 of the 50 United States. He currently lives in Los Angeles.
Sam Youngman 1:17 Sam is a veteran political campaign reporter and former White House correspondent. Youngman covered the presidential campaigns of 2004, 2008 and 2012, countless U.S. House and Senate races, and the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama while working for The Hill, Reuters and other news organizations. A native of Kentucky, Youngman has a BA in journalism from Western Kentucky University and now lives in Los Angeles.
Today’s Big Stuff is a Monday through Friday newsletter for progressive Americans who want to save their democracy while making fun of people like Donald Trump Jr. and Lauren Boebert who might actually be the same, really dumb person. .
Today’s Big Stuff (TBS) was founded in early 2019 by “Ready for Hillary” creator and Democratic strategist Adam Parkhomenko and former White House correspondent and veteran campaign reporter Sam Youngman. What started as a small clip service for six people, quickly expanded as thousands of stressed out Americans searched for a news source that tells it how it is — with lots of sick jokes and cuss words.
In 2020, the more than 75,000 members of the Big Stuff community — also known as Sexy Patriots and Big Stufferinoes — mobilized along with 81 million other Americans to send Donald Trump crying back to Mar-a-Lago leaving a trail of urine along the way. And we’re just getting started.
If laughter is the best medicine, then TBS is like an injection of bleach right to the fucking face.
