"The organization is led by Russ Vought, a former Trump administration official who became involved in anti-CRT efforts during the Trump administration... part of his role was to implement the president’s executive order banning funding for CRT and other diversity training."
"Vought’s nonprofit has become the behind-the-scenes leader in the battle over CRT being fought in churches and school boards around the country. Observers worry that this recent spate of school board interruptions by a few zealots will change the discussion about race..."
"and racial justice — any mention of either will now become labeled as CRT, and any policies for addressing racial inequities will be rejected because of that label."
"One of the more outspoken, well-known local anti-CRT critics to appear at various school board meetings is Kevin Whitt..."

I ran into Whitt at a White Lives Matter rally in Fort Worth. It was outnumbered by counterprotesters. He wasn't counterprotesting.

They moved him into the alley after I started taking photos and video Image

Not long ago, Longview became the center of controversy for a planned gathering of white supremacists. Longview and the surrounding area have long been a place where members of the Ku Klux Klan would gather and spread propaganda. ImageImage
The dispatching of dozens of police officers to a mutual aid soup drive organized by explicit anti-fascists is... Interesting to say the least.

Perhaps it has something to do with the "soup for my family" meme

The strange saga continues. Mrs. Star Williams does not endorse the framing of this photo which was taken at a public event.
Notably, this isn't the first time Dallas Justice Now has lied about the involvement of a local Black leader. They claimed a professor was a part of their advisory board. He refuted any connection to the group.

Big thanks to @rebeldotcom for taking action on this.
Joey Camp's latest doxxing website domain has been taken down.
Let this stand as an example. This is what happens when fools decide to mess with me and my family in retaliation for simply doing my job.

I'm at the Dallas Police Oversight Commission meeting. Packed agenda this evening.
Should be a lot of interesting discussion. Among the items is a review of Dallas Police protest policies.
Presently, item of discussion is regarding Senior Corporal Joseph Dillard, who has been involved in over 100 use of force incidents between 2013-2019. Here's a (bad quality) photo of the graph based on open portal data.
