Almost finished building out the studio: camera, sound, lights, broadcast capabilities. Will be announcing a new project in the coming weeks. Image
For the gearheads: Canon C200 with L-series lenses through a Teradeck system for picture; Neumann TLM-103 into Apollo Twin X for sound; Godox lighting system for key, fill, and backlight; Samsung 75" Frame TV for city background; paper rollers for simple photo-style backdrop.
Some design comps 👀 Image
I spent 15 years as a documentary filmmaker. It's been fun to apply those skills (production, gear, editorial, design) to a new venture. Feels like my two worlds—film and politics—are coming together.

"What Rufo has been cleverly doing is cherry-picking the worst examples that he can find of lessons in classrooms or training materials for teachers and saying, 'that is CRT' ... And the thing is—it fucking worked."

Even my enemies can't help but give me the W.
John Oliver spent 28 minutes hyperventilating about the anti-CRT movement, repeating the dumbest tropes, like "CRT is graduate-level legal theory" and never taught in K-12 schools. But he's doing us an unintentional favor: the more the public learns about CRT, the more we win.
According to Democratic Party pollsters, 61 percent of swing district voters agree with the statement: "Democrats are teaching kids as young as five Critical Race Theory, which teaches that America is a racist country and that white people are racist."

"In America, I can do anything I want and I teach that to my children. And the person who teaches my little pecan-colored kids that they're somehow oppressed based on the color of their skin would be absolutely wrong and absolutely at war with me."
There are two competing philosophies right now:

• One says America is systemically racist and your skin color determines your outcomes.

• Another says America is a land of progress and you can chart your own future through your human agency.

Choose one—and choose wisely.
I've created the Critical Race Theory Briefing Book, which includes everything you need to know about critical race theory and how to fight it in your community.

Ladies and gentlemen, "The Conservative Case for Critical Race Theory."
As recently as a few years ago, French called critical race theory "racial poison" that "leads to sheer cruelty and malice." He said its practitioners were manipulative "preacher-like personalities" and its followers were "vicious" activists who even sent him death threats.
He could have been president.

Whoopi Goldberg said on television what critical race theorists have been saying in print for years.

It's the same logic with Asian-Americans: they are categorized as part of "multiracial whiteness" in order to maintain the critical race theorists' pre-conceived hierarchy of oppression, which, by definition, puts "whiteness" at the top.
The ultimate problem with critical race theory is that it's essentialist and reductive: it seeks to subordinate individuals into crude racial categories, which are used to justify its political program of race-based neo-Marxism.

This story is fake news: the book was swapped out from the 8th grade curriculum, not "banned." The board voted to find a better book for the Holocaust and said they'd even use Maus again if they don't find a good replacement.

Judd Legum is the Jussie Smollett of journalism.
The Left is always using the ratchet method of argumentation, which ends up as: "If this thing we like isn't mandatory and subsidized by the taxpayer, that's censorship/banning/fascism." It's bunk. Don't fall for it.
I personally wouldn't have a problem with my child reading Maus in 8th grade, but I respect that other communities have different preferences. The journalistic culture of the NYT shouldn't colonize the curriculum of a small school in Tennessee. Pluralism means difference.

The brilliance of Glenn Youngkin's executive order on critical race theory is that it merely clarifies and strengthens existing civil rights law.

Now the Left has to take the unenviable position of opposing the principles of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The "centrist" argument that anti-critical race theory legislation is "censorship" is bunk for the same reason. The Civil Rights Act already restricts speech in schools and workplaces. Do the centrists support abolishing it? And if not, are they, too, enemies of "free speech"?
The real innovation for the New Right is to strengthen civil rights laws to protect *all groups* and stop ceding administrative authority to the left-wing bureaucrats who dominate the existing civil rights apparatus. Youngkin is executing on this beautifully.
