Some higher ed organizations who are loudly circling the wagons against federal funding cuts were oddly silent or circumspect about the earlier attacks on CRT and DEI.
I wish there was a better understanding that these attacks are coming because we failed to repel those.

Academia is pretty bad at solidarity. I think the culture is one of many individuals who may happen to share building space, but rarely that those people are ever part of a team working toward shared goals - even within a single department, there is often a sense of many individuals, no whole.
In the past five years, higher ed has demonstrated that it's a soft target for right-wing culture war attacks. Too many are willing to sacrifice part of the sector to protect the rest, as parochial interests dictate. That shows weakness and guarantees a loss for the whole sector.
