I shared this with some folks yesterday: The academy's inaction protecting Black scholars and scholars that study issues related to Black people paved the way for everything else.
What comes for Black folks will inevitably land on your doorstep too. If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready.

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.

And NOT LEAST—we should protect Black scholars and Black studies *because they are valuable in and of themselves*,
lol the academy thought that Black scholarship was disposable and found out quickly how the right views them.
