Stephen Agluvak Puskas recasting “censorship”. Whose censorship is more important? When is censorship not at work in film / media / art production & circulation? When it comes to censorship you need to look at who as the power. #HomeMadeVisible @RegentParkFilm

[Queering Activism @QueerAct]

TRC? What TRC? John A Macdonald’s role in the colonial land tenure system, clearing the plains of Indigenous people, the expulsion of Asian migrants, and helping to found the residential school system makes him an “Eminent Victorian”! Nice work @UofT. https://t.co/nEuZrNxaeC

[Queering Activism @QueerAct]

I guess the satire of Lytton Strachey’s “Eminent Victorians” was lost on this @UofT crew & they decided to stick with colonialism? Here’s a petition to remind historians that history matters. https://t.co/nEuZrNxaeC

[Queering Activism @QueerAct]

4/4 Excited, for example, to see Hugh Segal take up Viswanathan & Morgensen’s special issue of Critical Race Inquiry https://t.co/njt6OuO4wr

[Queering Activism @QueerAct]

3/4 @UofT History and the JHI would never support a speaker who ignores the vast field of scholarship on Macdonald’s “pioneering” leadership in the genocidal architecture that makes up the settler Cnd state!

[Queering Activism @QueerAct]

2/4 Some settlers be like “everyone was racist back then, lay off the J Mac!” Good thing neither UofT nor Hugh Segal would pedal such #settlersplaining nonsense!

[Queering Activism @QueerAct]

1/4 Thrilled @UofT supports public talks on “Eminent Victorians of Toronto” like John A Macdonald, innovator of state racism. Looking forward to Hugh Segal’s discussions on JAM’s love for genocide and the Aryan British Americas! https://t.co/iXoAm5Ug1F

[Jas Rault @jasrault.bsky.social @raultishness]

This fundraiser is over 120k now. It’s like the more gleefully genocidal side of last year’s “cultural appropriation prize.” Stunning monstrosity. #JusticeForColtenBoushie https://t.co/KxXkxNvZN4
