Compelling thread on the removal of ugly “genocide trophy” statues. This one isn’t subtle in depicting the white hero trampling #indigenous human beings. #racist #StatuesMustFall https://t.co/5HTWOZExVz

oh my god, you can’t really see this level of detail from the ground. the person with the gun aimed at them on the backside of the statue is a woman holding a baby

@statnews I suspect @AqiiQna @WolastoqRN and other nurses may have a more nuanced perspective to share about the legacy of #FlorenceNightingale #Racism in #HealthCare #StatuesMustFall

“It’s fascinating & disturbing, the fierce backlash response to defend #WilliamOsler. Why is there such a strong reflex to keep this #monument intact & pristine?” #StatuesMustFall #Racism #HealthCare #Fighting4aHand2Hold @CMAJ @NavPersaud (@MarcoOved) https://t.co/fVgVv3CHNz

@45thabsurdist Lets donate all our fallen monuments to the Vancouver park of vanity and human error. It is in the nature of animals to walk. It is in the nature of humans to talk. It is in the nature of statues to fall over. https://t.co/SBlC2Scfez #statuesmustfall

@anticas About #statuesmustfall, returning artefacts to countries of origin, about colonialism & power, esp along these lines: https://t.co/higtDqzDI6 And being a woman scholar, I’d be interested in hearing her thoughts about feminism too.

What do monuments reveal about the past? What do we chose to remember and what do we chose to forget? Today Barbara Testini @92Babsi discusses the controversy regarding the monument to Indro Montanelli in Milan. #StatuesMustFall

We endorse the petition to remove political public art. Let a democratic process can decide what is worthy of civic honor. We support Direct Action when petitions are ignored, because #StatuesMustFall . we condemn looting and arson, as always. #PortlandProtests
