Joe Biden is working towards putting Harriet Tubman on $20 notes after Donald Trump delayed the move.

The Obama administration had wanted to replace Andrew Jackson with the American abolitionist on the notes but it went nowhere during the Trump Administration.

 

“I was here when we announced that, and it was very exciting, but it hasn’t moved forward yet, which we would have been surprised to learn at the time,” said White House press secretary Jen Psaki.

“The Treasury Department is taking steps to resume efforts to put Harriet Tubman on the front of the new $20 notes.

Can't have priorities at different levels? With different goals?

Doesn't help blacks or solve a single thing for them. It's encouraging that more blacks in my own family see this dangling carrot for what it is. If this was of any substantive meaning it could've been done ages ago but instead dragged out in a way to create this artificial tug of war for something that doesn't matter at all in the grand scheme of things.

Maybe putting Tubman on the bill doesn’t do anything, but there are plenty of people who want to see Jackson off for his crimes against indigenous people. If he has to go, someone needs to replace him, why not Tubman? It would be great to not just have white men on the money, but getting Jackson off of it, I feel, is more of the underlying motivation.

Andy Ngo should definitely be on it.

Unfortunately the US is still a democracy and Andy is sympathetic to facism, even to the point of lying.

I am not a fascist , 

 

and I say Andy Ngo is a liar, not a journalist (despite duping what you call the Mainstream Media). He has made a career out of posting inflammatory tweets which rial folks into conflict and violence, that he captures and tweets which propogates even more violence.

 

He is a troublemaker that is only interested in creating conflict that he can capture to benefit his proviolence ecosystem and cares nothing for the people of Portland.

So journalists are fascists and rile people up by posting what people are doing.

 

That's actually the exact argument made by Antifa and BLM themselves as per their justification for beating journalists to a pulp, giving them death threats, and harassing elected officials not to publicize arrest information. It would be less waste of text to just tell people "I agree with Antifa/BLM".

The conservative op-ed website Quillette announced Monday night that controversial right-wing writer Andy Ngo is leaving his job as an editor at the site, an announcement that comes on the same day that a Portland newspaper published a story revealing that Ngo witnessed a far-right group planning violence but never reported it. 

Ngo, a photographer who was until recently a sub-editor at Quillette, became a celebrity on Fox News and other pro-Trump media outlets after he was attacked by left-wing demonstrators at a Portland political rally in June. Ngo then became prominent as an opponent of political violence, with most of his criticism aimed at the left.

I think it would be a lot shorter to just say "I agree with Antifa/BLM".

I agree with BLM because saying Black lives don't matter is something I don't agree with.

 

I don't support the tactics of Antifa.

Whoever said black lived don't matter?  Of course if anyone says what the mentality really should be, they immediately get labeled.

Far more journalists report sympathetically to Antifa and BLM, and it doesn't take much imagination to wonder how many report them to police during their riots, assuming they're even allowed. I'm gonna go with a number close to zero. 

 

All this is, is a methodology to try and intimidate people into not reporting what others are doing, particularly if it isn't reported with a preferred narrative of a certain group. It's exactly what Antifa and BLM do, which you are overtly (as in unequivocally) supportive of.

Andy Ngo only reported on the issues that he wanted to report on and ignores those that didn't serve his purpose.  I can agree with that but, this is the problem with pretty much all of our "journalism" now.  The news/media don't report the news to the public, they report the news that they want the public to know.  It's interesting that almost all of my friends, they happen to lean a little left, have no idea what happened in Portland.  It was never in the real news, except when they were able to blame Trump.  They remember Trump caused some riots and that's it.  They assume the riots are over and, if you watch the mainstream news, why wouldn't they think that?  What Andy Ngo does can't be any more wronger than what the rest of the news does.  

 

The lack of journalistic integrity probably worries me more about our country than any other issue.
