Harriet Tubman on the 20$ Bill?

Jacob McMakin     https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/05/22/harriet-tubman-20-bill-no-longer-coming-in-2020.html

     Got any cash, take a look, kind of looks all the same, doesn’t it?  That’s because only a select gender and ethnicity is represented on the currency of a country who calls its self a “melting pot”. In 2016 it was proposed that the 20$ should be replaced with a more fitting and deserving figure, other than the alcoholic, Andrew Jackson.  Tubman seemed fitting, and after thousands of requests by people in power and the public, it was decided that she would be represented.  The original printing date was supposed to coincide with the 100 year anniversary of the passing of the 19th amendment, giving women the right to vote.  Just recently it has been announced by Treasury Secretary, Steve Mnuchin, that the date has been pushed back 8 years due to lack of enthusiasm by President Trump.  Trump quotes on this matter calling it “pure political correctness”, of corse to be taken not by women and people of color as anything to do with “political correctness, but yet equal representation.  Throughout American history women, especially of color, have been pushed quite literally to the back.  Even after the civil rights movement of the 50’s and 60’s, rights have been granted, but equality has not.

Sugar bear is Halo's ( Tati's brand) biggest competitor, In the video, Tati mentions the way James has forced himself towards straight men, him being manipulative, immature and not knowing how to "grow up."

Supreme Court's Decision on Census Could Altger American Politics- Hannah Rodriguez

The United States Census is a head count taken every ten years of all the people living in the United States. The data from the census determine many federal and state decisions, but one of the most important is how many seats in congress will be assigned to the states. Arguments about the next census ask if they will be mainly American citizens. Would having non-citizens of the united states being counted be a problem for the country?
