“As someone pointed out on a related thread, theyd better get those slave-owners off the money...”
With respect to currency and coinage I suggest return to the days when lady liberty adorned our coinage and we did not pay tribute to politicians and other dead historical figures on our money. In those days our coins and paper money were works of art and the images were not tied to any political or social agenda.
Even the iconic Indian head image on the late 19th century penny, and iconic Indian head on the early 20th century nickel would be better than the current faux fight over honoring dead white people. It is interesting when we honored Native Americans 100 years ago on our coinage it had nothing to do with making statements about race or social equality and everything to do about honoring our national heritage.
Personally I have no problem with honoring the founding fathers on our money but I don’t want to spend the next five years listening to the rhetoric and ending up with the figures on our coins and paper money representing some progressive idea of social and racial justice. Better to promote the concept “liberty” on which our nation was founded. Certainly feminists should be happy the figure representing liberty would be a female.
How far we’ve digressed in 100 years.
No let’s make them completely inoffensive - just a number on one side and “USA” on the other...

Trans before we knew of it.
First off, each paper denomination should be a different color, the way Canada does it.
America is much more than dead presidents, and I've always been suspicious of the Progressives worship of the imperial presidency. So let's set up some ground rules.
So lets set up our first non-presidential series.
For lower denominations, I'd like to follow the example of Canada and use coins for $1 and $2. I can live with the Sacajawea image because no one knows what she looked like, and before we started putting dead presidents on our coins in 1909, we always used female or Indian depictions of Liberty. The image fits both rules.
I have my own ideas about replacing dead presidents on our coins, but I'll save that for another time.

“We need to turn this on liberals. When someone wears a Che shirt or a Black Lives Matter hat or something with some other left-wing icon, file a complaint. This is the only way to get this to stop, unfortunately.”
We cannot turn it on leftists (I refuse to call them liberals). The fix is in: leftism is based upon hypocrisy - so selective application of the rule of law is inherently necessary to distort and destroy existing culture.
This is exemplified by the obviously false assertion that a “black” cannot be racist in action, while a “white” can only be racist in action. Objective reality is irrelevant to communism.
That is why the Supreme Court can make its ludicrously irrational rulings about things like marriage, and yet be treated by the media as though they are the sage pronouncements of a divine oracle.
We do not have impartial rule of law anymore. The government has declared war on Western Civilization, European Culture, American History, and Biblical Christianity.
Anyone who hates those will be given a pass - or a token wrist slap.
We were able to turn the Independent Counsel law (which was unconstitutional) on them. Turning it on them is the only way it stops.
