god andrew jackson is staying on the back of the twenty

this is brilliant. as you hold one of these crisp new bills in your hand, on one side you’ll see the vibrant revolutionary undercurrent of american history, and on the other side you can see the genocidal white supremacist reactionary element

and as you turn it over and over, admiring the tenth of a millimeter of cotton-linen paper separating harriet tubman from andrew jackson, you come to understand the way in which america reconciles these seemingly dialectically opposed forces: it turns them both into money
