FDR would be a great choice for it, Teddy Roosevelt would be a generally agreeable one though.

I actually think it’s a pretty big miss that we didn’t have a $250 bill planned for the country’s 250th anniversary. Inflation makes a $250 bill reasonable.
Of course Trump on the bill is an abomination, but a $250 Harriet Tubman or Paul Revere or Sam Adams would be pretty dope.

FDR threw 100,000 Americans into concentration camps. Get his fascist ass off the dime.

We need a POC on a bill, but Teddy is pretty cool too. My third favorite Republican.

True. I’d propose WEB DuBois, but he’d probably be insulted. Nat Turner would be the most based option, you could include a line like “the struggle for freedom is the birthright of all mankind” next to his face. Though that would work with Tubman as well. Tubman is the obvious choice of course and I do hope she wins, but it’s good to also think of others who deserve to be considered.
Actually the perfect never going to happen would be Lucy Parsons

Or maybe we just stop putting faces on bills. We have all kinds of natural wonders we could put on the bills instead.

They were yuge! Yoomungus! Guys would come up to me with tears in their eyes (these were strong, burly MEN) and they would say “these bills are too big Mr. President! We need bigger pockets mr. President! Please help us!!”

John Brown is probably too cpntroversial but, damn, that’d be something to see.
