Congratulations to all the bankers, hedge-fund managers, private-equity honchos, tech titans, corporate executives and op-ed writers for backing the man who will do more to undermine the system that made them insanely wealthy than any other presidential candidate in their lifetimes.

“Public service sometimes requires standing firm in the face of threats.”

Today’s march took the same Fifth Ave route as the 1917 anti-lynching Silent Parade, one of the first American civil rights protests. Both started at 59th, by General Sherman’s statue, and headed downtown. For more on the Silent Parade: hyperallergic.com/naacp-silent...
Black protest marchers proceed down Fifth Avenue in 1917, dressed in white, led by drummers. A flag reading “Love” flies next to a golden statue of General Sherman People chanted “Shame” when we got to the Trump abomination on Fifth Ave. Colorful signs abounded, like this one that says, “We wanted Huddled Masses, not Hooded Assses"
