Omg the transcript of @GovKathyHochul invoking MLK this weekend to curry favor for her conservative chief justice nom is here and it’s an Onion article, omg. #NoOnLaSalle 
in addition to this patently ridiculous and offensive statement, one of the main reasons there is such opposition is that this man ruled it was chill to remove people with “dark colored” skin from juries, aka literally judge them by their skin color #NoOnLaSalle
Omg y’all, you have to read the whole thing. I thought maybe there was like an offhand comment—THE ENTIRE SPEECH is about MLK and Hector LaSalle!! This is STUNNING.

With the @nytimes writing a news article about #NoOnLaSalle and some shady coalition paying for advertisements (!) on behalf of LaSalle, I am reminded of the major power imbalance in this fight. (1/5)
The editorial and news teams at @nytimes have ignored our calls for coverage of New York courts for *years.* Now they wade in and interview several institutional pro-LaSalle figures and *none* opposed. I wonder who put them up to that piece? (2/5)
Meanwhile after attacking advocates over how this was supposed to be a “non political” process (?), I am seeing paid ads asking for folks to call their senators to urge LaSalle’s confirmation. I wonder who is paying for these and what they think about politicization? (3/5)
