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.

#NoOnLaSalle

you may have seen the viral footage of @GenesisAquinoNY getting removed by NYPD for pushing back against @GovKathyHochul’s shockingly offensive speech from the pulpit, spending her entire time comparing MLK and her conservative anti-labor chief judge nom #NoOnLaSalle

tell your senator you need them to be #NoOnLaSalle before the judiciary hearing tomorrow! p2a.co/pf9ft4o

I propose we recruit @OfficialJLD to read this transcript as Selena as a virtual fundraiser for @CCA_NY, who has led #TheCourtNYDeserves and #NoOnLaSalle to block Hochul’s anti-choice, anti-union conservative nom from a 14 year chief judge term. hellgatenyc.com/governor-hochu…
