Mayor Adams’ campaign fundraiser tonight was crashed by protester @DorcaNYC with @PeoplesPlanNYC who criticized his rhetoric on migrants and his budget cuts. He engaged for a while, asking if SHE’D spent a night at a shelter like he has.

The New York Senate judiciary committee has rejected Gov Hochul’s anti-choice, anti-labor, anti-“dark skinned” black jurors choice for chief judge of New York, Hector LaSalle. So I guess Hochul made an ass of herself on MLK day for nothing. nytimes.com/2023/01/18/nyreg…

LaSalle Is Rejected by New York Senate Panel in a 10-9 Vote (Published 2023)

Gov. Kathy Hochul’s choice of Justice Hector LaSalle to become the state’s top judge caused an intraparty Democratic battle that divided a judicial hearing on Wednesday.

Lawmakers, academics, and advocates have already discussed why LaSalle is the wrong choice for New York on labor, repro rights, and criminal legal reform. I want to draw attention to another worrying aspect of his record: ethics and transparency (1/11).

Embarrassing that the only red wave, in the midterm elections, was in blue NY. Today the newly locked and divided congress can be placed in our faded blue laps. #ReplaceJayJacobs #FixNYDems ⁦@riseandresistny⁩ ⁦@indvsblharlem⁩ ⁦@NYGovHochul1⁩

As of this moment, I am personally spearheading a campaign to replace Jay Jacobs. New York Democrats deserve so much better, and I’ve had enough. Please DM me if you would like to help! (And yes, this means defeating @andrewcuomo once again.)

He single-handedly may have lost the house for the Democrats. He also looked the other way when Republicans spent millions of dollars to defeat ballot proposals that would’ve brought us same day registration and no excuse absentee voting like many other states.
