Nice exit interview with @HCPrezEmerita Jennifer J. Raab in @CityAndStateNY on why she will always “bleed purple.” #MihiCuraFuturi

Today's decisions from the Supreme Court on Affirmative Action represent a significant setback for Civil Rights in the U.S. and are a cornerstone of the conservative movement's coordinated effort to roll back access to opportunity for systemically marginalized Americans.

Congrats to @JennMcClellanVA who was a patron of the ERA in Virginia!
This historic win makes her the first Black woman to represent Virginia in the U.S. House. We are excited to have another champion for equality in Congress fighting for constitutional gender equality!

Bobbi Wilson, 9, was hunting for spotted lanternflies in New Jersey when a neighbor called the police on her. But Wilson's efforts to eradicate the bugs has been widely praised, landing her collection in the archives of the Yale Peabody Museum. https://t.co/jt0FY4eFMS

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

Today the legislature again passed the Equal Rights Amendment, allowing for it to come before New York voters next year.

Together, we will ensure no one is denied equal protection under the law on the basis of their identity & protect reproductive rights for generations to come.

[Julie Wood @juliewood]

The @NYDNOpinions ed board:

“Progressives in New York … seem to think that Gov. Hochul has nominated a right wing nutjob to be chief judge of the Court of Appeals ...
They must be looking at a different Hector LaSalle.”

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

Justice Hector LaSalle is a highly qualified, highly experienced judge who is committed to upholding New York’s progressive values of fairness, equality, & freedom.

He deserves a fair process as the State Senate considers his nomination for Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals.

@Latinos4LaSalle @NYSenate @errollouis @Telemundo @Univision @WNYC @NYDailyNews @nytimes @NYAmNews @QueensChronicle @QueensLedger It's finally time that Judge LaSalle is being given a forum. It's clear the opposition is the Emperor's clothes, Nothing real!

[Erica G. for Class President @EG10029]

Quiet the rowdy Latinos.
Attempt to deny LaSalle a hearing.
Pack the committee.
Say no to experts testifying.

[LatinosForLaSalle @Latinos4LaSalle]

Judge #HectorLaSalle is enjoying much applause from the audience. Chair issues directive-

"No more applause. We have sergeant at arms stationed at the door. They know what to do."

"I personally strongly believe in a woman's right to make her own reproductive decisions," -chief judge nominee Justice Hector LaSalle, in opening statement

[LatinosForLaSalle @Latinos4LaSalle]

This is what support for #ConfirmLaSalleNow looks like!

[Joseph Spector @JoeSpectorNY]

LaSalle going right after critics, saying he stands on the shoulders of other Latino pioneers.

"Our goal must be to provide equal justice for all," he says, saying too often the courts have marginalized communities.

[Erica G. for Class President @EG10029]

So now the Puerto Rican Chief Judge nominee is lacking in "intellectual clout."
Remember when Harvard Law Prof. Laurence Tribe wrote that Sotomayor was not smart enough? This anti Boricua trope -that we're inferior- is colonial and racist.

Im listening.

[Luis Sepúlveda @LuisSepulvedaNY]

Listen to an honest discussion on Judge LaSalle. It takes apart most of the outright lies and misinformation on the Judge. https://t.co/pbPI6tO0qi

[Erica G. for Class President @EG10029]

The demand that no ex-prosecutors be elevated to the bench is, for some, an exercise in goalpost-
shifting that did not apply to Sonia Sotomayor, an ex-prosecutor whose tenure on the U.S. Supreme Court has featured reliably liberal votes... - .@errollouis

[State Senator Luis Sepúlveda @nysensepulveda]

Now more than ever! My support for the appointment of Judge Hector LaSalle and my call for him to be treated with respect. I publicly ask that the Judge be allowed to be evaluated on his qualifications in a confirmation hearing. It is the rule and it is the right thing to do!
