A citizens-led impeachment effort is based on two parts of the Constitution. • 1st Amendment: "the right of the people...to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" • Article I Section 2 Clause 5: "The House of Representatives...shall have the sole Power of Impeachment"

You may be asking "what next?" after millions protested against Trump yesterday. The next step has to be one that moves us toward actually stopping Trump. Under the law, our only option is impeachment. To get to impeachment, we need the House to act. To get the House to act, we must tell them to.

The New York Times, like many other for-profit media companies, knows that Trump will go after them if they cover him negatively. Their fundamental interest is in generating revenue for their shareholders, not reporting the truth, so when those objectives conflict you get this.

#nokings rebranded to ‘no tyrants’ here in the UK 🤣 but still a good, energizing, and dedicated crowd in the Edinburgh rain outside the US Consulate! @indivisible.org I put in a word for @citizensimpeachment.com when they passed the mic around too

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

Agree on both points. 1) States control most criminal prosecutions. Calif state charges for physical assault OF A US SENATOR in state's biggest city. 2) Dems in US Senate need to stand up on this one. This didn't happen even in days Faubus/Wallace/Maddox/Bull Conner resisted fed authority in 60s

Violence against political opposition is a sure sign of democratic collapse. We are in very dangerous waters. Everyone must resist now.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Shame on my rep @pettersen.house.gov for expressing gratitude towards the lawless kidnappers of ICE! You need to be defunding Trump’s fascist goon squad, not praising them!

We at @citizensimpeachment.com advocate for impeachment not because we are frustrated with current events. We advocate for impeachment because *that is what the Constitution instructs us to do* when faced with High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
