Citizens' Impeachment: in your inboxes right now are instructions for tomorrow's action.

We will be contacting Congress and asking if they are ready to support impeachment for treason.

If just 1% of the United States sent an email to their reps, it would shock our political system into action.

Impeach, convict, and remove this tyrant who should be nowhere near anything even resembling leadership.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

That’s an impeachable offense.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Checking in once again on Portland, where ICE continues to confront the elite antifa cosplay squad. Frog has called in reinforcements, he is now joined by Unicorn, Dinosaur, Raccoon, and Bear.

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.

Absent the structure of federalism, this would be an unambiguous act of aggression. And POTUS eliminated any ambiguity last week at Quantico, when he looked all his generals in the face and said, “this is a war.” He’s told us what these moves mean: he’s levying war on the United States. It’s treason

We have to hold the line
We have to have self-control.

It is emotional work.
It is exhausting.

We are really angry.
It's a normal human response
to be angry,
when you are looking at injustice,
when you see what they are
doing in this country
and around the world
is terrible, it's awful.

It cannot be made plainer than this. In word and deed, the President and the Secretary of Defense are actively, intentionally, levying war against the American people, American cities and their political opposition.

Another great thread from our co-founder Keira Havens @highcountryrose.bsky.social about Article II: Treason --- why we wrote it, what it's about, and how you can help.

Keira Havens @highcountryrose.bsky.social · 1d

This is the SECOND article that we've had to write to capture the extent of the crimes committed against the United States by President Trump. It is also the first article of impeachment to also name a civil officer - Secretary of Defense Pete Hesgeth.

RESOLVED, that Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, and Peter B. Hegseth, Secretary of Defense are impeached for Treason, and that the following article of impeachment be exhibited to the Senate:
Article of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, against Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, and Peter B. Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against them for Treason:

If a member of Congress introduces it under Rule IX, then yes.

(Remember that impeachment is a political action, not a legal one.)

If you want to know how out-of-touch Congress is, I got a response from my rep regarding my panicked call about ICE (a business day before the @citizensimpeachment.com call!). I got a boiler plate response mentioning Padilla and LA. Which happened four months ago.

Wake up, Congress!

This is so incredibly on point from @aaronrosspowell.com

Rather than the zoomed-out thinking needed for a threat this large and immediate, these organizations share a zoomed-in perspective. A narrowing of the range of concern. What matters is what happens, or might happen, in my policy area. What matters is what happens, or might happen, to my institution, or to those factors most relevant to my continued success within that institutions. What matters is what happens, or might happen, to my company's bottom line.

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him.

Not "bucking tradition."

Declaring war on American cities is not a charming, quirky, silly deviation from usual operations.

Call it what it is: treason.

NPR @npr.org · 1d

President Trump is bucking tradition and legal precedent in pushing to deploy the National Guard to Democratic-led cities like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago due to what he says is rampant crime and to support his crackdown on illegal immigration.

Impeachment, conviction, and removal of this criminal regime is popular. Trump is not. He and his bully administration are weak, scared, and failing.

Help Congress find some courage and remember their oaths of office.

Next up: This Thursday (October 9) at 10:30 a.m. ET we will send this article of impeachment to Congress and request the impeachment of Donald J. Trump and Peter B. Hegseth for Treason.

We hope you join us. Congress needs to hear loudly from all of us that Trump and Hegseth must go. NOW.

From "war ravaged Portland," we see that an ICE unit was pushed back to its defensive barricade by an elite antifa cosplay unit, led by Frog. After this tactical humiliation, ICE pepper sprayed Frog's air intake, but Frog washed off, suited up and returned to the front lines of battle.
