Impeach rallies took place across the country Tuesday night, as protesters of all stripes took to the streets to encourage the House to approve the articles on Wednesday.
According to the New York Times, liberal groups like MoveOn.com and Indivisible organized hundreds of rallies, from Philadelphia to New Orleans.
The demonstrations came the night before the full House is set to vote on the articles of impeachment. The House is expected to approve the articles on a largely party-line vote, which would make President Donald Trump only the third president in U.S. history to be impeached.
The first article accuses Trump of abusing his power, due to his pressuring Ukraine to launch bogus investigations into the Bidens in exchange for military aid. The second charges him with obstruction of justice, because of his administration’s refusal to cooperate with the investigation by barring witnesses from testifying and withholding documents.
After the House vote, the articles will be sent to the Senate, where a Republican majority will almost certainly save Trump from conviction and removal from office.
HAPPY FRICKIN IMPEACHMENT DAY to all!
The voices of reason will be heard. No attempt to silence us, no threats, no acts of violence will stop history from righting this monstrous wrong and vanquishing this evil. We hold the Constitution.

Party like it’s 2019.
Sad to have such a corrupt president that this became necessary. His ignorance, arrogance, and incompetence have always been troubling. His corruption and criminality should have disqualified him from the start. It’s time to finally impeach the motherfucker.
Is it finals week at Northwestern? That doesn’t help with crowd size, if so. I love the news that Christmas carols kept breaking out at some of the rallies.
