Donald Trump Is Acquitted Again Following His Second Impeachment

Today in a 57-43 vote, the US Senate acquitted Donald Trump of the charge of incitement of insurrection in his second impeachment trial.

What we allow is what will continue. This is said to be true of toxic situations, it is true of attacks on democracy and it is true of the violence of white supremacy.

On Jan 6th, an angry mob stormed the Capitol to try to overturn the will of the people. They were incited by a then sitting president who had spread conspiracy and disinformation to try to invalidate a lawful election he did not win.

As voters we stood up and demanded accountability and justice for the attack not just on our institutions and nation's lawmakers but for the ongoing attack on our vote. We demanded justice because sadly, that attack is something we're still fending off even in this very hour.
