House Democrats Present Articles of Impeachment Against President Trump

Democrats in the House of Representatives presented an article of impeachment against President Donald Trump this morning. Calls for impeachment against the president have been high following what many see as an attempted coup by radicalized domestic terrorists identifying as supporters of Trump who led an insurrection at the US Capitol last week.

The violent mob interrupted the certification of Joe Biden’s electoral college votes, but ultimately didn’t deter the vote from being finalized in the early hours of Thursday morning. The insurrection resulted in five deaths, including one U.S Capitol Police Officer. As of Monday morning, another U.S. Capitol Police officer who was on duty during the insurrection reportedly died by suicide.


The introduction of the article came after House Republicans blocked an initial attempt to pass a resolution based on Vice President Mike Pence invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump on Monday morning. The official floor vote for the VP to activate the 25th Amendment is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, the House announced Monday.

Representative David Cicilline (D-RI), Jamie Raskin (D-MD), and Ted Lieu (D-CA) collaborated on the article presented today. In the article, Trump is charged with the “incitement of insurrection”. The House is expected to hold a vote on the article on Wednesday, January 13th.

La Malinche is one of the most well-known historical figures and representatives of indigenous women in Mexico. Also known as Maltintzin, Malinalli, or Doña Marina (as the Spanish called her), she was known as Hernán Cortés’s translator during the Spanish conquest. As a result, La Malinche has been perceived as a traitor to her own people, something that has been memorialized in Mexican slang. Being called a “malinchista” is the same as being called disloyal or a traitor to one’s country and culture.

As March 8, 2025, approaches, Latin American feminist movements are preparing for another wave of International Women’s Day (IWD) mobilizations. Built on decades of Latin American activism, these annual demonstrations—marked by purple flags, green scarves, and demands for reproductive justice—contrast sharply with the escalating threats to Latinas in the U.S., where abortion bans, workplace inequities, and political marginalization signal a crisis of rights. The strategies honed in Latin America, from grassroots organizing to transnational legal advocacy, provide a critical roadmap for resilience that U.S. Latinas could leverage.
