Today I am sitting in the Portland Public Library, scrolling through updates about impeachment day. I have been waiting for this day for a very long time. Three years and a few weeks. I know the facts, what people are saying, he most likely will not be removed, but I still find the idea of impeachment quite frightening: because years of taking advantage of women is not enough to be removed from office.

On September 27th, 2018 at 3:05 PM, when the last bell rings, hundreds of students gathered in the library surrounding various computers. Dr. Christine Blasey Ford was scheduled to testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee an hour earlier, which meant CNN Live Broadcast was still going. Silence filled the air as students from around the DC Private schools watched the fate of their alumni. Instagram feeds lit up with stories that say either, “I stand with Dr. Ford” or “I stand with Brett Kavanaugh”.
