we need to protest with caution

Republicans are ecstatic. If you look at r/conservative right now, they are anticipating violent riots with glee. They want to muddy the waters of their attempted coup by pointing at violent "leftists." Please do not give them the satisfaction.

And if some asshole proud boy fascist shows up and starts throwing punches, it's not violence on our part, ITS SELF DEFENSE AGAINST SELF-PROFESSED NAZIs (and that goes DOUBLE for the idiot cops who would have u believe they can't tell the difference).

They are also calling for special protections for "crisis pregnancy centers" so they won't get attacked and firebombed.

I watched about three minutes of their all-women panel cheering this shit before I reached my boiling point.

...one of the largest protests in D.C and around the nation was in support of women's rights, with no violence at all.

The violence is in this decision, and in everyone who supports it.
