'Night of rage' protests erupt into violence across the country: Fox News HQ targeted, fireworks shot at police, pro-life woman attacked, journalists assaulted



Protests erupted across the country following the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. In major U.S. cities, pro-abortion protesters violently clashed with law enforcement on Friday.

Washington, D.C.

Antifa-linked pro-abortion group Jane's Revenge vowed to undertake a "night of rage" after the Supreme Court's ruling on allowing states to make the final call about abortion. Black bloc protesters wielding umbrellas marched through the streets of Washington, D.C.

The group chanted slogans such as, "If abortion ain’t safe, neither are you," "If we don’t get it, burn it down," "Every city, every town, burn the precinct to the ground," and "F*** the church, f*** the state, we won't let them decide our fate." The protesters burned American flags.

Footage from the protests were provided by Fox News associate producer Lisa Bennatan, Post Millennial correspondent Hannah Nighting, Washington Examiner's Matt Miller, and TPUSA contributor Drew Hernandez.

Biden denounces planned violence by pro-abortion terrorists: ‘Threats and intimidation are not speech’



President Joe Biden on Friday called for peaceful protests of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, denouncing planned violence by radical pro-abortion groups.

"I call on everyone, no matter how deeply they care about this decision, to keep all protests peaceful. Peaceful. Peaceful. Peaceful," Biden said in an address on the court's 6-3 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. "No intimidation; violence is never acceptable."

"Threats and intimidation are not speech," the president continued. "We must stand against violence in any form, regardless of your rationale."

The president's comments follow threats from the terrorist pro-abortion group Jane's Revenge, which has distributed flyers around Washington, D.C., calling for a "night of rage" against the Supreme Court's decision. This group has previously taken credit for firebombings and acts of vandalism committed against pro-life organizations and churches all over the country in the past two months.

"THE NIGHT SCOTUS OVERTURNS ROE V. WADE HIT THE STREETS," the fliers read. "YOU SAID YOU'D RIOT."

"TO OUR OPPRESSORS: IF ABORTIONS AREN'T SAFE, YOU'RE NOT EITHER," Jane's Revenge said.

The calls for violence prompted Republican lawmakers to urge the Biden administration to protect churches and pro-life pregnancy centers in the coming days.

"President Biden has a Constitutional duty to keep Americans safe—he must direct the Justice Department to deter and prevent violence against Supreme Court Justices, churches, and pro-life pregnancy centers. Now. Before it's too late," House Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Friday.

Earlier this week, the White House denounced the threats from Jane's Revenge.

"Violence and destruction of property have no place in our country under any circumstance. And the president denounces this action," press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday.

“Actions like this are completely unacceptable regardless of our politics,” Jean-Pierre added. “So we have denounced that and we will continue to denounce any violence or threats.”

Anything Else?

President Biden called the court's ruling a "tragic error" in his address and blasted the Republican-appointed justices in the majority as extreme.

He promised that if Democrats prevail in the upcoming midterm elections, they will take federal action to secure the right to abortion.

"Let me be very clear and unambiguous. The only way we can secure a woman's right to choose, the balance that existed, is for Congress to restore the protections of Roe v. Wade as federal law. No executive action from the president can do that," Biden said.

The president urged voters to "make their voices heard" in the upcoming midterm elections, asking for Democrats to be given expanded majorities to codify abortion protections in federal law.

"This fall Roe is on the ballot," Biden said.

In the meantime, the president announced several executive actions he will take to protect abortion access nationwide, including access to abortion-inducing drugs and contraceptives. Biden will direct the Department of Health and Human Services to increase the availability of so-called medication abortions to the "fullest extent possible," but he was vague on specifics.

He also said the federal government will defend the "bedrock right" of women in pro-life states to travel out of state to seek abortions.

“If any state or local official, high or low, tries to interfere with a woman exercising her basic right to travel, I will do everything in my power to fight that deeply un-American attack,” Biden said.

Antifa, radical leftists reportedly call for 'night of rage' in wake of SCOTUS abortion overturn: 'Enough is enough with peaceful protest'



Antifa expert Andy Ngo on Friday posted screenshots of tweets from Antifa-affiliated groups and other radical leftists around the country calling for a "night of rage" and similar actions in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's overturn of Roe v. Wade, which has permitted abortion nationwide for nearly 50 years.

What are the details?

In a Twitter thread that he promised to update, Ngo first warned that the violent anarchist group Jane's Revenge — which has claimed responsibility for a number of attacks on pro-life groups since the leak of the Roe v. Wade overturn draft — has updated its flyers and is calling for violence Friday night:

\u201cIn anticipation of the striking down of Roe v Wade, a far-left #Antifa-linked group named Jane\u2019s Revenge carried out violent attacks on pregnancy resource centers across the US for weeks. Their current flyers in DC call for mass violence tonight:\u201d

Ngo also tweeted that the Washington, D.C., chapter of the Youth Liberation Front — another "violent Antifa group" — is "calling for people to wear black, mask up & to meet at Folger Park at 7:30 p.m. The YLF was responsible for months of extreme violence in Portland & Seattle in 2020."

He added that Antifa in Portland already made plans for violence Thursday and announced a "direct action gathering starting at 5:30 pm PT at Lownsdale Square — the same location they occupied in 2020 & used as a base to carry out mass violence & arson."

\u201c#Antifa in Portland, OR already made plans for violence since yesterday. They've now announced a direct action gathering starting at 5:30 pm PT at Lownsdale Square, the same location they occupied in 2020 & used as a base to carry out mass violence & arson.https://t.co/za3xTcMGtT\u201d

Ngo also pointed to an "Anifa account representing members in DC, Maryland & Virginia" from which a tweet read, "Is your bag packed? Let's f***ing go."

He added that the "Florida chapter of #Antifa group Revolutionary Abolition tells comrades to 'bloc up.' This refers to wearing black clothing & black masks to hide identities during crimes." Ngo also said the group "retweeted a post calling for addresses of the family of their target."

Ngo also mentioned that "far-left writer" Gretchen Felker-Martin, who he said penned a "novel where two trans people murder their targets," called for "violence." One of Felker-Martin's Friday tweets read, "Enough is enough with peaceful protest."

Ngo added that the "far-left Abolitionist Law Center"— anticipating that its "comrades will be arrested for crimes" — is "calling for people to donate to abortion & bail funds. Many far-left groups exist in US to provide legal support & bail money to violent far-left extremists."
