Right on, but let’s also plan peaceful mass resistance to this far-right patriarchal oppression… when they don’t.

Let's say they don't, which is most likely the case, what will you do in November? What will you do now?

Circumventing the filibuster with a rules manuver is the “nuclear option.” Any filibuster can be defeated with a simple majority vote. They can already pass anything they want with a majority vote anytime they want.

The filibuster is possible due to a Senate rule requiring 60 votes to end debate. The decision whether procedure was valid is by majority vote. Thus the majority party can take a vote and override any objection by majority vote (50+ VP tiebreaker). This is the “nuclear option.”

At the very least they can make Manchin explain why the filibuster is more important than woman's rights every day on TV till his popularity in West Virginia drops like a stone.

Why only Roe v Wade? What about gay marriage?
