Doctor who violated Texas's ban on abortions after six weeks is sued, launching first test of whether law is constitutional washingtonpost.com/politics/court…
The details of the civil suit against Alan Braid are as unusual as the law itself, which empowers private citizens to enforce the ban on abortion once cardiac activity has been detected — often as early as six weeks into pregnancy. washingtonpost.com/politics/court…
Braid said last week that he provided an abortion to a woman who was in the early stages of pregnancy, but beyond the state’s limit.

Braid said he acted because of his duty as a doctor and “because she has a fundamental right to receive this care.” washingtonpost.com/national/texas…

The dismantling of Black communities for highways is not just a thing of the past.

In a planned highway widening project a few miles north of Charleston, 94 percent of displaced residents live in communities mostly consisting of Black and Brown people. wapo.st/3hsxZ2S
This 1957 aerial photograph shows the neighborhoods of Liberty Park and Highland Terrace in North Charleston prior to the construction of a freeway in 1969.

At the time of the freeway construction, these neighborhoods were majority-Black. wapo.st/3hsxZ2S Image
In the decades since this photo was taken, two freeways cutting through the neighborhoods have displaced dozens of buildings – homes, churches, businesses. wapo.st/3hsxZ2S Image

From July: Iceland tested a 4-day workweek. Employees were productive — and happier, researchers say. washingtonpost.com/business/2021/…
The trials found a shorter work week translated into increased employee well-being among a range of indicators, from stress to health and work-life balance.

These issues have become more pressing as reports of burnout have risen amid the pandemic. washingtonpost.com/business/2021/…
Participants in the trials said the work-time reductions allowed them to run errands, participate in home duties, exercise and spend quality time with family and friends.

This shift often translated into less stress at home and wider social well-being. wapo.st/2T0ZRlA
