NBC News on Instagram: "One year after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, more than one-quarter of states have banned abortion outright, and several more have severely restricted access.

For women and their families, abortion access is now largely a function of financial and geographic circumstances.

For abortion-care providers, the year has brought an increase of out-of-state patients and a barrage of legal challenges.

Abortion opponents, meanwhile, are enjoying their success. Some say they hope to see national restrictions.

NBC News on Instagram: "Mortgage interest rates continue to climb, putting homeownership further out of reach for many potential buyers.

On Monday, the average interest rate on 30-year mortgages rose to 7.48%, according to Mortgage News Daily — the highest level since November 2000.

Other measures show slightly lower, if still-elevated, interest rates.

Mortgage rates have nearly tripled in the span of just a couple of years from the lows seen during the height of the pandemic. As recently as January 2021, the average 30-year rate had dipped to 2.65%.

NBC News on Instagram: "As thousands gathered in Washington D.C. on Saturday for the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington event, a racist mass shooting took place at Dollar General in Jacksonville, Florida.

The fatal shooting was carried out by a white man in his early 20s who authorities say "hated Black people."

The shooter opened fire at the Dollar General shortly after being turned away from Edward Waters University, a historically Black college just a few blocks away, by campus security.

Now, the Jacksonville community is grappling with the heartbreak and the college is haunted by the “what ifs.”

“Something has to be done about the legacy of racism in this city, and how it still lingers so strongly throughout the city,” one resident said.

NBC News on Instagram: "17 states enacted bills this year curtailing instruction on LGBTQ topics, transgender students' access to sports and bathrooms, and other issues.

Brian Kerekes, a high school statistics teacher in Florida, said he froze like “a deer in headlights” when a student asked him a personal question at the beginning of the school year this month.

He said the student looked around the classroom, saw a small Pride flag, then asked, “Are you gay?”

Kerekes said that his identity is no secret and that he is one of a few out gay teachers in his school. But under a new state law that restricts the instruction of LGBTQ topics, he feared that his answer could somehow be illegal, he said.

The Guardian on Instagram: "“We must not become a city where a mentally ill human being can be choked to death by a vigilante without consequence”.

This is what New York City’s financial chief Brad Lander said on Twitter as outrage grows over the killing of an unhoused Black man on the city’s subway, who was apparently having a mental health episode on a train.

Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old who regularly danced in the Times Square transit hub, died on Monday after a confrontation with a fellow passenger. Neely was placed in a nearly three minute long headlock, which was recorded in a video shared to social media.

His death has led to outrage over the treatment of unhoused people and the mental health crisis in New York City.

NowThis Politics on Instagram: "A new report from Stop AAPI Hate found that 2021 is on track to see more anti-Asian hate crimes than last year, despite efforts from activists and politicians to raise awareness about—and condemn— such attacks. ⁠
⁠
According to the report, more than 9,000 cases of racially motivated attacks were reported between March 19, 2020, and June 30, 2021. In the last 3 months of the recorded period, the number of cases skyrocketed from 6,603 to 9,081. The U.S. seems likely to surpass last year’s number of recorded incidents of anti-Asian sentiments and assaults, with 4,548 of those cases occurring in 2020 and 4,533 cases in 2021 already. ⁠
⁠
An initial spike in anti-Asian hate crimes began when former President Donald Trump and other politicians used China as a scapegoat for the coronavirus pandemic, spewing racist rhetoric while referring to the COVID-19 virus. Stop AAPI Hate co-founder Manjusha Kulkarni said that as U.S. society reopens, there are increased opportunities for public attacks. The majority of the reported hate incidents involved verbal harassment and shunning. Physical assaults were the third most-reported offenses, jumping from 10.8% in last year’s reports to 16.6% so far in 2021.⁠

The New York Times on Instagram: "The United States grew significantly more diverse over the past decade, as the populations of people who identified as Hispanic and Asian surged and the number of people who said they were more than one race increased, the Census Bureau reported on Thursday.

Overall population growth slowed dramatically over the past decade. The growth that did occur — an increase of about 23 million people — was made up entirely of people who identified as Hispanic, Asian, Black and more than one race, according to the data, the first racial and ethnic breakdown from the 2020 census.

The white population in the U.S., for the first time on record, declined over the course of the decade. People who identify themselves as white on the census form have been decreasing as a share of the country’s population since the 1960s, when the United States opened up more widely to immigrants outside of Europe.

That drop was driven in part by the aging of the white population and a sharp decline in the birthrate.

The single biggest increase was among people who identified as more than one race, a category that first appeared on census forms 20 years ago, and now is the fastest growing racial and ethnic category. That population more than doubled.

The top five largest cities in the country are now New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Phoenix. Philadelphia is now the sixth largest city, bumped from fifth by Phoenix, which was the fastest growing of the top 20 largest cities.

The Guardian US on Instagram: "Social media use by children and teenagers can pose a “profound risk of harm” to their mental health and wellbeing, the US surgeon general has warned.

In a new advisory, Dr Vivek Murthy calls on tech companies, policymakers and parents to take “immediate action to protect kids now”. He says that in the absence of robust independent research it is impossible to know whether social media is safe for children and adolescents.

“The bottom line is we do not have enough evidence to conclude that social media is, in fact, sufficiently safe for our kids. And that’s really important for parents to know,” Murthy told the Associated Press.

The 25-page advisory, produced as part of the surgeon general’s ongoing investigation into what he sees as a full-blown youth mental health crisis, points to the ubiquitous use of social media by young people. Up to 95% of 13- to 17-year-old Americans use a social media platform, and more than a third say they do so “almost constantly”.

The report shows how current controls on access by children are not working. While most sites apply a minimum age requirement of 13, almost 40% of eight- to 12-year-olds are regular users.

Know Your Rights Camp on Instagram: "The passage of House Bill 2127, commonly referred to as the "Death Star" bill, has raised concerns among activists and advocates in Texas. This legislation, signed into law by Governor #GregAbbott, overrides local ordinances and worker protections, leading to tragic outcomes. Reports indicate a surge in heat-related deaths since the bill's implementation, particularly in Webb County, where individuals between the ages of 60 and 80, lacking access to air conditioning, have succumbed to the extreme heat. Furthermore, instances of heat-related fatalities have been reported in various settings, including a national park, prisons without air conditioning, and work sites.

House Bill 2127, supported by Governor Abbott, nullifies existing local ordinances and prohibits cities and counties from enacting new ones. This erosion of worker protections and local governance directly threatens the safety and well-being of workers in Texas. In response to this legislation, the City of Houston filed a lawsuit challenging the bill's constitutionality. Mayor Sylvester Turner has emphasized the crucial need to preserve constitutional rights and local governance to protect the residents of Houston and ensure immediate access to local recourse.

The Guardian US on Instagram: "‘We’re forming a new kind of mainstream society'

Gen Z Americans – who were born between 1997 and 2012 – will be the last generation with a white majority, according to a new study of updated US census data.

That change – when non-Hispanic white people will fall below half as a share of the overall US population – should come around 2045, the study predicts.

Projections of the nation’s demographic makeup, including age structure and race-ethnic composition, also show that the fastest population growth is occurring among the older population while the youth population declines.

“This [ageing] is not race neutral,” the author of the new Brookings Institute study, William Frey, said. “White Americans contributed substantially to older population gains compared to younger and middle-aged populations, which registered white declines.”

Frey, in his analysis, added: “These patterns have led to a ‘racial generation gap,’ in which the younger population – more influenced by immigration in recent decades – is far more diverse than older age groups.”

The net result, the author wrote, is that old-young racial gaps that already exist in much of the country are likely to persist in the near term.

The Guardian US on Instagram: "A neo-Nazi 'active club' counts several current and former members of the United States military as its members, the Guardian has learned.

Lance corporal machine gunner Mohammed Wadaa and former Marine Corps staff sergeant Gunnar Naughton are part of the Clockwork Crew, California’s first ‘active club,’ according to the group’s own internal research records and social media posts, as well as law enforcement sources.  Neither men responded to a request for comment.

These clubs are white nationalists and neo-fascist fight clubs that train in combat sports. Their recruitment among active and former members of the military underscores both the broadening appeal of the fitness-centric organising model and the American armed services’ persistent struggle with extremism within the ranks.

“We’re seeing a more aggressive, more hostile far right,” said Jeff Tischauser, a senior researcher at the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). “Groups like the Clockwork Crew are more willing to take their hatred into public spaces and shout people down outside of synagogues and in communities they perceive as predominantly Jewish.”

Unlike the federal charges filed by Jack Smith, the special counsel for the justice department, the Fulton county case will proceed in state court.

That means that Trump would have less capacity to interfere with the case if he is elected president next year, and he could not pardon himself.

The charges in Georgia mark the second time the former president has been indicted in connection to his push to overturn the will of American voters after losing to Joe Biden in 2020.

Prosecutors have brought numerous counts against Trump and his associates, including forgery and racketeering, violating an oath of office and other charges.

Prosecutors charged 18 other people, including Mark Meadows, Trump’s former White House chief of staff, and the lawyers Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman.

The New York Times on Instagram: "The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday approved a birth control pill to be sold without a prescription for the first time in the U.S., a step that could significantly expand access to contraception.

The medication, called Opill, will become the most effective birth control method available over the counter — more effective at preventing pregnancy than condoms, spermicides and other nonprescription methods. Experts in reproductive health said its availability could be especially useful for young women, teenagers and those who have difficulty dealing with the time, costs or logistical hurdles involved in visiting a doctor to obtain a prescription.

The pill’s manufacturer, Perrigo Company, based in Dublin, said Opill would most likely become available from stores and online retailers in the U.S. in early 2024.

The company did not say how much the medication would cost — a key question that will help determine how many people will use the pill — but Frédérique Welgryn, Perrigo’s global vice president for women’s health, said in a statement that the company was committed to making the pill “accessible and affordable to women and people of all ages.” Welgryn has also said the company would have a consumer assistance program to provide the pill at no cost to some women.

Young climate activists in the U.S. have not yet had the same effect as their counterparts in Europe, where Greta Thunberg has galvanized a generation. But during a summer of record heat, choking wildfire smoke and now a tropical storm bearing down on Los Angeles, American teenagers and 20-somethings concerned about the planet are increasingly being taken seriously.

A mix of pride and exasperation is not uncommon among young climate activists. Many are energized by what they see as the fight of their lives, but also resentful that adults haven’t seriously confronted a problem that has been well understood for decades now.

The New York Times on Instagram: "Authorities in Hawaii released a list late on Thursday naming 388 people who are still unaccounted for in the aftermath of the deadliest wildfires in America in more than a century, which killed at least 115 people.

The fires devastated the coastal town of Lahaina on the island of Maui, as well as other areas of the island, more than two weeks ago. Search-and-rescue teams are still sifting through the last patches of ash and rubble looking for human remains.

In publicizing the names, the authorities hope to narrow the tally of the missing. In a statement, Maui’s police chief, John Pelletier, asked anyone who survived the fire to come forward and remove their name from the list. Officials had said earlier on Tuesday that 1,000 to 1,100 people remained unaccounted for.

The list released on Thursday, Pelletier said, includes anyone for whom officials have a first and last name and contact information for the person who reported them missing.

The New York Times on Instagram: "Authorities in Hawaii released a list late on Thursday naming 388 people who are still unaccounted for in the aftermath of the deadliest wildfires in America in more than a century, which killed at least 115 people.

The fires devastated the coastal town of Lahaina on the island of Maui, as well as other areas of the island, more than two weeks ago. Search-and-rescue teams are still sifting through the last patches of ash and rubble looking for human remains.

In publicizing the names, the authorities hope to narrow the tally of the missing. In a statement, Maui’s police chief, John Pelletier, asked anyone who survived the fire to come forward and remove their name from the list. Officials had said earlier on Tuesday that 1,000 to 1,100 people remained unaccounted for.

The list released on Thursday, Pelletier said, includes anyone for whom officials have a first and last name and contact information for the person who reported them missing.

Democracy Now! on Instagram: "In Georgia, the Cobb County Board of Education voted last week to fire a longtime teacher who read the book "My Shadow Is Purple," which is about gender fluidity and inclusiveness, to her fifth-grade students.

In February, Katie Rinderle purchased "My Shadow Is Purple" by Scott Stuart at a book fair at her place of work, Due West Elementary School in Marietta, Georgia. Rinderle shared the book with her class and asked students to reflect on their own uniqueness. 

After a parent complained about the lesson, the Cobb County Board of Education  in Atlanta asked Rinderle to resign or be terminated. She was later fired on June 6.

When Rinderle tried to overturn her dismissal, a tribunal of educators was appointed by the Cobb County Board of Education. After two days of hearings, the group recommended Rinderle not be fired. Voting along party lines last week, members of the school board voted 4-3 not to accept the tribunal's ruling.

Cobb County's education policies reflect the Protect Students’ Rights Act, a set of Georgia legislation passed in 2022 commonly known as the "divisive concepts" law. This legislation gives parents the right to complain about materials taught in schools that they deem "pornographic" or otherwise harmful. 

Educators like Katie Rinderle are critical of the vague nature of the law, saying it creates an invisible line of censorship.

“School districts label certain topics ‘pornographic’ and ‘divisive,’” Rinderle told the Southern Poverty Law Center. “Yet when I asked [school administrators] what ‘divisive concepts’ means, they said they didn’t know and told me they would research it. They never told me.”

Rinderle is working with her union, the Georgia Association of Educators, and the Goodmark Law Firm to challenge her firing."
