And another day of temporary blocks, vax cards in Wallet app, how Republicans are torpedoing voting rights in TX, getting around the TX abortion law, giving up on police reform, and sexual assault linked to brain damage in women comes to a close:

Federal court temporarily blocks Covid-19 vaccine mandate for New York City teachers.

Apple to allow users to put vaccination cards in Wallet app. Like using metro cards and credit cards, showing vaccination through the Wallet app can be utilized by businesses or venues as a form of verification.
How are Republicans torpedoing voting rights in Texas? An expert explains. So this bill was written, really wholeheartedly, on just bias and misleading reports. From partisan actors in the county or perhaps across the state.
How people are getting around the new Texas abortion law. Providers have seen a surge in interest in online purchases of abortion pills since the state's near-total ban went into effect.
Medication abortion becomes latest GOP target. As Republican states move to restrict access to abortion generally, many of them also are limiting access to medication-induced abortions.

Congress has given up on police reform. Both sides agree they missed the moment. Lawmakers had been on the cusp of the deal but couldn't get it across the finish line after political pressures took over. -- “Nothing ever stays the same, but nothing changes much.” -- OK Go

Women who have been sexually assaulted have a higher risk of developing a type of brain damage that has been linked to cognitive decline, dementia and stroke, a new study found.
TikTok has new mental health resources for its users. Some experts say it's a good start.
Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.
Until next time, my friends. Stay safe and stay sane. Good night.
