The New Yorkerâs Stephania Taladrid reports on a rare example of bipartisan action in Texas that carved out two exemptions to the stateâs strict abortion laws. They apply to only a small number of people, but the coöperation between a Democratic advocate of reproductive rights and one of the state legislatureâs most conservative Republicans suggests that the extreme climate over abortion bans may be shifting. Also, the novelist and playwright Jen Silverman talks about the excitement and uncertainty of protests, which are at the heart of Silvermanâs new novel, âThereâs Going to Be Trouble.â And Maya Hawkeâthe popular young actor from âStranger Thingsâ who has a serious sideline as an indie songwriterâtalks to Rachel Syme about not going to college, which is the subject of her new single âMissing Out.â
