Rachel Maddow was shocked Monday, after a leaked draft revealed the Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. “One of the things that is most determinative of a woman's economic freedom and self determination is her ability to make her own decisions about when and if she has kids,” she said on The Rachel Maddow Show. The historic 1973 decision protected women’s rights to choose abortion, however an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito implies the decision was overturned. “This draft opinion saying that the Supreme Court is about to clear the way just for that, means that we're on the precipice of becoming a very different country,” Maddow said. “And our daughters and granddaughters are living in a very different world.” As for what exactly that different world might be, Maddow’s guest, Maryland congressman and House judiciary committee member Jamie Raskin, believes it might very well look like something from a popular Hulu series. “This would appear to be an invitation to have Handmaids Tale-type anti-feminist regulation and legislation all over the country,” he said.
Shanghai residents are turning to the blockchain to preserve memories of the city's month-long COVID-19 lockdown, minting videos, photos and artworks capturing their ordeal as non-fungible tokens to ensure they can be shared and avoid deletion.

The height of Shanghai's lockdown minting moment is rooted in April 22, when netizens battled censors overnight to share a six-minute video entitled "The Voice of April", a montage of voices recorded over the course of the Shanghai outbreak.
