Good morning, Broadsheet readers! The U.S. Supreme Court accidentally published an opinion allowing emergency abortions in Idaho, Paris Hilton testifies about youth facilities, and Away's CEO Jen Rubio tells us about the company's next chapter. Have a great Thursday!
- Up and Away. It’s been a tumultuous few years for Away, the direct-to-consumer luggage brand that’s iconic hard-shell bag has been carried by the likes of Margot Robbie and Prince Harry. Allegations of a toxic workplace in 2019 led to multiple changes in management, while demand plummeted early in the pandemic. Earlier this year, the company restructured, cutting 25% of its staff. An IPO went from seemingly imminent to on the back burner.
