Imagine being Amy Coney Barrett and being the mother of two adopted children from Haiti and having to explain to them why she voted to terminate Temporary Protected Status for roughly 330,000 Haitian Nationals living and working in the United States.
Today we honor Anarcha Westcott. She was a 17 year enslaved girl who underwent roughly 30 operations without anesthesia for a vesicovaginal fistula ( abnormal connection between vagina and bladder= urine coming through your vagina).
She healed after this surgery. James Marion Sim (we refuse to refer to him as doctor) was the racist man who performed these surgeries on her, and is denoted as the father of Gynecology.
However, we would like to say Anarcha is the mother of gynecology. Without her strength, grit, and bravery she wouldn't have survived those procedures. We couldn't imagine doing surgery on someone without some form of anesthesia. Black history is America's history. The story must be told even when it's not pretty.

BREAKING: Calls to expand the Supreme Court EXPLODE after they ruled that Americans can't sue the maker of Roundup weedkiller for causing cancer — blocking thousands of lawsuit.
These Republican justices are utterly corrupt...
"Impeach the corrupt right-wing justices and pack the fucking court already. Enough," wrote leftist commentator Kyle Kulinski on X.
"SCOTUS rules Monsanto/Bayer can’t be sued for omitting a warning even if their herbicides do cause cancer. Even if the legal reasoning of the court is sound in this case, it’s a blatant travesty of justice," Republican Congressman Thomas Massie wrote on X. "Congress and the President can fix this and we absolutely should."
The court's decision to side with Bayer — which became the manufacturer of Roundup after they purchased the maker Monsanto in 2018 — is the latest in a long string of decisions in which the justices have sided with corporate interests over the welfare of the American people. In its current state, with a Republican majority, the Supreme Court functions as just another arm of these massive companies.
They ruled against a Missouri man who convincingly argued that his cancer was caused by Roundup. A jury had previously awarded him $1.25 million. The Trump administration supported Monsanto in this case, removing any lingering doubt that the "Make America Healthy Again" shtick was a farce. This White House was always going to choose profits over people.
The decision comes after Bayer was hit by a deluge of lawsuits for failing to properly warn customers that their product can cause cancer. The justices' incredibly tenuous logic was that because federal regulations have not found the cancer link in question, a label is not required and failure-to-warn lawsuits at a state level are illegitimate.
Jay Feldman of Beyond Pesticides, a health and environmental group, called the ruling "a tragic setback for public and environmental health,."
It's time we stop pretending that the Supreme Court is some sacred, nonpartisan institution. Right-wingers have spent decades stacking it with reactionary ideologues in order to undermine the public interest and entrench the power of the super-rich and corporations. Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito literally take bribes from billionaires in the form of lavish gifts and trips. They're not even pretending at legitimacy.
That leaves us with one option. Since the court is now nothing more than a partisan battleground, we need to start taking territory. Expand the court and nominate liberal justices to seize back control of our democracy!
Please ❤️ and share if you support expanding the court!

🇺🇸‼️| De acuerdo a una investigación de la Universidad de Hawai, se reveló que la presión sobre el sistema de falla de San Andrés alcanzó su punto más alto de tensión en mil años. Ese factor determina la posibilidad de que haya más terremotos. De hecho la gran preocupación es que la energía tensa de la falla en algún momento tendrá que ser liberada y la única forma de suceda es a través de terremotos en la zona.
