James Marion Sims, a doctor in 1840s Montgomery who became world famous as “the father of modern gynecology." The whitewashed part of his legacy?

He achieved his surgical breakthroughs by experimenting on Black girls and women from plantations.
One woman's quest to reclaim the ugly history of Black maternal health
Artist Michelle Browder's Mothers of Gynecology project is an act of resistance.

Here is Jimmy Kimmel’s full monologue from tonight.

Jokes on FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, Trump, Tylenol, etc.
Jimmy Kimmel is Back!
Jimmy Kimmel returns to the air and talks about all of the people who have reached out over the last six days including fellow late night talk show hosts, fans of the show, and those who don’t support what he believes but support his right to share those beliefs anyway, and he expresses that it was never his intention to make light of the murder of a young man, how important it is to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this, the Chairman of the FCC Brendan Carr telling an American company that “We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Trump saying he has no talent and no ratings, being fortunate to work at a company that has allowed us to do the show we want to do for almost 23 years, not agreeing with the decision to have our show pulled off the air last Wednesday, Trump making it very clear he wants to see Jimmy and other late night hosts fired, and solidarity from the right, left and those in the middle. Then Jimmy talks to the new FCC Chairman (Robert De Niro), and gets into Trump’s day addressing the United Nations, the escalator breaking, having trouble with the teleprompter, and the headache he’s creating with his buddy RFK over Tylenol.

Trump and RFK Jr. wrongly and dangerously link Tylenol, vaccines to autism and embarrass America.

My column:

Trump's dishonest rambling about Tylenol, autism shows how irresponsible he is | Opinion
Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stupidly and irresponsibly connected Tylenol and lifesaving vaccines to autism, ignoring real science.

Joy Reid. Karen Attiah. Gene Robinson. Jonathan Capehart. There are lots of others. Circumstances differ. But really sad to see new organizations not keeping super-talented Black staffers. The news industry spent decades talking about diversity, improved some from 2014-2020 and is now going back.

Yes, Fox News Host Brian Kilmeade really said this about homeless people: “Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill 'em."

Ann Muno: What Netflix’s ‘Adolescence’ misses about girl-centered violence prevention
Netflix’s limited series “Adolescence” misses half the story — the murdered girl’s. It fails to shine a light on the work that could save lives.
