I never thought I'd write about getting an IUD, let alone for @NEJM, but I did. During the Kavanaugh hearings I saw ugly, ugly power pushing down & down but I also looked up to see an immense, glittering kind of strength at every turn. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
A huge thank you to some amazing #women in #EM who gave me courage & advice when I was nervous to pursue this. I was worried abt writing on a sensitive topic esp during res interviews @LizSamuels @meganranney @choo_ek @darakass Thank you for making it so much easier to be brave
And thank you to @Jeff__Riddell and @TakuTaira, my mentors who I met at @lacuscdem who picked up the phone and called me immediately when I emailed them for their advice. I'm so grateful to be joining this specialty.
Recently saw tweets from @rgay & @DrJenGunter re: wanting to find a GYN they trust to be good/kind. Also read @DrLeanaWen's piece in @SELFmagazine abt her experience w #CervicalCancer. These stories felt familiar. Reminds me why I chose medicine; that it can be a site of justice.

Something very important is happening. Since Dr. Christine Blasey Ford so bravely came forward to tell her story of assault at the hands of Brett #Kavanaugh, many #RhodeIsland women have written me to share their own personal stories of survival.
I get mail every day about the various policies debated in Congress. But I have never had mail like this. This is bigger than the fight over a court nomination.
I’ve heard from women of different ages and backgrounds, some who have held their secrets for years. Those I quote have given me permission, even encouraged me, to share their words. For privacy, their names and other identifying information has been removed.

So I have things to say about internalized misogyny and evangelical mindsets. Obviously, as a man, I only have direct personal experience with the latter. But I've seen them both play out in one of the people I care about most: my mother. And her support of Brett #Kavanaugh.
I'm thinking about this now because my mother is a classic evangelical Christian: a very nice person with very problematic beliefs. Conservative without being a fundamentalist weirdo, doesn't "like" Trump but voted for him, thinks gay people are mentally ill and in sin, etc.
My family is deeply religious and heavily involved in the church. We went every Sunday, to both services. My mother and father both, at varying points, served on pastoral staff temporarily after a pastor suddenly left. They were close friends with all the pastors and elders.

1. Woke up 3hrs too early, queasy and stressed. 2mins from now, we will likely be witness to a national misogynistic sham so deep and so blatant as to prove once and for all that the powerbrokers of US government do not believe women are human. #Kavanaugh #BelieveSurvivors #RAGE
2. I'll prob livetweet #Kavanaugh hearing, but I feel physically ill over how they've stacked the deck against #ChristinaBlaseyFord, ignored #JulieSwetnick's gang rape allegations, demonized #DeborahRamirez. How many more rapes will happen bec Trump &GOP brand claim women liars.
3. 0 reason other than corruption, misogyny, and partisanship for having no witnesses, no FBI investigation. Yet hypocrite Grassley, opens saying he wants a "Safe, comfortable, and dignified" hearing and a "show of civility"--then immediately misrepresents the issues. #Kavanaugh

Ok, let’s talk about this whole Brett Kavanaugh thing, shall we? #Kavanaugh
For the most part, I stay away from making sweeping generalizations about nominees for courts. I’m biased. While I oppose them regularly, I don’t think most Conservative judges are bad people. It’s ideological differences.
For instance- I don’t agree with John Roberts on Citizens United, guns, executive power, abortion, etc. I think he’s not some evil, lying POS. #Kavanaugh

Ds must demand all emails to or from #Kavanaugh that were kept on Smartech's server! When Congress investigated the Bush WH's firing of 8 US attorneys, it learned the Bush admin. had used Smartech for its emails & deleted 22 MILLION of them. They were retrieved in 09. 1/
Here is a Snopes article re: the deleted and then retrieved 22 MILLION emails from the Bush administration. These deleted emails were not retrieved until 2009 and have never seen the light of day. 2/ snopes.com/fact-check/g-w…
3/ Per Craig Unger (editor Vanity Fair, author "Boss Rove"), the millions of missing emails were on RNC servers owned by Smartech: "Rove and more than EIGHTY OTHER WHITE HOUSE STAFFERS had their emails hosted on ... [the] SmarTech servers." harpers.org/blog/2012/09/_…

THREAD from #Kavanaugh confirmation hearing Day1. Day2 begins. GOP chair Grassley said yesterday’s protesters plotted w/ Democrats to disrupt hearing. “Today is different,” he said. Protests continued. One said: “I’m offended; I called out Durbin. I didn’t coorindate w/Democrats”
Feinstein starts questions on gun regulation & “common use.” She said she never thought she’d see children mowed down in schools. #Kavanaugh: “It’s all about precedent. If a type of firearm is widely owned like assault weapons, then it’s unconstitutional to ban them under Heller”
Feinstein asks about Roe: I don’t want to go back to those numbers [women dying in back alley abortions]. #Kavanaugh: I don’t live in a bubble. I understand its importance. As a judge, Roe & Casey are long-standing Supreme Court precedent. (Implying it should stand, it seems.)
