[Drake Logan 🖇 @dr3keness]

Hello World. I'm Drake Logan, US military expert, @SSNScholars security & environment expert, PhD Candidate at @GC_PoliSci @GC_CUNY; unbossed & ungovernable + today launched in promo for my podcast. I discuss #war, #COVID19, #ToxicViolence, and #Legos 🧱https://t.co/JFhA0OOMg4

[Drake Logan 🖇 @dr3keness]

Here's my story of how I dealt with neoNazi zoombombing on a recent webinar discussing #militarism and #COVID19 - in hopes of generating conversation on how we can better stay the course and deal with online hate speech. *Content warning: Nazi imagery*

[PublicsLab @PublicsLab]

Good morning! We welcome in fall semester w/ a very 2020 blog post on how to deal with nefarious Zoom-hacking during public presentations. @dr3keness suggests drawing on your skills as an educator to stay the course when someone is trying to disrupt you. https://t.co/ePxzwfnggA

@mknyveld @OpenAcademics good guess but no, community-based science on military toxins from actual bombings in “training” and warfare. [sighs]

[Sarah Lazare @sarahlazare]

Here are all the Senators who voted no to the Sanders amendment to cut the Pentagon's budget 10%--a number that is just a fraction of what's needed to truly curb the violence the US is inflicting around the world.

@YogaScienceArt @OpenAcademics whoa whoa what is junk DNA?

@OpenAcademics I do participatory research-into-activism on US military toxins toward dismantling the Us military-industrial complex & I’m about to enter the #PhDeath #Classof2020, so #boom.

[Drake Logan 🖇 @dr3keness]

Still #relevant after all this time. #Tfw you wish your predictions were not accurate.

[Researchpod @ResearchpodHQ]

Toxic #violence
#Coronavirus
Fears of troops being deployed against #US citizens

Looking back on this recording with @dr3keness is eerie now, but let's the future is brighter than the past 3 months

@research_pod It was unfortunately prescient. I’m still struggling to find words adequate to the #militarization of protest response and the scale of violence perpetrated by the US government on us in the #pandemic. But as a war scholar, that’s my job.

[Drake Logan 🖇 @dr3keness]

@OpenAcademics def no. 😭😭😭😭

[About Face: Veterans Against the War @VetsAboutFace]

The US Department of Defense produces more hazardous waste than the 5 largest US chemical companies combined. #DropTheMIC

[About Face: Veterans Against the War @VetsAboutFace]

Question: If you’re currently active duty, why are you still willing to deploy?

[Drake Logan 🖇 @dr3keness]

Vanessa Guillen presente. I am sickened at the revelation of the brutal violence done to her by another soldier, on base. Sickened but sadly not surprised: this is what US military service does to people, and it has done so for its entire bloody history.

Solidarity to Vanessa Guillen’s family as they mourn and continue their fight for justice. https://t.co/b7lMIhzdnO

Join us as we call on Congress to divest from the violence of militarism and policing. Now is the time to #DefundPolice and end US military funding to Israel. Tell Congress to #InvestInJustice

@phillegitimate @colleenwood_ @futuredrwillis @carlammm Then I’d def recommend the above. Plus Vine’s other work. And my newer unpublished work goes into the cultural toxiv violence of bases/ops/etc too 😱🔫

[Drake Logan 🖇 @dr3keness]

@phillegitimate @colleenwood_ @futuredrwillis @carlammm top of mind: Ken Macleish’s Making War at Fort Hood, Vine’s Base Nation.

[Elior Sterling (he/him) @eliorsterling]

Did you know that tear gas can cause miscarriages, stop periods from coming for a prolonged time, or cause periods to come too often and too heavily? This is why we need to ban the use of this chemical irritant outright. It's use in war is banned, why should it be OK for police?

Do you have friends, family, or colleagues in the National Guard? Use our resource to help you talk to them — let them know if they choose to resist, they won't be alone. https://t.co/yAJwnkNsGs
