Happy Easter to all except those who think the man who gave us the Beatitudes, the Sermon on the Mount, and who healed those who came to him in need wants us dropping bombs on hospitals. On bridges. On innocent children.

Wake the f*uck up! You are the very people he preached against.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

Today is the one year anniversary of DOGE's raid on the US Institute of Peace. DC Metropolitan police literally broke open doors at the institute's privately-owned building to let Trump officials bully their way in.

Read about my lawsuit to retrieve the body camera footage, and what it revealed:

President Trump,
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
I support the values and the foreign policies that you campaigned on in 2016, 2020, 2024, which astenanted ray out rot ted merica ne presus ersto at the nade i ted the wealth
and prosperity of our nation.
In your first administration, you understood better than any modern President how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never-ending wars. You demonstrated this by killing Qasam Solamani and by defeating ISIS.
Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again.
As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives.
I pray that you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran, and who we are doing it for. The time for bold action is now. You can reverse course and chart a new path for our nation, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos. You hold …

Serious times. Serious author. Silly husband. Love of my life out with another novel (coming in May) that is an absurdist, satirical critique of American discourse.

A lot of us have been saying the people in the Trump administration act like this war is a video game.

The White House troll account confirmed it. 👀

Christian Nationalists are no friends to Jewish people. Jews are necessary to the fulfillment of their eschatological wet dreams, just like American dollars (and bombs) are necessary to Netanyahu's greater-Israel wet dreams.

How to sell and market a novel by an old white guy — Kristina Makansi | Marie K. Savage How to sell and market a novel by an old white guy when the old white guy isn't really a white guy...or is, at least, much more than that.

📚 Just in time for more f*cking BS from DC, we've got a new blog post up about how to market the hubbies' (IG: jasonmakansi) novel, WREQUIEM AT THE RED ROCKS, out 5.19.

It's absurdist satire targeting concepts of identity, freedom, American exceptionalism.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

Reminder:

A drunk from Fox News is heading the DOD. An ex-heroin addict who snorted cocaine off of toilet seats is running the HHS . A puppy killer who’s having an affair on her private sex-jet is running DHS. And they all report to a 34count convicted felon who’s accused of raping children.
