DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I’m pro rein in Trump, anti election deniers, anti scumbag abusers and pro stop the billionaires from killing us. So I don’t give a damn where you are on the center to left spectrum. I really don’t f-ing care. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 01/08/2026I know representatives shouldn’t just be able to not show up for work but isn’t it advantageous to Dems for McConnell to be a non-vote right now? I say, let him stay away. 100
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 01/08/2026I wonder if any of the media outlets will apologize to David Hearn for allowing Trump officials to defame him about the reflecting pool, especially knowing this administration’s track record of lying. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 19/07/2026The right went crazy when 13 soldiers were killed when we left Afghanistan. Maybe mistakes were made but Biden faced an impossible situation that was set up by Trump. But they are saying absolutely nothing about the deaths from the Iran War. Once again they don’t give it sh$t about our military. 020
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 17/07/2026I know it’s easy to make fun of MAGA voters. But I give you Fetterman and Platner. Oh and I fell for Sinema despite warnings in AZ Dem circles. 010
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Lindsey Graham’s death should be a lesson to all politicians. He was barely pronounced dead before speculation about senate leadership, who his successor will be, and of course the fate of the voting suppression bill. You simply are NOT as important as you think you are. Do the right thing. 010
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Lindsey Graham’s eyes lighting up on AF One with Trump at the thought of a war with Iran, at the thought of killing thousands if not millions still sickens me. Please spare me “don’t talk ill of the dead”. 010
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 12/07/2026There have been people in my life, very close to me, who did not deserve praise after their death nor did they deserve my silence. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 10/07/2026The U.S. is out of the World Cup. Time for ICE Gestapo to start their terror again. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 08/07/2026It says something about politics that a not so small number of politicians are actual scumbags. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Wondering how the Deep State caused the U.S. Soccer team to lose. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Still waiting for that 1950s style “Have you no shame?” moment. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Early 2000s my (late)husband and I had a debate. I was a math teacher and he had taught social studies. I said STEM was the most critical for the next gen. He argued to ignore the central importance of civics and history would be a grave mistake. Yep you were right George. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Trump’s kids are not “anchor babies” (and wow do I hate that description.) They were born to an American citizen father. They would have been citizens even had they been born abroad. They derived citizenship through him. It is frustrating to accuse MAGA of being ignorant and then we post false info. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Is it worth remembering that this country was founded with rights being given only to white male landowners and on the backs of slaves and the genocide of the indigenous? If we are not going to go forward with justice and equity and a deference to the “common man” then why should I celebrate July 4? 010
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Based on most of the rulings of the SC it seems to me that with a few exceptions they do not see a role for Congress. It seems they feel power rests in either the states or the presidency. Clear examples are campaign finance reform, industry regulation and environmental laws—all dead. 120
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 29/06/2026I believe there is a chance the Supreme Court will uphold birthright citizenship but with the caveat that people here on temporary visas or are here without authorization will not be eligible. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 29/06/2026We need to stop getting swayed by a few Supreme Court decisions we like. This Court is unraveling all of the twentieth century advances made to protect the average citizen and thwart corruption. They have given Trump all he needs to complete the rest of his authoritarian plans. We are in trouble. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Despite today’s ruling I no longer trust the Post Office. I will still get my ballot by mail but I will drop it off at an official drop-off site. We shouldn’t kid ourselves. This regime will do everything to disrupt voting and disenfranchise citizens. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 29/06/2026This Supreme Court likes to give Trump a small loss before handing down a big win. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Before I’d get on that Ferris Wheel at Trump’s humongous, never seen anything like it fair I’d want to know if the owner got the gig through a no-bid contract. 011
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 27/06/2026When both leadership and the populace can’t agree on the very foundations of the institutions of their nation there is no recovering. When I’m told that this is “giving up”, I don’t agree. It’s stating simply what I believe to be inevitable. We are in a crisis akin to our Civil War. 020
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 19/06/2026So the right hated the deal and the left mocked it and so now we will probably end up in a worse war. Thanks for nothing everyone. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Why was I surprised at how many individuals and corporations gave in to Trump? Corruption and maximizing benefits for themselves is how most of them have come to be where they’re at. I’ve been kicking myself at how many years I’ve bought into some ideal that has never existed. It’s humbling. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Can we all stop making noise about the Iran deal?! Let’s just end this stupid thing. If the noise keeps up the neocons might just be able to convince him to go all in. Let’s give him the space to get us the hell out of there. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 15/06/2026MAGA: “We just wanna have fun and be allowed to be racist, women-haters, homophobic, and white supremacists and you lefties are just such buzzkills. That’s why we’re winning.” That’s my takeaway from the posts on X today. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 14/06/2026I repeat myself. Trump is a vulgar ass but a vulgar ass voted in by our neighbors. If the country we know is about to end we must remember that the collective we did it to ourselves. We invited the criminal into our house. He didn’t break in. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 14/06/2026I’m not a trillionaire. But I know I will leave this Earth having lived a much happier life than Elon Musk. Too many yearn for the wrong things. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 11/06/2026I know lots of you out there want to kill off the boomers asap but just remember you’ll still be left with Bezos(barely a boomer), Zuckerberg, Musk, baby Ellison, Thiel, Trump kids, and more. Enjoy 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 10/06/2026No evidence of fraud but come on California your election laws are brilliantly stupid. Way to play into the hands of the conspiracy mongers. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Vote tallies should not be released until most ballots have been counted. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 08/06/2026I’m watching a former student’s astrophysics PhD defense and wow do I feel out of my element. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 07/06/2026I am sincerely asking people to stop the generation wars. I get it that it was originally used for data collection but it’s getting ridiculous. Even for data reasons do boomers ‘46 and ‘64 really share the same youth experiences? Gen X ‘65 and ‘79? Millennial ‘80 and ‘96? Etc? Please! 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Trump doesn’t get “When the going get tough the tough get going” actually means. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 07/06/2026It’s been said repeatedly but this is NOT just a Trump problem. This is a AMERICA problem. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 06/06/2026It was the Republicans who pushed mail-in voting in AZ in the early 90s. They thought it would help Republican turnout. Now that it’s popular with everyone and Democrats have fully embraced it Repubs want it gone. Go figure. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Aren’t we missing the real story? If the ruling class wanted Trump gone he’d be gone. Trump is not the real threat, he is the useful village idiot. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Brown v Board of Education is the logical next step for these asses. I wouldn’t be surprised if Helvering v Davis (Social Security) will be on the chopping block too. Russell Vought is seeing his vision come true. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 03/06/2026I can’t unsubscribe from Paramount+ because I am already unsubscribed. 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 02/06/2026So Jill Biden thinks Joe would have won. Narcissism runs deep in politics. 010
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 01/06/2026We are constantly bombarded with images, news, opinions, videos, and messages. Is it any wonder that when everything matters nothing matters? 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Besides the People themselves, only one part of one institution has kept us from outright dictatorship—most of the Federal District Courts. I’m sure the fascists are eyeing them big time. Every Other Institution Has Failed Us. 010
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Anyone still have a $200 bicentennial commemorative dollar bill with Gerald Ford’s picture on the front? 000
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Why aren’t all Democrats in Congress at Delaney Hall right now? They still aren’t grasping why so many of us are angry with them. 1741295
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 28/05/2026I’ve been thinking lately that maybe some good will come of us no longer being the alpha dog of the world. 010
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Fundamentalist fruitcakes from the 1600s would be impressed by today’s fundamentalist fruitcakes 010
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Just called my “I have no position on that” Congressman Juan Ciscomani from AZ 6th on his views about the slush fund and guess what? “The congressman has no position on that”. Why are we paying these fools? 020
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 24/05/2026I want us out of Iran even if that means we “surrender”. I’m sick of these wars of choice and have been for all my life. Which war have we won since WW2? 010
DPettit @depcasa.bsky.social · 21/05/202613 soldiers died getting out of Afghanistan on a timeline set by Trump and the right went nuts. Biden mounted their loss. 13 soldiers died in a war started by Trump and he and his fan club dismiss it as ONLY 13 lives. 010
