Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."

Just saying it right out loud now.

“Citizenship is already a requirement to vote, and instances of noncitizen voting are rare. Many eligible citizens don’t have access to documentary proof of citizenship. There are better ways to verify citizenship that put the responsibility on government, not voters.” @bipartisanpolicy.org

We could have had paid leave and affordable care, infrastructure, health care.

Instead we have slashed education, food, and health care, cut billionaires’ taxes, invited terrorism and world war for no clear objective. I won’t stop fighting but goddamn, how close we were to a great country.

Vote.

Israeli map showing all of southern Lebanon in red with yellow arrows pointing to north of the Litani river

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.

They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.

The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

For less than the cost of our tax cuts to the 1% we could have offered paid leave for every working person—twice. The June attack on Iran alone cost more than paid leave for all. Now it’s a billion a day and he’s talking Cuba. But no health care, child care. He’s pillaging America to bomb the world.

This is what they’re bragging about.
This is what they’re doing with our tax dollars.
This is what they’re making hype videos about.
This is what they’re doing to distract from their failures and their files—this is what they’re doing for sport.

A record share of U.S. workers now have access to paid leave There’s still no federal paid leave policy in the United States, but 14 laws now extend coverage to an estimated 46 million people.

But as @dhuckelbridge.bsky.social told @chabeli.bsky.social, we need a national paid leave program to make sure that everyone in the country can take care of themselves and their loved ones: 19thnews.org/2026/03/paid...

so in conclusion, the state of the union is actually very bad because a man who tried to end democracy is using the government to personally enrich himself and his buddies while executing citizens and noncitizens alike

Paid leave does not hurt business. A federal paid leave program would reduce turnover and training costs. It would help employers and level the playing field for small businesses. It would increase performance and productivity. There is a proven, positive return on the investment. #PaidLeaveForAll

Paid leave reduces pay gaps, retirement gaps, savings and wealth gaps. It offers all working people the ability to work and care with more freedom, security, and dignity. #PaidLeaveForAll

“No one should have to choose between paying their rent or taking care of their families… this is not the choice a wealthy country should be forcing its families to make. This is a moral and policy failure.” @repilhan.bsky.social at the House Committee on Education & Workforce hearing today

I haven’t watched most of the Olympics and it’s a tiny anecdote but I’ll tell you this: Watching women jump for joy and lift each other up for the other’s win, watching them embrace and cry with their nanny—my tired soul needed that.

This entire world order can and must be different.

What a contrast. The man robbing working Americans to enrich the Epstein class and build concentration camps, bombing to distract from heinous crimes. And the woman who will pass paid leave, lower costs, improve education and housing. Government can be a profound power for good—it’s what we make it.
