The story below is fiction and written based on the following quote from the book 1984 and tied into today’s current political climate.

"Big Brother is watching you." - George Orwell 1984

Setting: Sarah sits alone in her dimly lit apartment, staring at a laptop screen, her voice trembling with a mix of fear and defiance. The year is 2025, and the Trump administration’s data-sharing initiatives with Palantir are in full swing.

Big Brother is watching you. That’s what they used to say, right? Just words in a book we read in high school, something about a dystopia that felt so far away. But now? Now I feel it. Every click, every word, every thought I’ve ever shared—it’s all out there, stitched together by some AI monster called Foundry, run by Palantir. They’re watching me. Me, Sarah Thompson, a nobody. A third-grade teacher from Ohio who’s never broken a law, never even gotten a parking ticket. All I did was post on X, just one post, saying I didn’t agree with the mass deportations. I called them cruel, said they tore families apart. It wasn’t even that viral, just a few likes, a couple of retweets. But that was enough.

It started small. My bank account froze last week. No explanation, just a vague email about "suspicious activity." Then my health insurance got canceled, poof, gone, right when I needed a refill on my asthma meds. I called the Social Security Administration, thinking it was a mistake, but the agent said my records were "under review." Under review? For what? I’ve paid taxes my whole life! Then yesterday, I got a letter from the school district. They’re "investigating" me for "anti-American sentiments" based on my social media activity. My job’s on the line, my savings are locked, and I can’t even afford my inhaler.

I did some digging, probably stupid, but I had to know. Turns out, the Trump administration signed an executive order in March 2025, something about "eliminating information silos." Sounds harmless, right? But it’s not. It’s Palantir, that creepy tech company, slurping up every piece of data about me,m my tax records, my medical history, my student loan payments, even my location from my phone. They’re building what the news calls a "master database," cross-referencing everything to create a profile of who I am. And because I dared to say something against their policies, I’m flagged. A "potential critic," maybe even a "domestic threat." That’s what the reports say they’re doing—targeting people who speak out, using AI to hunt us down like we’re criminals.

I keep thinking about my students. Little Emma, whose dad got deported last month. I hugged her when she cried, told her it’d be okay. Now I wonder if that’s in my file too, some algorithm marking me as a sympathizer. What’s next? Will ICE show up at my door? Will I lose my home? I read about Palantir’s $113 million in contracts since Trump took office, plus that $795 million Pentagon deal. They’re not just watching immigrants, they’re watching all of us. Every American, every detail, all in one place, ready to be weaponized. I spoke up once, and now my life’s unraveling. Big Brother isn’t just watching me. He’s coming for me. And I’m terrified there’s nowhere left to hide."
