While Taylor Swift finally owns her masters, Trump is using tariffs, golf resorts, and meme coins as part of a corruption scheme to enrich himself and his family.

If capturing the state is corruption, what do we call hacking and hollowing it out?
Musk and DOGE are dismantling key institutions under a technocratic and reactionary ideology. There is an urgent need to understand this new kind of power.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:
-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.

SCOOP: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

The "Muskovites" at DOGE started as a joke, but their attack on USAID reveals something deeper: a reactionary ideology rooted in incel culture and hostility to diversity.
In my latest article, I analyze what this means for government and inclusion programs: www.eluniversal.com.mx/opinion/iren...

María E. Ríos irrumpió en un evento de Sheinbaum en Oaxaca para exigir justicia por el intento de feminicidio que vivió.
En lugar de callar a la gente que abucheaba a Ríos, escucharla con respeto y obligar al góber a dar la cara, Sheinbaum sólo sonreía.

Trump launched his own cryptocurrency a few days ago, but behind this 'meme coin' lie conflicts of interest, potential corruption, and the beginnings of a technological kleptocracy.
