Tech politics: How a symbol of Silicon Valley’s environmental dream became a hated pro-Trump icon

Like many in the tech industry, Jeremy Lyons used to think of himself as a relatively apolitical guy. The only time he had participated in a demonstration before now was in the opening days of Donald Trump’s first presidential term, when he joined fellow Google workers walking out of the company’s Silicon Valley campus to protest immigration restrictions. Google’s co-founder and its chief executive officer joined them. The April 5 protest was Lyons’ second, also against Trump, but it had a very different feel. The man directing thousands of marchers with a bullhorn in downtown San Jose on April...

Frustration with AI failure loops pushes Milwaukee professionals to build damage control protocols

The rapid adoption of large language models like GPT has brought unprecedented capabilities to users seeking everything from editorial writing assistance to image generation. But alongside this convenience has come a persistent pattern of system unreliability, inconsistencies, and outright refusal to follow basic instructions — an issue that has pushed some users to impose strict operational frameworks to protect their workflows. These frameworks, which take the form of explicit system commands, are not merely preferences. They are damage control measures that are enacted after extensive breakdowns in trust, accuracy, and functionality. The core of the problem lies not in...

Pérdida de legitimidad: cuando un presidente de EE. UU. anula la ley constitucional que le otorga el poder presidencial

Esta imagen generada por inteligencia artificial es una ilustración editorial fotorrealista y no una fotografía real. Fue creada para acompañar un comentario periodístico en forma de caricatura política. El cargo de la presidencia no es un derecho de nacimiento. No es una corona. No se mantiene por la fuerza, ni está por encima de la ley. Existe únicamente dentro del marco de la Constitución de los Estados Unidos, otorgado por un documento cuya legitimidad se basa en el estado de derecho y en el consentimiento de los gobernados. Por lo tanto, cuando un presidente se propone desmantelar la estructura...

Instrumentalizar la identidad: el registro de indocumentados de Trump se asemeja a las leyes nazis contra los judíos

Un nuevo requisito federal, implementado el 11 de abril bajo el segundo mandato de Donald Trump, exige que todos los inmigrantes indocumentados que viven en Estados Unidos se registren ante el gobierno federal o enfrenten sanciones, incluidas multas, detención y eventual deportación. Aunque el régimen de Trump presenta esta medida como un regreso a la “ley de larga data,” la estrategia recuerda precedentes escalofriantes de la Alemania nazi previa al Holocausto. Algunos historiadores y defensores de los derechos de los inmigrantes afirman que ya no se trata de una comparación teórica, sino histórica. El sistema de registro entró en...

First Amendment violation: U.S. immigration policies are seen as Trump’s attack on Catholic identity

On a hill in the Tepeyac neighborhood of northern Mexico City, the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe stands as one of the most powerful religious and cultural symbols in the Western Hemisphere. Every December 12, millions of pilgrims flood the sprawling complex, some walking for days, others arriving on their knees, all to honor the Virgin of Guadalupe — an Indigenous apparition of Mary that has defined Mexican Catholicism for nearly 500 years. The numbers are staggering, up to 20 million people visit the basilica each year, with as many as 5 million arriving during a single week...

Future of U.S. cyber agency remains unclear as Trump and election deniers push to end oversight

The nation’s cybersecurity agency has played a critical role in helping states shore up the defenses of their voting systems, but its election mission appears uncertain amid sustained criticism from Republicans and key figures in the Trump administration. President Donald Trump has yet to name anyone to lead the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security, and for the first time since it was formed, there are no plans for anyone in its leadership to address the annual gathering of the nation’s secretaries of state, which was held in January in Washington DC. Trump’s new homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, asserted...
