Lealtad, facciones y miedo: comprender la evolución del feudalismo tóxico de Estados Unidos bajo Trump

En el mundo medieval, el poder dependía de la proximidad. Los reyes otorgaban tierras a cambio de lealtad. Los señores exigían tributo. Los campesinos, sin voz directa en su gobierno, vivían y morían bajo un régimen que no podían desafiar. La arquitectura del feudalismo era rígida pero familiar: jerarquías impuestas mediante la violencia, lealtad comprada con favores, y la verdad subordinada a las ambiciones de la élite gobernante. Mil años después, esa arquitectura luce diferente, pero los principios permanecen. En Estados Unidos, bajo Donald Trump —tanto durante su primera presidencia como ahora—, la reaparición de dinámicas feudales no es...

Episcopal Church refuses to aid the resettlement of Trump’s fake White South African refugees

The Episcopal Church has drawn a sharp line against the Trump regime’s fast-tracked resettlement of White South Africans, condemning the program as a betrayal of America’s refugee principles and a dangerous politicization of racial identity. In a break with decades of collaboration, the church announced it would withdraw from its federal refugee resettlement grants rather than take part in what it described as a racially selective, ethically indefensible campaign. Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe announced the decision on May 12, hours before a private charter, paid for by U.S. taxpayers, carrying 59 White South Africans touched down at Dulles International...

A War on Barbie: Why American women and children are the target of Trump’s tariffs and toxic ideology

Donald Trump’s outlandish and disruptive trade war has become both an economic weapon and a cultural statement. One of his targets is as unlikely as it is revealing: Barbie. Once a pink-plastic icon of American girlhood, the Barbie brand has become a new battlefield in Trump’s broader conflict against the norms of global trade. But the impact goes beyond tariffs and supply chains. Analysts warn that his regime’s dismissive stance toward the cultural and economic value of toys like Barbie reveals a deeper, gendered hostility that threatens American families and their financial stability. A TRADE WAR HITS THE TOY...

Por qué el poder sin control y las tácticas de ICE bajo Trump han generado comparaciones con la policía secreta

El Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas de EE. UU. (ICE, por sus siglas en inglés) no es una fuerza de policía secreta, todavía. Pero las acciones recientes tomadas por ICE bajo el régimen de Donald Trump plantean paralelismos urgentes e ineludibles. En solo dos semanas, ICE deportó ilegalmente a un padre de Maryland con protección legal contra la expulsión y detuvo a una becaria Fulbright turca sin el debido proceso. Ambas acciones socavan la autoridad judicial, eluden las protecciones legales y exponen la creciente disposición de la agencia a actuar como un brazo de ejecución del poder...

Wisconsin’s enduring appeal grows as climate instability and extremism reshape life in other states

At a time when states across the country wrestle with environmental volatility, political extremism, or dwindling natural resources, Wisconsin offers a quietly compelling case for why it remains one of the most livable places in America. This is not a slight against other states. Many have their own unique advantages, cultural richness, and economic strengths. But Wisconsin’s particular combination of geographic fortune, abundant resources, and civic stability continues to make it a compelling home for those seeking balance, safety, and quality of life. One of Wisconsin’s most underrated advantages is its relative immunity to the natural disasters that plague...

Trump’s Executive Order elevates law enforcement as a class unto itself while criminalizing accountability

In an aggressive and far-reaching executive order issued April 28, Donald Trump has laid the groundwork for a sweeping federal intervention into local law enforcement, stripping away oversight, militarizing civilian policing, and threatening legal retribution against officials who promote diversity or limit aggressive police tactics. Falsely framed as a law-and-order initiative, the order directs the Department of Justice and the Department of Defense to “unleash” law enforcement, providing legal shields to officers accused of misconduct, dissolving consent decrees that hold departments accountable, and flooding local agencies with military-grade equipment and personnel. But beneath the political rhetoric of safety lies...
