Computational propaganda doesn’t just mislead, it demobilizes. It erodes trust in institutions and hardens political beliefs, even when the information is false. I write about this issue today in @eluniversalmx.bsky.social

🧹 Witch hunts never ended, they just changed form.

Modern witch hunts aren’t bonfires; they’re rollbacks on rights, care gaps forcing women home and online misogyny.

The question isn’t whether society still believes in witches, it’s why it still needs them.@eluniversalmx.bsky.social bit.ly/3WxnqQc

I wrote about this in my latest column for @eluniversalmx.bsky.social

#InternationalWomensDay comes with an unspoken manual: demand rights, but don’t make anyone uncomfortable; protest, but not with anger. In my latest article, I break down the double standards imposed on women today and everyday.

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.

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.
I analyze this case in my article for @eluniversalmx.bsky.social

Corruption not only intensifies gender violence but also creates a barrier to accessing justice. Today in El Universal I write about the need to integrate a gender perspective into anti-corruption efforts ahead of the upcoming judicial elections in Mexico.
