Elon Musk Uses Social Media to Spread Misinformation About U.S. Soldiers in Mexico
Elon Musk used his X account to spread disinformation about the Mexican Senate's approval of U.S. soldiers entering Mexico.

Listen to this note:

 

Billionaire Elon Musk, used his social media account to spread misinformation about the Mexican Senate's approval for U.S. military personnel to enter the country and combat drug cartels.

Musk, who is a close ally of President Donald Trump shared a post from blogger and influencer Nick Sortor, who wrote: "The Mexican Senate has APPROVED the entry of U.S. Special Forces to fight the cartels. FINALLY!"

Nick Sortor later deleted the post. However before it was deleted Musk reshared the post on his personal X account saying, "LFG," which stands for "Let’s F***ing Go."

Nick Sortor later deleted the post. However before it was deleted Musk reshared the post on his personal X account saying, "LFG," which stands for "Let’s F***ing Go."

However, the information is completely false, as the Mexican Senate only approved the entry of a few U.S. military members for collaborative training purposes.

The Mexican Senate, formally known as the Senate of the Republic, unanimously authorized the head of the Federal Executive Power to allow 10 U.S. Army personnel to enter national territory to participate in a training program called 'Strengthening the Capacity of SEMAR Special Operations Forces.'

The proposal was approved by the assembly with 107 votes in favor and sent to the Federal Executive for constitutional action.

According to the document issued by the Mexican government, the training will take place from February 17 to March 28 at the Specialized Marine Infantry Training Center, located in San Luis Carpizo, Campeche.

On behalf of the Navy Commission, Senator Rolando Rodrigo Zapata Bello stated that cooperation with the United States to train Mexico's Navy personnel "represents a significant opportunity to strengthen national security." For this reason, the proposal has been carefully analyzed to ensure that it preserves our sovereignty and strengthens our national capabilities.

He explained that joint training with the U.S. Armed Forces could enhance combat, rescue, navigation, and tactical equipment skills, as well as improve the professionalism, and efficiency of the Mexican Navy to better respond to the growing threats facing the country.

However, he emphasized that this process of modernization and collaboration should not lead to excessive dependence on external technology or training from foreign countries, nor will it persuade Mexico's strategic decisions for foreign interests.

In this regard, he highlighted that transparency and accountability are necessary to ensure that this partnership aligns with national interests and does not compromise Mexico's plural, sovereign, and inclusive future. Additionally, investing in the development of Mexican human capital must remain a priority.

The goal of the training is for the U.S. Special Operations Command personnel and the Mexican Navy’s Special Operations Unit to conduct training activities, including the execution of tactics, techniques, and procedures for conventional and unconventional combat operations on land and water environments, as well as air operations.

Medios de comunicación se enfrentan a censura con la llegada de Donald Trump
Medios de comunicación se enfrentan a censura
Medios de comunicación se enfrentan a censura, a unas semanas después del inicio de la nueva Administración Trump, muchas redacciones en diferentes medios de comunicación están preocupadas por mantener su independencia editorial.

Listen to this note:

 

Los medios de comunicación se enfrentan diariamente a la censura en diferentes ámbitos y con la llegada de Donald Trump como presidente, cualquiera que no coincida con sus ideas en temas cruciales como las detenciones y deportaciones masivas, puede ser acusado de violar alguna ley con fines de intimidación.

A unas semanas después del inicio de la nueva Administración Trump, muchas redacciones en diferentes medios de comunicación están preocupadas por mantener su independencia editorial, tema crucial que fue abordado durante una sesión informativa realizada por Ethnic Media Services.

Un caso de esto, fue el de la emisora de radio KCBS del Área de la Bahía, la cual se encuentra en la mira de una investigación de la Comisión Federal de Comunicaciones (FCC) de Estados Unidos que investiga y toma medidas contra violaciones de reglas técnicas de radiodifusión, esto por el manejo de información del 26 de enero sobre las redadas del ICE en San José. 

Y es que, la emisora corre el riesgo de perder su licencia, pero David Loy, director jurídico de First Amendment Coalition, explicó que lo más probable es que no sea así, ya que el mensaje real es cuidar su contenido, generando intimidación y censura en estos temas. 

Loy comentó que los oficiales locales han estado amenazando a los periodistas, pues se tuvo un caso donde agentes entraron a la casa del periodista por información de una detención que se había grabado.

El director jurídico de First Amendment Coalition recordó que la FCC solamente tiene jurisdicción en los medios de radio y televisión, por lo que redes sociales o digitales no están a su alcance.

Para hacer frente a este momento del país, la prensa debe resistir, no dejar que los intimiden y reportar las noticias, pues se debe cumplir con la responsabilidad de mantener informada a la comunidad, agregó el abogado. 

Joel Simon, director fundador de la Iniciativa para la Protección del Periodismo en la escuela de periodismo Craig Newmark de Nueva York, explicó que en muchas partes del mundo se vive de esta manera; los gobiernos no permiten la libertad de prensa, sin embargo, Estados Unidos está por enfrentarse a una presión legal y ajuste de normas. 

“Yo he pensado que el periodismo y la información son parte de un sistema global que atraviesa fronteras”, expresó Simon. 

Agregó que, una vez impuesta la censura en los medios de comunicación, históricamente no existen muchos casos en los que pueden recuperarse, por lo que será necesario resistir en unión e información verídica. 

“Fuera de Estados Unidos, gran parte del acoso legal contra los medios no está relacionado con la producción de contenido, sino con otras cosas como cuestiones impositivas, acusaciones de fraude y prácticas laborales”, comentó Simon, recomendando que los periodistas en Estados Unidos deben de preparase para lo mismo.

Zach Press, abogado senior de Lawyers for Reporters en el Centro Cyrus R. Vance para la Justicia Internacional, explicó que una manera de protegerse al estar reportando redadas de ICE, es estar informados, pues algunos estados tienen leyes que podría perjudicar la labor del periodista o evitarte un arresto.

Recomendó que estar al día con pagos, permisos y/o licencias, entre otros, para evitar pretextos legales que puedan utilizar en su contra, por lo que invitó a los medios y periodistas a tener documentos a la mano.

Los panelistas concluyeron que hacer frente como periodistas o medios de comunicación ante las medidas que ha implementado Donald Trump será pieza clave para cuidar de la comunidad, pues informar no es una labor fácil, pero no se puede dejar a un lado por el miedo o la intimidación.

De acuerdo a los datos de la Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de San Mateo, existe una disminución constante del número de incidentes de uso de la fuerza policiales en condado de San Mateo denunciados en los últimos años.

Listen to this note:

 

De acuerdo a los datos de la San Mateo County Sheriff's Office, existe una disminución constante del número de incidentes de uso de la fuerza denunciados en los últimos años. 

A través de un comunicado se detalló que, en 2024, la Oficina del Sheriff informó de 36 usos de la fuerza menos por parte de los agentes y funcionarios penitenciarios en comparación con el año anterior. 

La tendencia a la baja, dijo, comenzó en 2022 y ha continuado desde entonces. 

Y es que, la Oficina del Sheriff tiene políticas sólidas en torno al uso de la fuerza que se clasifican en función del nivel de fuerza utilizada y van desde el control con las manos vacías/fuerza física, la fuerza menos que letal y la fuerza letal.

En ese sentido, las autoridades precisaron que las detenciones de control fueron el tipo de fuerza más común utilizado en 2024. 

A su vez, precisó que, en los últimos años, no ha habido informes de uso de fuerza letal, hecho que la sheriff del condado de San Mateo, Christina Corpus, atribuyó al descenso a las inversiones en formación en desescalada e intervención en crisis, así como a las asociaciones y colaboraciones comunitarias. 

“Generar confianza en nuestras comunidades es esencial, y me complace compartir que nuestras cifras de uso de la fuerza han disminuido significativamente. Estos datos demuestran una mejora en las interacciones y mejores resultados con aquellos a quienes servimos”, señaló la alguacil Corpus. 

La funcionaria destacó que, en los últimos años, se han realizado importantes inversiones en formación para la reducción de conflictos para el personal de la Oficina que ella encabeza. 

“En 2024, 500 de nuestros empleados jurados y profesionales recibieron formación sobre concienciación sobre el autismo de un reconocido psicólogo del Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital. Esta formación, y otros programas, están demostrando ser un éxito», puntualizó.

Año Número de incidentes de uso de fuerza
2020 118
2021 137
2022 127
2023 107
2024 71

Following confirmation of Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education in the U.S., experts consider risks in the Latino community

Following confirmation of Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education in the U.S., experts consider risks in the Latino community
Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education
Linda McMahon's appointment as Secretary of Education means the end of the Department and the cuts in federal funding to schools and universities, leaving students with disabilities, low-income students, homeless students, and immigrants totally vulnerable.

Listen to this note:

 

Linda McMahon, the former CEO of WWE, has been officially named as the United States Secretary of Education, and with that, for many experts, comes the end of the Department and the cut of federal funding to schools and universities, leaving students with disabilities, low-income students, homeless students, and immigrants totally vulnerable.

In an interview with La Opinión, Keri Rodrigues, founder and president of the National Parents Union, warned that “First of all, what will be eliminated will be bilingual education.”
“I can anticipate that you will hear from President Trump that English is the language of this nation and that they need to know it and that we are not going to pay for them to learn it. So, I would not be surprised to hear that, first of all, bilingual education will be cut,” he told the outlet.

She added that there are 7.4 million children in the United States who require special education, and this will greatly affect them.

He added that those who live in a Republican state, such as Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama or Louisiana, will be the most affected, since they depend largely on Title One funding, which is intended for low-income people.
Rodrigues said that between 20 and 25 percent of the funding in these Republican states actually comes from the federal government.

Although he has not done so yet, various American media reported last week that Donald Trump is about to sign a new series of executive orders, including one aimed at closing the Department of Education.

Notably, with the demise of the department, several diversity and inclusion (DEI) programs would be severely impacted, as Trump has promised to cut off federal money to schools and universities that promote “critical race theory, transgender craze, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content” and to reward states and schools that end teacher tenure and enact universal school choice programs.

During his 2024 election campaign, Trump repeatedly promised to gut the Department of Education if he won a second term in office, saying it had been infiltrated by “radicals, fanatics and Marxists.” He has also said the agency’s power should be returned to states and schools.

He has also criticized American schools for being too liberal, having already signed several executive orders on issues in education such as race, gender and protests on college campuses.

The Department of Education was created in 1979 under President Jimmy Carter; its primary function is financial, distributing billions of dollars in federal funds to colleges and universities, as well as managing the federal student loan portfolio.

In turn, it regulates services for students, from those with disabilities to low-income and homeless children, and, through its Civil Rights Office, it conducts research and publishes guidelines on how civil rights laws should be applied, such as for LGBTQ+ students and students of color.

Elon Musk has also had his hands in this, as the Department of Education is being targeted by the Department of Government Efficiency, headed by the tycoon and owner of companies such as X and Tesla.

Dismantling the Department of Education will not be easy, as it requires congressional approval, so experts say this may be unlikely. The bill would likely need 60 votes in the Senate to overcome a parliamentary filibuster, meaning at least seven Democrats would have to support the measure.

Latino Freeze, the movement that calls to stop spending money on companies against DEI programs

Latino Freeze

Latino Freeze, una iniciativa que alienta a las personas a usar sus billeteras para enviar un mensaje, una iniciativa que se llevará a cabo a lo largo de todo el año con la finalidad de que realmente estas empresas vean el impacto económico y la importancia de la comunidad inmigrante latina en Estados Unidos.Es hora de que las y los latinos en Estados Unidos dejen de gastar su dinero en marcas y empresas a los que no les interesen como clientes y mucho menos como personas, al menos esto afirma el movimiento Latino Freeze, which was founded in 2025 and is committed to showing the value of Latinos, other minorities, and their allies in the United States.

Protesting with one's wallet has become a popular tactic among those who want to confront what they consider injustices.

When Donald Trump took office as president on January 20, many things changed, including signing an executive order that eliminated the federal government's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, and yes, the immigrant community is among them.

This new policy was supported by various companies that reduced or eliminated these types of programs, so consumers are planning how to fight back with their money, yes, exactly what hurts the owners of these establishments the most.
This brings us to the Latino Freeze Movement, an initiative that encourages people to use their wallets to send a message.

According to the International Monetary Fund and the Latino GDP Report, the Latino Gross Domestic Product in the United States is the fifth largest in the world at $3.7 trillion, as Latinos represent 20 percent of the U.S. population.
Latino Freeze has called on Latinos to stop spending their money, starting NOW, until they demonstrate that they care about minority and immigrant populations in the United States.

These are the action items they have called for: save and save your money for important expenses, buy only the essentials, i.e. food, and be thoughtful and selective when purchasing.

Also, continue working and seeking services such as medical care, and do not make large purchases or cancel subscriptions.

They also called on people to support Latin American, African American and related businesses that support this movement, as well as to support local American businesses that support this movement and that value diversity, equity and inclusion programs and immigrants. They also asked people not to forget to make sure they pay their rent, mortgage and bills, responsibilities, health care and taxes, among others.

In general, they have asked to consider shopping at local stores, flea markets, farmers markets, thrift stores and barter stores and not to spend on sports and entertainment (unless they support this movement).

These are the companies they have asked NOT to support and stop buying from: Amazon, Target, Walmart, HobbyLobby, HomeGoods, Marshalls, Sam's Club, Starbuck's, Lowe's, FruitoftheLoom, DairyQueen, Coca Cola, BaskinRobbins, Brown-Forman (Jack Daniels), Home Depot, Tractor Supply, Ace Hardware, Google, Meta, Ford, Harley-Davidson, John Deere, Tesla, Toyota, McDonald's, Wendy's, and In and Out.

On the other hand, they have asked to support companies that have committed to diversity, equity and inclusion programs as well as to the immigrant community, such as Aldi, Costco, Meijer, Kroger, Giant Grocery, Trader Joe's, Ben & Jerry's, Delta, Dutch Bros, elf, Ulta Beauty, Macy's, Old Navy, Nordstrom's, TJMaxx, GoToFoods, Dollar Tree, Walgreen's, Wegman's, Planet Fitness, Procter and Gamble, Craigslist, Barnes & Noble, Godman Sachs, JP Morgan, Apple, DoorDash, Everyday Health, Pinterest, Microsoft, Disney, Netflix and in California, Vallarta Supermarkets, in Texas HEB, El Rancho, Fiesta Mart and La Michoacana.

This tactic by the Latino community, the immigrant community in the United States, has been joined by the African-American and Afro-descendant community, LGBTQ+ and many Americans who are also against these policies of President Donald Trump.

It should be noted that this initiative is planned to be carried out throughout the year so that these companies can truly see the economic impact and importance of the Latino immigrant community in the United States.

Listen to this note:

 

The president Claudia Sheinbaum has sent a letter to Donald Trump with figures related to the export and import of aluminum and steel, making it clear that Mexico iimports much more of these steel materials than it exports and before any negotiation reiterated that "The position will always be the same: coordination and collaboration without subordination, since sovereignty is not negotiable."

“Yesterday I sent a letter to the president with a graph showing the surplus that the United States has with Mexico in the case of steel and aluminum. The idea that President Trump has put forward about tariffs is because he says that the United States is in deficit. What do you mean by that? That it is importing more than it exports, but in the case of aluminum and steel, with Mexico it is the other way around, it exports more than it imports, so I am showing him this graph,” the president said at her morning press conference.

On February 9, Donald Trump announced the imposition of a 25 percent tariff on steel and aluminum entering the United States. This tax is for all countries and will take effect on March 12.

If this were to happen, Nissan Mexico could move its production to another country, to which the president commented that the automotive company has a very large plant in Aguascalientes and would lose the national market if it moved, so it would not be viable. 

On the subject of criminal groups, if they are declared terrorists, Sheinbaum said that she will expand the international lawsuit against arms manufacturers and distributors filed by Mexico, since it would be recognized that 75 percent of the weapons that enter the country come from the United States.

"We will never accept interference and meddling, we will always defend our sovereignty and we are working within that framework," said the president. 

In the case of people deported to Mexico from the United States, he reported that there is an international agreement; direct flights are made to return people to their country of origin such as Guatemala and El Salvador, since January 20, 13,455 people have been received, of which 10,485 are Mexicans and 2,970 are foreigners.

During the question session, a case was presented of alleged companies that promise to carry out procedures to bring relatives of immigrants to the United States under a family unification program, taking away their documents and money; in response to this, the president said that she will place lawyers in Mexico and the United States in the consulates, to provide them with the necessary support. 

In addition, Josefina Rodríguez Zamora, head of the Ministry of Tourism, reported that Mexico received 86.4 million international visitors in 2024, making Mexico the sixth most visited country in the world; tourism contributes 4.4 percent of the national GDP, in addition to this, 4.9 million direct jobs are generated.

In light of this, he stressed that through the platform VisitMexico.com, users will be able to use a new tool that uses artificial intelligence to learn about Mexico.

It is worth noting that the Mexico-United States Tourism Fair will also be held from April 28 to May 1 in Baja California: Rosario-Tijuana and in San Diego, California, there will also be the Taco Festival in that same American city. 

President Sheinbaum concluded by dedicating this day of love and friendship to immigrants.

“Today, the day of love and friendship, we are going to dedicate it to all our migrant brothers and sisters, with all our love. We are a government that puts love above all else, and today our love is dedicated to all our Mexican brothers and sisters who are on the other side, working, supporting their families, helping their families in Mexico, and helping the United States economy,” Sheinbaum said. 

He concluded with the phrase “Long live migrants!”

Pedro Sánchez to Santiago Abascal: “You are strong with the weak and servile with the powerful”

Pedro Sánchez to Santiago Abascal
Pedro Sánchez to Santiago Abascal: “You are strong with the weak and servile with the powerful,” he says in response to his support for Donald Trump even on the tariffs that affect Spain.

Listen to this note:

 

Santiago Abascal, president of VOX, intervened during the control session in the Congress of Deputies in Madrid, questioning the international diplomatic relations that the government promotes with the United States and other countries, to which the president of the Government responded, Pedro Sanchez“You are strong with the weak and servile with the powerful.”

Santiago Abascal is the president of VOX, a Spanish political party founded on December 17, 2013, with a far-right, ultra-conservative and ultra-nationalist ideology.

The president of VOX has criticized Sánchez for his anti-Trump stances, while he votes in favor of the "big tariff" in Brussels, the European Green Pact, to the point that he accused Pedro Sánchez that if Spain is affected and included among the countries with US tariffs, it will be his fault, "Mr. Trump has said that he will exempt Italy from the tariffs because he likes it," commented Santiago Abascal.

On the subject of tariffs, Abascal said, “if tariffs come, it will be your fault. Because Mr. Trump has said that he is going to exempt Italy from tariffs because he likes Meloni. And you, instead of being minimally diplomatic, have become cocky,” addressing Pedro Sánchez.

Abascal, who is also the leader of the European Patriots party, has wanted to present himself as an ally of US President Donald Trump in Europe, even if the 25 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum imports affect Spain.

In this sense, Sánchez, the socialist leader, has challenged people to “cry out” against Trump, telling the president of VOX, “I don't think you will do it, you are strong with the weak, but you are servile with the powerful, as you have shown.” 

At the site, they added that, “the situation in Gaza is not resolved with a real estate deal. It is done by defending and claiming that Palestine is for the Palestinians and Israel is for the Israelis,” said Sánchez, as the Spanish party VOX has supported Trump’s idea of building a “resort” in Gaza and carrying out the expulsion of millions of Palestinians from the territory.

Why does Elon Musk want to buy ChatGPT and who is Sam Altman, the one who doesn't want to sell it to him?
After it became known that Elon Musk wants to buy ChatGPT, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, stated that the company “is not for sale.”
After it became known that Elon Musk wants to buy ChatGPT, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, stated that the company “is not for sale.”

Listen to this note:

 

On February 10, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI (the company that created ChatGPT) said in an interview with Bloomberg that the company is “not for sale,” rejecting Elon Musk’s offer of $97.4 billion.  

The conflict between these technology giants began in 2015, when Elon Musk and Sam Altman, among other investors, injected capital into the project that resulted in ChatGPT. In 2018, Musk left the board of directors of OpenAI and the company cited conflicts of interest with Tesla, which was ceasing to be an electric car company to begin venturing into the field of artificial intelligence development, in addition to denouncing Musk's intentions to become a majority owner of the company's shares. 

Open AI It is a non-profit organization, as described on its official website, and it also clarifies that the work it does is to “advance artificial intelligence in the way that best benefits humanity, since our studies are free of monetary interest, we can focus on a positive impact on humanity.”

In 2023, Elon launched his response to OpenAI, called xAI, and with it the Gork chatbot that the tycoon himself described as “anti-woke.” With this action, the rivalry that began years ago was consolidated in projects that competed for the same space and put Sam Altman back in Musk’s sights. 

Worse yet, President Donald Trump announced a $500 billion investment in an American AI infrastructure, and Sam Altman’s OpenAI, not Musk’s xIA, will be involved in the project. OpenAI announced in a post on X (formerly Twitter) the collaboration with the US government in which Musk commented that they do not actually have the money to carry out such a plan.

Elon Musk's offer is both intimidating and a sign of his childish character. How can we forget when he publicly offered 1 billion dollars to Wikipedia to change its name to Dickipedia? The offer to buy publicly announces that he is the richest human on the planet, and if he wants, he can buy anything. It also gives us a glimpse of the childish and fragile personality of a man who desperately seeks to be the center of attention and throws tantrums when told that his money is not enough to get what he wants. 

Let's be clear, Musk is interested in eliminating his competition and this includes lawsuits and many other "crazy things" as Altman explains in his interview with Bloomberg, but this is a personal problem.

Drug and arms trafficking should be a bilateral issue between Mexico and the United States

Drug and arms trafficking should be a bilateral issue between Mexico and the United States

President Donald Trump has repeatedly blamed Mexico for drug and arms trafficking among Mexican cartels, however, it has been proven that these weapons come from the United States, so this issue should be bilateral, accepting the responsibility of this country. 

According to the CATO Institute, 89 percent of fentanyl traffickers in the United States are Americans, meaning that cartels in this country are taking advantage of ethnic and racial profiling to arrest people, as mentioned by journalist Manuel Ortiz during the radio program Península 360 Press with Marcos Gutiérrez on Hecho en California 

Ortiz toured the Tijuana border, where he was able to observe the work of the National Guard, how all cars are inspected by the agents, checking between the seats and the rest of the car, reminding them that they are looking for drugs such as fentanyl but always respecting human rights.

During the radio program, he mentioned that the physical profile for a drug dealer is very specific, since people with white skin are not doubted, "it's just that here the white people can come and go, since they are not searched or anything, that's how they can pass the drugs," said Ortiz.

Most of the people used to traffic fentanyl are Americans who can cross the border without any problem, he said.

In the case of weapons, the journalist explained that 70 percent of those seized and used by Mexican cartels come from distributors in the United States, mostly from legal sales in Arizona, Texas and California.

“The sale of weapons has been justified, in the Second Amendment of the United States it says: the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, on top of this it also says that a well-regulated militia is necessary for the security of a free state, that is to say that it associates the freedom of the United States with the carrying of weapons.” 

Gun dealers make a lot of money and there is evidence of links to the Republican Party, not only economic but also ideological, said the photographer. 

"The phenomenon of drug trafficking should be addressed on a binational basis, but this is not being done in the United States. The discourse of drug traffickers as terrorists does not match the actions that are being carried out with the United States," said Ortiz. 

He also commented that there is currently a large presence of National Guard elements on the border, but not police on the United States side. “The police presence is mostly on the Mexican side, and it is not a partial or equal effort.”
