Gustavo Petro stated that the nearly 50% drop in cocaine seizures during his government had strengthened drug trafficking organizations, which he claimed had 45% more resources. He said this gave them greater capacity to obtain weapons and mercenaries, buy coca leaves, and kill the population. Petro questioned what he called the media spectacle of Abelardo, who appeared with a gun at his waist and a bulletproof vest. He stated that between August 7 and September 19, 2026, 94,868 kilos were seized, the lowest record in five years for that period. In the first year of his presidency, he noted, 147,239 kilos were seized, 58% more. He added that cocaine seizures had fallen by 47% compared to 2025, with 63,310 kilos confiscated. According to Petro, September recorded the lowest monthly seizure since December 2021, when 36,635 kilos were seized. #Narcotráfico #Cocaína #Incautaciones (translated)

Félix de Bedout stated that a thread from María Paz Gaviria showed that the controversy over Pizarro's hat and the alleged glorification of a guerrilla fighter had served as an excuse for a deeper measure. He claimed that what happened at the National Museum had been a purge comparable to the Nazi campaign against so-called degenerate art, aimed at imposing an official idea of acceptable art. De Bedout pointed out that the measure had been presented as a fight against "woke" culture, despite many of the censored works and objects being from before that term became popular. He also accused those who ran the national cultural institutions of acting with great ignorance and said that, unlike some Nazis who removed works to appropriate them while admiring their authors, in Colombia they did not understand what they were seeing. Finally, he highlighted the response from cultural institutions and figures in the country who, as he wrote, did understand the subject, and referred to the phrase about pulling a gun upon hearing about culture. #Cultura #Arte #LibertadDeExpresión (translated)

Vitinho explained that jet injectors, like the Ped-O-Jet, used high pressure to pierce the skin, and did not just spray the liquid on it. According to him, the use was abandoned due to the risk of cross-contamination: the reusable nozzle could receive splashes of blood from a previously vaccinated person and transmit hepatitis B and C or HIV. Vitinho stated that there was an outbreak associated with the method, after which the WHO stopped recommending it, and that the United States Army banned its use in 1997. In Brazil, he said, the guns were used in mass vaccination campaigns in the 1970s, including the meningitis campaign in 1975, and were also abandoned due to the risk of contamination. He added that currently only models with disposable cartridges exist and that the change was not related to the pain caused by the injection. #saúde #vacinação #história (translated)

Marco Setaccioli recalled that, twenty years earlier, Anna Politkovskaya had been shot and killed in the hallway of her home in Moscow. He claimed that Vladimir Putin had ordered her elimination on the day of his birthday and described her as a journalist, activist, and opponent who had denounced the crimes of the regime and the restrictions on freedoms. Setaccioli also cited a passage from *Putin's Russia* in which Politkovskaya attributed the responsibility for what was happening to the apathy and weak reactions of those who opposed Putin, arguing that they contributed to ensuring his impunity. He urged readers to compare the words of the journalist with those of politicians who, in his view, were ready to trade security for votes and claimed that Putin's Russia was not a danger. He urged them to ask themselves whether, with their "cowardice," they honored the memory of Politkovskaya or legitimized the world of violence, oppression, and death that, according to him, her murderer was building. #Putin #Apathy #Freedom (translated)
