    "The removal of illegal miners from the Munduruku Indigenous Territory marked a crucial moment in territorial reconfiguration. However, the physical removal of gold miners does not end the conflict but rather ushers in new dynamics.

    A portion of the Indigenous population has moved to the urban center of Jacareacanga, increasing pressure on precarious infrastructure and limited public services.

    The breakdown of informal economic networks associated with gold mining, combined with the absence of structural policies to support sustainable production in the villages, has contributed to increased social vulnerability.

    At the same time, the weakening of the gold mining economy has created space for criminal factions to operate in urban areas, highlighting the convergence of different illicit markets, such as gold, drugs, and weapons.

    The territory is thus now contested not only between the state and gold miners but also by criminal organizations that exploit the institutional vacuum and socioeconomic fragility."

  9. @MelissaBearTrix wow, I would rate injectable #drugs far better than any #advertisement and I'm sure I would get a backing of support by a number of people who hate #marketing and #ads and would prefer an injectable #drug anyday.... Most drugs are injectable, even all those fun drugs that are prohibited by our backwards government...

  14. Harris Visits MAGA Areas of Pennsylvania, to Cut Into Trump’s Edge

    The vice president, who appeared in #Johnstown and #Wilkes-#Barre, said she would
    ❇️ #remove#unnecessary degree #requirements” for some federal jobs,

    a pitch to Mr. Trump’s base of voters without a college education in a part of the state where he expects to perform well.

    Ms. Harris also emphasized her work in California
    ❇️ #prosecuting Mexican #drug #cartels,
    and said as president she would continue to go after them “for pushing poisons like fentanyl on our children.”

    The vice president’s Trump-country pitch amounted to a continuation of her appeal to moderate and right-leaning voters that began at the Democratic National Convention last month
    and continued during Tuesday’s debate with the former president.
