For those who want a bit more context: a massive student and worker protest is unfolding in Indonesia’s capital in response to the Prabowo government’s decision to raise fuel prices, alongside other policies that many Indonesians are calling corrupt because they deepen the burden on working-class Indonesians already struggling with rising living costs and a weakening rupiah.
What’s fueling the anger even further is the broader feeling that economic pressure is being pushed downward onto ordinary people while major policy decisions continue to favour politicians and the ultra wealthy.
Just last year, Indonesians protested over the same kind of government corruption, which led to a crackdown on its own civilians using military force in cities like Jakarta and Bandung, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries, including those of students.
This situation, however, embarrassed the Probowo government, as people from all over the world began paying attention and massed mobilised to send food, medical/legal aid and financial donations via apps like Grab and Ojek (the region’s equivalent of Uber) the movement received particularly strong support from people across Asia, especially Southeast and East Asia, while also drawing contributions from around the world. This is why Indonesians are asking the world pay attention to their country again.

Hi queer folks 🫶
Saat ini, serangan ke komunitas queer semakin tinggi (e.g. persekusi di PNJ). Temen-temen queer rawan menjadi korban perundungan, termasuk di ranah daring.
Karena itu, aku mau berbagi referensi keamanan digital. Semoga berguna, dan semoga kalian tetap aman 🫡

@LyricAiLove Big Tech had to give people the "choice" with crypto and NFTs because it needed financial investment from the public
With AI, they decided they would just light a grotesque amount of money on fire and shove it everywhere, for free, forcing the future THEY want on the world
