Grahadi, a protected heritage site in Surabaya, has allegedly been deliberately burned by provocateur arsonists to justify lethal force by law enforcement. Protesters couldn't enter the Grahadi complex and molotov cocktails can't make a fire that big.
Sorry if this sounds dumb, but what does it actually mean when a DPR member gets ‘deactivated’? Is it like being fired, or just told to lay low for a while?
And during that period, do they still get their regular salary? Anyone know?
The quote tweets are amazing:
Friends from outside of Indonesia are giving their support in the form of food and first aid for the drivers on the road.
Guys, one day, when all this madness is over, please come visit us.
You guys are always welcome here.
Dont they get it? People are pissed over job scarcity, endless tax hikes, insane DPR benefit, their lavish lifestyle and arrogant officials. That’s what sparked the massive protest.
Decision makers know exactly how to de-escalate situation
@phuwinfh The Police in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, took repressive action by beating unarmed protesters. One of the victims was a university student in Yogyakarta. The victim has passed away after falling into a coma due to the beatings.

my intl friends, i apologize for spamming your tl with all of this happening in my country🙏🏻🙏🏻 but we need to speak up, bcs they're silencing our journalists, banned our tiktok live, banned our national tv for airing the demos
a protest with loudspeakers and banners isnt terrorism. disappearing activists, massacring civilians, and looting democracy? thats terrorism, and the receipts all point to YOU.
From Prabowo's press conference:
- No apology yet; not even once
- Appeal didn’t target arrogant and unlawful police officers
- No statement re: people kidnapped by police
- Accusing 3rd party of infiltrating protests
- Merdeka
Our presidents just held a press conference, and he's yapping just like he's in another world. The gap between the realities of Indonesian people and his is unmeasurable.
