februari lalu celios udah ngitung berapa duit negara yg berakhir jd sampah makanan MBG.

tapi ga ada yg peduli 😅

dlm seminggu kalau dihitung bisa ada 100 juta+ porsi MBG yg dibuang, dan itu nilainya setara Rp 1.27 triliun.

Rp 1.27 triliun seminggu cuma jadi sampah.

padahal dengan uang sebanyak itu, kita bisa membangun ratusan puskesmas atau memperbaiki sekolah-sekolah reyot di pelosok negeri, daripada jadi sampah 😹

There are literally a million things to be angry about in this country and somehow yall chose to direct that anger at a gay couple minding their own business and showing affection. During pride month, too. The priorities are genuinely baffling.

“Open the road.”

Palestinian children protest at barbed wire erected by Israeli settlers in occupied West Bank village of Um al-Khair—calling for their basic right to access their school, move freely, & live without occupation.

Imagine your child facing this on the way to class

She was supposed to attend a Daniel Craig film premiere in London that weekend. Instead, she was in a Belfast hospital with 39 separate injuries. She was 29 years old.

Winnie M Li was a Harvard graduate and a George Mitchell Scholar who had co-produced a short film shortlisted for an Oscar. She flew to Belfast for a conference. The day before she was supposed to fly home, she decided to squeeze in a solo hike through a forest park on the western edge of the city. A 15-year-old boy followed her in and raped her in broad daylight.

She later said she went from being a confident woman to a ghost, with PTSD and depression so severe she had to give up her film career. Her attacker was sentenced to 8 years. He was out in 4.

Hiking had been one of her great joys before the attack. It took years before she could do it alone again. In 2009, she forced herself to backpack through Southeast Asia for three months, trying to find the person she used to be. Five and a half years after the assault, she sat down and started writing about what happened to her. Her novel Dark Chapter, built from her own experience, won a major literary prize. Her second novel was fought over by five US publishers and picked by The New York Times for their book club. She co-founded a festival in London dedicated to conversations about sexual violence, and earned a PhD from the London School of Economics studying how survivors use their voices to reclaim their stories.

And every year, on the exact anniversary of the worst day of her life, she goes on a solo hike. In her own words: to remind herself that beauty still exists, and she can enjoy it.

This year was year 18. She walked the Southwest Coast Path along England's coastline, and the photos show her smiling on a cliff in Cornwall. After 17 years of doing this, she said the nausea and anxiety on the anniversary are finally gone. That took 17 years, but she got there.

I have nothing to add to her story except this. If you are in the middle of your own recovery and it feels like it will never end, her 18 years of annual walks say otherwise.

“Why are schools so bad at handling bullying?” Because we live in an abuse culture, which means proper handling of bullying would require challenging the status quo; an institution purpose-built for indoctrination into the status quo is the last place that will ever challenge it.

Bapak Presiden @Prabowo, korban sudah bicara! Dari bangsal RSCM, Andrie Yunus secara resmi meminta pembentukan TGPF Independen.

​Beliau tidak percaya pada proses tertutup yang sedang berlangsung. Beliau ingin publik tahu siapa yang memberi perintah operasi air keras dari Rumah Dinas Melawai.

​Jangan abaikan permintaan terakhir dari mata yang sedang diperjuangkan penglihatannya. Bentuk TGPF sekarang, atau sejarah akan mencatat Anda membiarkan penjahat demokrasi berkeliaran.

Kita Harus Melawan Upaya Sistematis Negara dalam Pemutihan Sejarah

Koalisi Masyarakat Melawan Impunitas telah menyerahkan Kesimpulan pada Kamis lalu (2 April 2026) di perkara gugatan terhadap ucapan Menteri Kebudayaan Fadli Zon terkait penyangkalan pemerkosaan massal Mei 1998. Pada 21 April 2026 mendatang, PTUN akan mengeluarkan putusan terkait gugatan ini dan diharapkan tidak hanya menyelesaikan perkara namun juga memulihkan martabat, menjaga ingatan, serta berdiri bersama para korban yang terus dibungkam oleh negara.

“Penyangkalan Fadli Zon adalah penyangkalan busuk, orang yang tidak pernah punya hati nurani, dan dia berhak dihukum,” ucap Ita Fatia Nadia, Pendamping Korban Pemerkosaan Massal Mei 1998, pada konferensi pers yang digelar di kantor Amnesty International Indonesia, 7 April 2026.

“Jangan-jangan ini adalah upaya sistematis yang dilakukan oleh Fadli Zon bersama dengan rezim yang berkuasa hari ini. Kita harus menolak lupa pada pelanggaran HAM yang terjadi, pada nama-nama yang terlibat di 1998 dan hari ini mereka masih berkuasa,” tutup Zainal Arifin, Ketua Bidang Advokasi & Jaringan YLBHI.

🇮🇱🇯🇵 BREAKING: "Boycott Apartheid Israel!!!" — protesters marching through Shinjuku, Tokyo.

A huge banner in English and Japanese. Palestinian flags waving. Shoppers stopping to watch. The heart of Tokyo, ground zero for consumer culture, now ground zero for resistance.

The BDS movement has reached Japan. The people are saying no to apartheid, no to genocide, no to the empire that arms it.

From Shinjuku to Sana'a, the message is clear: the world will not forget. The world will not comply. The world is rising.

I just want to recommend some classic (old) queer films that are sadly under-recognized (and should be widely known). To remind you that queer films haven't just been around since the 2010s, or 2000s, but have been around for a long time.

Starting with this: THE BOY AND THE WIND (Carlos Hugo Christensen, Brazil, 1967)
