Dude I totally signed on for this gig because I thought it was an ensemble cast adventuring group type situation but low-key dave has been giving protagonist lately :/ yeah I just don’t know how I feel about being a companion you know? Why did the backing track change to a minor key.

Alright let's get real [IMPORTANT]

Indonesia, 2025

I'm not the type of person to initiate these kinda posts, but oh god it is horrifying out here and I felt the need to broadcast this here as I haven't seen any coverage about it on this platform.

What's happening? Protests, riots, racially induced violence mobs for some reason???, and a fuckton of police violence.

28th of August, Police have tried to hold off the protests by the parliamentary building, resulting in various deaths and injuring of protesters AND innocent bystanders. The incident that became the peak of the night was a motorcycle taxi driver/food delivery driver crossing the road getting hit— no, run over by a fully armed brimob vehicle. The delivery driver, Affan Kurniawan, aged 21 years old then, unfortunately passed away from the incident. The news of this unjust death enraged the masses, so the action intensified immediately.

Recently, the president has given the police force the go ahead to open fire to shut down crowds. They're armed, and given the go ahead to shoot down... anyone, essentially.

Now I'm not the best at formatting this stuff, so let me just list all the bullshit that's taken place that I know of for reference

-Police shooting streetlights off in the middle of the night at Kwitang, followed by shooting at the people on said streets at the time

-the use of armed brimob vehicles to ram through crowds and "shut down" protests

-setting off tear gas bullets/bombs at protest sites and public transport stations

-unexplained shootings

-some of my friends' friends have reported policemen standing around with firearms on the ready by their schools and where they live

-attacking a whole university dormitory by a protest site???

-kidnappings of various university students on site/attending protests

-threatening and arresting a JOURNALIST who was broadcasting live from a protest site

There's most definitely more I cannot name at the top of my head

It's gotten so bad that some schools have set online class back in motion or just put their students on holiday where the danger zones are.

Oh yeah here's the fun part. National television is forbidden from broadcasting anything about the ongoing protests and police violence, live streaming functions on Tiktok and Instagram have been shut down, and there has been speculation about the government trying to block off the internet entirely. The media is being SILENCED while all this is unraveling, the only source of information we're getting being from first hand witnesses and footage from social media. Come on now they arrested a JOURNALIST who was LIVE . A journalist!!! Is that not Mental?

Please feel free to add onto these if you're more educated/have more insight to share. This is ridiculous. The violence isn't even about the protests anymore I'm afraid.

Selamat siang

For folks who have completely no clue what's going on, @whatisupindonesia on IG has enough to get the gist of everything, including a summary of the protests (29 aug), what the people want (31 aug), and frequent updates in their stories. They're all in English, so it should be understandable for many.

Additionally, if you can understand Bahasa Indonesia, @NarasiNewsroom (twitter/IG) and @barengwarga (twitter) are also updating often on the current state of things. What op has described above is how the government has so gracefully responded, which of course mostly doesn't get any coverage from official news sources. The only way to find the information is through social media and word of mouth, so please continue to spread awareness, and if you can donate, it would be of great help too. Donation links I've found so far that are still open: ** I've skimmed over their profiles briefly and looked for places where donations can be tracked, but please remain wary as scams will be prevalent in times like these. 1. Perdizzion (twitter, original post) Method of payment: Ko-fi About: Proceeds will go towards @jaringannakes_indonesia (IG) It will close by 1 September 2025, 15 00 UTC 2. CIMSA + Jaringan Nakes Indonesia (IG, original post) Method of payment: Mandiri About: Proceeds will be used to aid those participating in the protests with medicine, emergency medical equipment, and to support the medical teams on the field It will close by 1 September 2025, 16 59 UTC I don't have any direct links atm but if you're from Indonesia keep on the lookout for @paramedisjalanan(followed by city name) (IG) accounts as they usually accept donations for medical supplies as well. Stay safe everyone o7
