Simply brilliant. Bansky depicting the absurdity of how the justice system in the UK (and elsewhere) treats those protesting against the genocide.

Mass protest and the two worlds of Indonesian politics - New Mandala
A subculture of street protest survives beyond Jokowi
Great piece by Edward Aspinall discussing the ongoing protests in Indonesia (and why they are likely to keep resurfacing).

In Indonesia these right often are toothless in practice, as collusion and corruption undermine the realization of these rights. That is what we tried to show in ‘Colonial Debris’.

Dagenlange gewelddadige protesten in Indonesië, 'dood aan de corruptie'
Wat begon uit onvrede met een hele hoge woningtoelage voor parlementsleden, is uitgemond in protesten tegen een veelvoud van zaken.
De politieke onrust broeit al een tijd. Grote maarschappelijke onvrede over de zelfverrijking van politici.
Wat hier onder zit is een clientelistisch systeem waarin politici steeds meer geld in hun campagnes pompen en allerlei commerciele belangen dienen.

Happy to see Kompas report on our book on ‘cybertroops’ in Indonesia. With this research we hoped to raise awareness about how these networks buzzers operate and why you should be wary of ‘viral’ trends.

Vraag: stel, De Telegraaf lezer en iedereen die deze krant wel eens tegen komt bij de kapper, afhaaltent, etc. gaat van nu tot de verkiezingen dit soort propaganda lezen. *Is daar iets tegen te doen?*
Zijn er wel eens wetenschappers die iets insturen naar De Telegraaf om tegengas te geven?

COLONIAL DEBRIS (full movie)
Now online: the English version of our documentary Colonial Debris. Together with documentary makers Watchdoc, we made this film to convey the results of our research project on land conflicts between palm oil companies and rural Indonesians.

Impressive report by @fittarelli.com from CitizenLab on Thailand's IO. Nice to see that one of the "influential black accounts" that we also identified in our recent article is now exposed as belonging to the Thai state.

The nationalisation of regional elections - Inside Indonesia: The peoples and cultures of Indonesia
A quarterly magazine on the peoples of Indonesia - cultures, politics, economy and environment
In November 2024, Indonesia went to the polls to elect its local leaders. As i analyse in this short piece, these elections reflected an ongoing centralization of power. Jakarta aka Prabowo’s regime asserted itself on local politics.

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests.
So, best we share all the footage we can here!
This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu.

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism".

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH
