This is the much-lauded new Milan-Paris route, by the way. A lot of money spent on advertising only, it seems. It’s not a weather problem. It’s not a traffic problem.

Staff said we could not open the doors using the emergency handles, but some folks did anyway, because the air was stiffling - and then the staff thanked us for opening them.

Now have air, which is a plus. One staff member just said - 2 hours into the situation - that they may send a diesl train to take us the 2 or 3 k to Ch. not clear when, but at least we now have air.

“Everyday peoples’ responses to violent government raids and arrests of suspected undocumented immigrants, peaceful protesters, and even legal observers, are being used as a pretext by the Trump administration to deploy the military in recent days in California. Trump’s dangerous actions should be condemned by US and international leaders.” - Tanya Greene, US program director, Human Rights Watch

There is no organization called "antifa" - so, why label a non-existent group "terrorists"? This gives the regime maximum scope to hunt down opposition and critics. They label you "antifa", and then they come for you. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/17/trump-antifa-terrorist-organization

I know people who were raised in a Christian atmosphere and now loudly proclaim to be Christians, who have zero compassion for others. I also know people who were raised in a Christian atmosphere but are now atheists, who have dedicated their lives to helping others. So, who absorbed the message, and who didn't?

Desperate people forced to risk their lives to escape war and persecution - let's rob them of all they've got left! This is the sick thinking of human traffickers, not decent governments.

I'm sure if we just give Hitler the Sudetenland, he'll stop invading other countries, and we'll have peace for our time.

Adopting far-right policies to stop the far right gaining influence - continues to be the stupidest idea in European politics today. You cannot "out far right" the far right. If you adopt one policy they want, they will always have more (and darker) policies to push. So, what then? You just keep following them down the path towards more human rights abuses and eventually atrocity crimes? And how long will it take voters to figure out you're just a cheap copy and then vote for the original?

Where is the leadership? Rather than copying racist, attention-seeking buffoons, how about doing what leaders should be doing and providing your own vision?

"Why is the government posting on a deepfake child porn site?" That's the question to ask them, journalist friends.

Appeasement didn't work with Hitler. Appeasement didn't work with Putin. Appeasement isn't working with Trump. When will Europe learn this most basic lesson about how to deal with imperialist bullies? https://www.politico.eu/article/hit-back-donald-trump-europe-mulls-unthinkable-options-greenland-threats-ramp-up-tensions/
