The day began with a couple of hours by  FLIRT : First, the  RE33 got me from 🇪🇪 Narva to 🇪🇪 Tapa, where I changed to the  RE45 bringing me to 🇪🇪 Valga / 🇱🇻 Valga with the transfer to the  🤝🏽  Pesa 730 ML bringing me via 🇱🇻 Riga down to 🇱🇹 Vilnius - my final destination for tonight.

Despite all the joy of being back in 🇪🇺 Europe, the bitter breeze of nationalism, oppression and fascism blowing around the globe can be smelled even here : Our universal freedom of movement is violated here as everywhere with the Estonian police illegally racial profiling the arriving train from 🇱🇻 Riga.

Illegal border checks are no minor issue. No privileged complaint. Fighting police checks is fighting for fundamental human rights. Arbitrary identity checks are the open port of entry for fascism, for hazardous oppression.

I'm terrified of this because I've just seen what this road leads to during my journey across 🇷🇺 Russia and 🇨🇳 China.

We need to fight this. Every single of us must fight this. If you do not fight this, you collaborate with the autocrats. This is our civil duty. Our fight for a liberal Europe.

It's 13:12 🕐 !
