Blue Line services halted while protest group tells supporters to assemble at BTS, MRT stations at 3pm

By THE NATION

The Metropolitan Rapid Transit (MRT) Blue Line train services have been temporarily suspended from 12.30pm on Saturday due to the protesters' planned political rally.

The announcement was made on Twitter.

The lead protest group, United Front of Thammasat and Demonstration (UFTD), on Saturday morning asked pro-democracy supporters via its Facebook page to standby at 3pm at all BTS and MRT stations, to prepare themselves for further movement.

In case railway services are closed, the UFTD said the pro-democracy protest would be held at the stations instead.

The newly formed Khana Ratsadon 2563 (People’s Party 2020) earlier changed its name to Ratsadon (The People), and had vowed to hold another rally on Saturday at 4pm.

The Airport Rail Link's Phya Thai station and Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTS) Sukhumvit and Silom lines were temporarily closed on Saturday afternoon in view of the protests.

'LEAVING MAGA': Former Trump supporters REVEAL why they left

https://leavingmaga.org/ Dear MAGA Americans, I was a devoted member of MAGA nation for seven years; it made me feel I was part of something important: a movement that was trying to save American democracy. But starting in 2021, I realized I had been mistaken. It took me a full year to finally break away. During that time, I came to understand that MAGA is sustained by a series of myths that are intended to create perpetual feelings of desperation and panic. Succumbing to these predatory myths

As the US top dog Donald Trump touches down in the Turkish capital of Ankara for the NATO Leaders Summit - along with around 1,400 of his minions - a very strange tradition is raising its head once again. Everything that the charismatic 80-year-old relieves his body of will not touch foreign soil. Instead, it'll be collected in his personal toilet system, watched hawk-like by accompanying members of the Secret Service with pegs on their nose. But what in God's name is this all about? https://w
