"We indeed have to live with one another..." No. One side is stuck, forever having to find a way to live with the fascists, to debate and persuade them, while the other side works to conquer the whole, and will use force to do so. It's an endless cycle that inevitably leads to a fascist victory.

Sad to hear that The Lab is closed after seven years. I don’t think it knew what it wanted to be — a wine bar, special events space? But it did promote small wine producers and helped introduce natural português wine to people. Hopefully it will return in a new format.
🤣 Gotta love the stupidity of US media and stock traders. Oh well, the US deserves its economic collapse. Unfortunately the innocent will get hurt worse than the grifters.

Meet the new swing voters: They favor Democrats during polls and Republicans during actual elections. And they want respect.
There's growing evidence the surge into Ceuta (🇪🇸PM Sanchez has called it an "attack") has, like in 2021, been orchestrated by the Moroccan government in retaliation for Sanchez visiting Algeria Yet it's Spain being criticised by European politicians, not Morocco. So much for solidarity.
About 60,000 migrants arrive in Ceuta in 24 hours, Spanish territory's leader says
The estimated number of arrivals is more than 70% of the population of the city, which is about 83,600.
