They say good things come in threes!

Last night:

1 - Progressive Judge Susan Crawford beat Elon Musk's puppet BADLY in Wisconsin!

2 - Sen Cory Booker beat racist fuck Strom Thurmond's record for longest Senate speech!

3 - Yes, the MAGA candidates won the Florida House seats, but there was a 20 point swing back towards the Democrats!

NEXT - On Saturday we march on #Washington and EVERY state capitol to tell these fascists to get their #HandsOff our #democracy!! 💪

📢 No direct talks with #washington:

In an exclusive statement for Al Mayadeen, Iranian FM Abbas Araghchi affirmed that the window for diplomacy remains open, emphasizing that there is always room for diplomatic efforts far from threats and pressure.

However, he stressed the need for diplomacy to be conducted based on equality, asserting that #iran will not engage in direct negotiations with the United States under pressure or threats.
