For the first time ever, workers at a Home Depot company have unionized. Drivers who deliver building materials for Home Depot’s Temco subsidiary have voted to join the Teamsters. They did so despite a vicious anti-union campaign from Home Depot and Temco. atlantaciviccircle.org/2026/02/25/t...

Trump's war on Iran proves what @eamonwhalen.bsky.social wrote earlier this year: “Adventurism” has become the buzzword that MAGA wields to contrast themselves with previous regimes, even as they fight the same conflicts and forge new ones.

OPINION: Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu's attack on Iran is premised on a gossamer web of assumptions and inferences.

My theory about Whiskey Pete's presser this morning is they rolled him out (after keeping him hidden all weekend) to shore up the MAGAt base. There's a good number of MAGAts who're furious. IF that picks up steam Trump could be in YUGE trouble.

“It’s a choice to ensure zero abortions." Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape.

Nine Georgian political parties announced uniting in an “opposition alliance,” signing a coordination document to work towards “preserving national independence and statehood,” as the country is caught in a political crisis marked by crackdown and protests.

Imagine my shocked face excellent reporting www.startribune.com/ice-surged-i...

Social media posts have claimed a video shows explosions in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, with some saying it’s an Iranian missile attack. But the footage is unrelated to the current Middle East conflict. It actually shows explosions in China in 2015.

We’re fact checking misleading images and videos relating to the conflict in the Middle East. An image supposedly showing Dubai’s Burj Khalifa engulfed in flames is fake.

President Donald Trump said today that Iran “would soon have had missiles capable of reaching our beautiful America.”  That contradicts a 2025 federal government assessment that said such capabilities are years away. buff.ly/ZFoNDqm

Trump may have ordered a deadly military strike on a girls’ elementary school in Iran because the Pentagon was using an out-of-date map. At least 175 people, including dozens of young girls between seven and 12, were killed Saturday in an attack on a southern town miles from Tehran. trib.al/1BhX9NO

Donald Trump is calling all the big news outlets to sell his propaganda. And the legacy media is eating it up. Not one has asked about his tying the Iran strikes to claims that Tehran interfered in U.S. elections. Democracy Docket did but he doesn't call us to chat.

Ukraine’s Paralympic team has been banned from using their parade uniform, which features a map of Ukraine, at the 2026 Winter Paralympics! The International Paralympic Committee ruled the uniform “political” and prohibited the team from wearing it. What a freaking circus!

🇺🇦👀 Zelensky is ready to help Middle Eastern countries shoot down “shaheeds” if they persuade Russia to agree to a ceasefire on the front “Middle Eastern leaders have good relations with the Russians. They can ask the Russians to introduce a month-long ceasefire,” Zelensky to Bloomberg News.

@annafromukraine.bsky.social @gregterry.bsky.social MFA Sybiha: Assad, Maduro, and now Khamenei. Putin has lost three of his closest pals in a year. First, Russia is not a reliable ally. Second, its influence across the world is dramatically falling. Third, Putin’s fall one day is inevitable.

The Trump administration is reposting misleading videos on voter fraud from right-wing influencers — a move experts warn elicits grave danger: “At the end of the day…if we respond, we continue to get into these fights about false narratives,” one Fulton County commissioner told Democracy Docket.

What you need to know about REAL freedom of the press in Georgia: since Georgian Dream banned filming in courts, #Publika & other medias have submitted around 20 formal requests to the High Council of Justice asking to record trials. Zero replies. 0. [1/2]

Georgia’s democratic opposition parties have formed an alliance, agreeing on a joint strategy to defeat the autocratic regime and restore the country’s Euro-Atlantic course. They say they will fight “until political prisoners are freed and free, fair elections are secured.” 📷 Publika

A reminder that James Comer and Republicans leading the House Oversight Committee still haven’t released the video depositions of Bill and Hillary Clinton on Jeffrey Epstein. Yet they released Les Wexner’s the day after even though none of them attended his deposition.

Georgia’s pro-government TV channel Imedi has paid its employees’ salaries in cash days after it was hit by UK sanctions over ‘Russian disinformation’. The channel also found itself in conflict with a major advertiser: Meama, a Georgian coffee company.

Admissions so far: 1) They were lying abt threat from Iran. 2) They were lying about good faith of negotiations. 3) They begged UK for help immediately (and Ukraine offered needed expertise). 4) They're escalating on Day Two.

Around 700 people from Daghestan have been stranded in Saudi Arabia after going on a pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina. As the vast majority of the Middle East’s airspace is closed off due to ongoing fighting between Iran, Israel, and the US. oc-media.org/daghestani-p...

Last month, the U.K. government green-lit the development of a new Chinese embassy at Royal Mint Court. In doing so, the government said it had heeded cross-party warnings over espionage fears and intimidation of Chinese dissidents.

Can James Talarico convince Democrats he’s the fighter they need?

The new Iranian leader just wrote: “TRUMP HAS BETRAYED AMERICA FIRST TO ADOPT ISRAEL FIRST. It is indeed very sad that he is sacrificing American treasure and blood to advance Netanyahu’s illegitimate expansionist ambitions.” Do any Americans—of any political stripe—disagree?
