    Could an end to the Ukraine war be near?

    🤔 I think this whole situation with Ukraine is super tricky, y'know? It's like trying to solve a giant puzzle with all these different pieces that don't quite fit together.

    Erdogan’s political fate may be determined by Turkey’s Kurds | CNN

    🤔 I think it's crazy how Kurdish minority can swing votes in a whole country, that's some serious power right there! Erdogan needs to figure out how to win over the Kurds without alienating them first 🙏. If Kilicdaroglu gets the support of HDP voters, it could be a major blow to AK Party's...

    French feminists outraged by Brigitte Macron's comment about activists

    😒 I'm low-key surprised that Brigitte Macron isn't being more careful with her words - I mean, she's the First Lady of France! 🇫🇷 You'd think she'd know better than to stir up a hornet's nest like this.

    🤦‍♂️ I mean, come on people! Don't you do your research before signing up for a retirement community? The Harborside's financial model was basically a scam from the start. $946,000 upfront fee and then smaller monthly payments? That's just too good to be true. And now families are left with...

    Palestinian taxi driver recounts surviving attack by right-wing protesters | CNN

    🤕 this is so disturbing it's like something out of a nightmare the fact that someone can just target another human being for their perceived views on politics is unacceptable, especially when it's a taxi driver who's just doing his job and trying to make a living... it's not right that he had to...

    🚨💸 just got word that OPEC+ is slashing oil production by 1.6 million barrels per day starting May... I'm not a economist but it seems like a weird move, gonna push gas prices up big time 🚗💰 and we're already seeing wholesale prices jump 3% this morning 😬. Tom Kloza thinks we could hit...
