Koinobori - Chiba Carp Streamers

Cities and villages across Japan hold koinobori (carp-streamers) festivals in celebration of Children’s Day, May 5th. The koinobori are said to represent good health, happiness and success as a result of the courage and strength of the carp to swim upstream.

Two schoolgirls stand on the ruins of their school on Feb. 12, 2016, in Dzita, Ghana. The Dzita EP Basic School's four compounds fell victim to coastal erosion during the region's rainy season.

"To me this scene summarises it all: it captures the violence of nature that rebels, the powerlessness of the local communities and the lack of hope and future of the coming generations."

A young girl gazes out of a window in Jakarta, Indonesia, to a flooded street.

With over 80,000 kilometers of coastline comprising more than 17,000 islands, Indonesia faces an imminent threat from rising sea levels. Experts predict that by 2050, thousands of the country's islands and nearly one-third of Java, home to the capital Jakarta, will be under water.

"the legislation would improve the living standards of 16 million low-income #kids and lift 400,000 #children out of poverty in its first year. It would increase incentives for research and development. And the icing on the cake: The whole thing would be paid for by curbing a pandemic-era #tax break that has produced an avalanche of fraudulent claims...

It also offers #Republicans a chance to prove their pro-family bona fides after #Dobbs."

"Today, #Republican senators are trying to kill the legislation...

Some worry about handing President #Biden a win so close to the #election (I’d argue the 400,000 kids lifted out of poverty would be the real winners, but to each their own.)

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said this explicitly in January: “Passing a #tax bill that makes the president look good... means he could be reelected.”
