Igbo-Ora, #Nigeria
#Twins pose for a photograph at the Igbo-Ora world twins festival. The town is known as the world’s twin capital, with about 50 in 1,000 births producing twins. Studies suggest the phenomenon may be linked to the local diet, which contains high levels of okra leaf.

Did you know the government is directly asking you if you want them to regulate SUV so they kill less people, especially children?
"We seek to address the many U.S. variants and other models built upon uniquely American platforms.
This includes essentially the entire pickup truck and large SUV segments."
Take control back from car makers and pro-SUV by giving your feedback here⬇️ (and don't hesitate to retoot, thank you!).

“This might be the first crisis where I have to begin by advocating that children are humans.”
Gaza is not a place for children right now because “they’re forced to live in conditions that deny them life-saving medicine, water, even their dignity. And at the same time, bombs continue to fall”.
“Sometimes I fail to capture just how horrific the situation is that’s been imposed on children.”
James Elder, #UNICEF spokesperson in Gaza

Widespread #mideast war unlikely- no capacity there to fight a US-supported #DiseasedCountry #Israel.
Israeli #genocide #campaign to wipe #palestinians & #steal what little remains of #palestine will continue unchecked w/ #GenocideJoe & #GenocideDems' help. #BibiTheBabyButcher will keep off-ing #women & #children since they can repopulate.
We'll all watch in slo-mo as #Israel copies #European wipe of native populations in #N.America, #Russia & #Australia.
“The U.S. cannot & should not isolate ourselves from the rest of the world. #Isolation is not #insulation," MVP #KamalaHarris added.
#Zelenskyy spoke after #Harris, telling reporters, "We have to end this #war, we need a just #peace. We must protect our people: Ukrainian families, Ukrainian #children & everyone from #Putin's evil. We are grateful to America for supporting #Ukraine all along."
