"I mean that kind of bothers me sometimes like when people you go everywhere they just see you as a refugee," said Kalilwa who was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and is now an American citizen. "I'm like oh well, yeah, I am a refugee but then at the same time I see myself as an American." (AP Photo/David Goldman)

The population had plummeted in 2001 as the paper mills closed. Downtown storefronts sat boarded up, ringed by sagging apartment buildings no longer needed to house workers since so few remained. The refugees saw possibility in Lewiston's decay. Word spread quickly and friends and families followed, by the hundreds. The town morphed in a matter of months into a laboratory for what happens when demographics and culture suddenly shift. (AP Photo/David Goldman)

A few months earlier, business got so bad he came close to losing it all, and it reminded him just how fragile the blue collar economy can be. He looked down at his sneakers, which he bought for $25 at Walmart. There used to be a shoe factory in town, he said, and another one just down the road. "They're gone, they're done," he said. "And now I'm wearing shoes from China." That's why he voted for Donald Trump, because he doesn't want to have to buy shoes made someplace else. (AP Photo/David Goldman)

The 'weed nuns' of California

Sister Kate lights a joint at Sisters of the Valley on April 18 near Merced, Calif.The self-ordained "weed nuns" are on a mission to heal and empower women with their cannabis products. The sisterhood stresses that its seven members, despite the moniker, do not belong to any order of the Catholic Church. They consider their Holy Trinity to be the marijuana plant, specifically hemp. Sister Kate, whose real name is Christine Meeusen, adopted the nun persona after she took part in an Occupy Wall Street protest in 2011 dressed as a Catholic nun, a look that led her to be known by protesters as "Sister Occupy." "We've gotten a few hate calls but, by and far, the Catholics understand what we're doing," she said.PHOTOS: 'Weed Nuns' Are Holy Rollers on Mission to Empower Women With Marijuana ProductsLucy Nicholson / Reuters

Ito Molina, 45, said tourists would happily pay $10 for tire repair, a princely sum compared with the average state salary of around $25 per month. "All the cars pass along this road, and they all get punctures," he said. "So we stand there and repair the tires."Above, vultures eat smashed crabs on a highway.

Reuters / Wednesday, April 26, 2017Volunteers help an injured demonstrator (C) during a rally against Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro in Caracas. While they wear white helmets with a green cross, none wear flak jackets and some resort to wearing goggles to protect themselves from tear gas. Their equipment has nearly all been donated or bought by the volunteers themselves, and they've had to create makeshift neck braces from shoes, belts, and hats. REUTERS/Carlos Garcia Rawlins

Close-range rubber bullets, flying rocks, tear gas canisters and tear gas have caused the majority of wounds and health problems, according to over a dozen doctors and rights groups. Most of those injured appear to be opposition protesters, but Maduro supporters, security forces and bystanders are also seeking treatment, these people said. REUTERS/Marco Bello

Reuters / Wednesday, April 26, 2017Volunteers get ready to help injured demonstrators in Caracas. The injuries are heaping more stress on Venezuela's saturated hospitals and dwindling ranks of doctors, some of whom are volunteering to treat people at protests. The shortages are also a cruel irony for some injured demonstrators, who were actually out protesting those chronic shortages that have cancer patients going untreated and millions of Venezuelans skipping meals.
