The Chinese government is covering up the extent of the flooding in Tibet

Every time there is a disaster the CCP chooses censorship. In a cross border crisis multiple parties need access to accurate information and China will not provide it.

A Tibetan advocacy group says hundreds of homes were destroyed on the Tibetan side of the border in last week’s deadly floods, raising questions about Beijing’s official account of the scale of the disaster. https://t.co/eUFq1guaMz

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

As people in Nepal and across the Chinese border in Tibet reel from horrific mudslides, the Chinese government has turned to censorship and control.

Information controls can make it harder for families to locate loved ones, and hamper understanding of the disaster and any future response. https://t.co/b0NHKx0qrt

Nepali officials had long wanted early-warning data from China, but "they did not receive as much information as they wanted from China on glacier risks and water levels...and they ‌feared insufficient data sharing could hamper their ability to anticipate and prepare for major disasters." https://t.co/WjEulSkS8O

The flooding in Nepal and Tibet is devastating.

Hundreds of people have died in these catastrophic floods and over 2,000 are still missing.

No, President Trump. Climate change is not a hoax. It is causing devastating crises all over the planet.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Thousands of New Yorkers woke yesterday to devastating news from home. Flooding along the Nepal-Tibet border has taken hundreds of lives, and the search for those still missing continues.

To our Nepali and Tibetan neighbors: this city knows what it means to grieve a place you left and still call home. You are not carrying this alone. New York City stands with you.

I am saddened by the passing of Tibetan activist Lobga Ranzen, and my deepest condolences go out to the Tibetan community. China’s ethnic unity law is a tool for targeting the identity of Tibetans and other minorities. I will continue to fight for the freedom of Tibetans and all minority groups.

A Tibetan activist self-immolated outside UN headquarters in NY a day after China implemented a new “ethnic unity” law that requires Mandarin be the main language of instruction in schools in order to assimilate minorities such as Tibetans and Uyghurs. https://t.co/w4Pt8JQIMD

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

I am heartbroken by the death of Tibetan activist Lobga Rangzen outside the United Nations. No one should feel that such a desperate act is the only way to make the world listen.

New York stands for the dignity and human rights of all people. We mourn this tragic loss and extend our deepest condolences to his loved ones and the Tibetan community across our City.

@BarackObama @MichelleObama @ObamaFoundation Those $$ could’ve been invested in something far more productive & meaningful for the community. Also regardless of who holds the presidency, systemic change will remain out of reach as long as they continue to serve the interests of groups like AIPAC rather than the people!!

Tonight's Bezos Met Gala Ball is emblematic of the conspicuous extravagance of him and the rest of the billionaire class. Some thoughts...

Create unnecessary chaos, terrify the world, then walk it back and take a bow. Give me a break.

Donald Trump isn’t a peacemaker. He’s a sick, unstable, unfit man who manufactured a crisis and is now trying to sell us the resolution.

The people aren’t fooled and Congress shouldn’t be either.

Impeach him – now.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

MESSAGE

I wholeheartedly endorse the powerful appeal for peace made by the Holy Father, Pope Leo, during his Palm Sunday Mass. His call for the laying down of arms and the renunciation of violence resonated profoundly with me, as it speaks to the very essence of what all major religions teach.

Indeed, whether we look to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism or any of the world's great spiritual traditions, the message is fundamentally the same: love, compassion, tolerance, and self-discipline. Violence finds no true home in any of these teachings. History has shown us time and again that violence only begets more violence and is never a lasting foundation for peace.

An enduring resolution to conflict, including the ones we see in the Middle East or between Russia and Ukraine, must be rooted in dialogue, diplomacy and mutual respect — approached with the understanding that, at the deepest level, we are all brothers and sisters.

I urge for and pray that the violence and conflicts may soon come to an end.

DALAI LAMA

I warned Biden and Harris directly: Our silence on Gaza was morally, legally, and politically wrong.

We were told it wasn't in the data. That wasn't strategy – it was risk aversion dressed up as wisdom.

Democrats cannot make that same mistake again this midterm season.

@Wangchuk66 @GitanjaliAngmo Julay and Tashi Deleg! Your grace and strength through such injustice is truly inspiring. We stand firmly with you, Gitanjali, and all of Ladakh. The fight for the 6th Schedule and democracy lives on. Rest and heal - our support remains unwavering until Ladakh sees its new dawn!

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Netanyahu led Trump into this horrific & unpopular war. Now he doesn’t know how to get out.

Cost so far:

• 1,200+ Iranian civilians killed
• 13 U.S. troops killed
• 3.2M Iranians displaced
• 773 killed in Lebanon
• 10,000+ Iranians injured
• $16.5B spent in 12 days
