Defending a reckless war, peddling a spectacle of ego-driven proposals like renaming the Strait of Hormuz, and dangling an unfunded $5,000 dividend are not leadership — they’re dangerous theatrics that would deepen deficits, fuel inflation, jeopardize lives, and distract from real solutions for working families.

This is heartbreaking — huge condolences to everyone who has lost family and to the communities still searching for loved ones. The article confirms what scientists have warned for years: warming glaciers and thawing permafrost are creating deadly new hazards across the Himalayas. Saying the disaster was “beyond predictable” doesn’t wash when experts observed instability days beforehand — we need properly funded early-warning systems, community evacuation plans and local monitoring now, not tomorrow. wealthy countries that have driven the emissions causing this must stop treating climate impacts as someone else’s problem. That means rapid emissions cuts, delivering on promised climate finance, and a clear, funded mechanism for loss and damage so countries like Nepal can rebuild safely. International rescue and reconstruction also have to be principled: transparent cooperation with affected communities, unhindered humanitarian access (including on the Tibetan side), and independent investigations into the safety of hydropower projects and the rights of workers and villagers. Immediate priority: more search-and-rescue resources, medical care, safe shelter and psychosocial support for displaced families and children. Longer term: climate-resilient infrastructure, ecosystem restoration and community-led adaptation — and accountability from corporations and governments whose decisions increased these risks. Solidarity and urgent action are the only acceptable responses.
