@MikeFellman Political pandering at its worst.

[UnveiledChina @Unveiled_ChinaX]

China’s collapsing job market just lost its ultimate safety net as the gig economy completely implodes. In a historic first, authorities in Shenzhen, the powerhouse megacity built on migrant labor, have formally declared the ride-hailing market completely saturated. An absolute flood of laid-off workers and desperate citizens has overwhelmed the sector, turning China's most reliable economic fallback option into a brutal financial trap.

The official data reveals a dystopian reality. Nearly 400,000 licensed drivers in Shenzhen are now fighting over a shrinking pool of passengers, leaving the average driver with fewer than five completed trips per day. Exhausted workers are forced to grind through punishing 12- to 16-hour shifts just to scrape together a measly 300 yuan ($42) after corporate platform cuts, vehicle rentals, and charging costs. This crisis is rapidly spreading nationwide, with major hubs like Chongqing, Suzhou, and Dongguan forced to issue identical warnings or freeze permits altogether.

For years, the Chinese Communist Party used gig work as a convenient sponge to soak up mass unemployment and hide the true scale of its failing economy. Now that manufacturing is dying, foreign investment is fleeing, and white-collar sectors are plagued by sweeping layoffs, that fragile cushion has completely disintegrated.

India features in the list of 6 countries in the world where stray dogs are in crisis
1. India
2. Pakistan
3. Kazakhstan
4. Turkey
5. Romania
6. Morocco

CRISIS ZONES
Dogs are facing an active systemic threat through collection, confinement, culling, euthanasia policies, inadequate capacity, or major policy changes affecting large numbers of dogs.

What a shame that India is on the list.
No longer a Nation of Ahimsa.

A Korean fan was filming herself at the World Cup when a group of Mexico supporters behind her started pulling their eyes into a slant and laughing at her.

Social media tracked the main guy down.

@TorresGotay La foto lo dice todo: Mamdani rodeado casi exclusivamente de figuras políticas alineadas con la soberanía, sin un solo estadista ni asociación pro‑EE.UU. presente. Pese a toda la retórica, @NYCMayor ha hecho muy poco que sea tangible para los puertorriqueños o los latinos en NYC.

@ABC Enough pandering. If Democrats really want to help Puerto Rico, they need to pressure the Supreme Court to end the Insular Cases & actually deliver. Release recovery funds, fix Medicaid/SSI inequality, reform PROMESA, invest in jobs, & treat the island like a real constituency.

[JCPD @JCPDnow]

@clarincom @DiazCanelB un poco tarde para esto.

[JCPD @JCPDnow]

@DJRayOsiris @NYCMayor @AOC @NydiaVelazquez @PIPtwitteando @VictoriaPorPR Propaganda. El Nuevo Día shows Mamdani surrounded almost entirely by sovereignty‑aligned figures, not a single statehooder or pro‑US group in sight. And for all the rhetoric, he’s delivered little that’s tangible for Puerto Ricans or Latinos in NYC.

[JCPD @JCPDnow]

@DAVILACOLON Mr. Mamdani @NYCMayor should focus on New York’s very real problems rather than diverting attention toward Puerto Rican independence. That stance misreads the island’s political landscape. Praising Nuyoricans while implying PR should be "free" is incoherent. Do better, Mr. Mayor.

[JCPD @JCPDnow]

@NYCMayor Exactly. Puerto Ricans are part of NYC & part of the U.S. So why the cheap political posturing, calling for “freedom” for Puerto Rico when most residents support some form of continued U.S. association? Don’t conflate the Palestinian struggle with Puerto Rico’s political status.
