Report from someone at a Puerto Vallarta all inclusive hotel at Spring Break:

Every night during the entertainment the hosts would do a roll call to get the audience excited.

"Who's here from Canada!?🇨🇦
Whoooo!! goes part of the crowd.

"y de Mexíco!?🇲🇽
WHOOO!! Goes another part of the crowd.

"WHO's here from the USA!! 🇺🇸
...... nothing .... 🦗 🦗 🦗

.....

And it isn't because there were no Americans.

So ya, Dear Americans, I am sorry, I know this hurts, I know you are ashamed. I know you kinda brought this on yourselves and you feel that. I really hope you can fix it. All of us do!

I have written before that I have been disappointed that the Canadian and Mexican governments haven't had a more cooperative and supportive strategy at the government level, but at the citizen level apparently there was real solidarity and support and love shown by Mexicans on the street and at the hotel to Canadians, and vice versa.

VIVA MEXICO! 🇲🇽 ELBOWS UP! 🇨🇦

Here is a good take for those that #protest and want to keep the people in your network safe from dragnets.

When you are not making good personal #security choices, you can implicate others.

Am especially on board with the mindset that it's not about provability in court. It's about keeping you and loved ones from incarceration and deportation.
