Mexico City's Day of the Dead parade honors migrants.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-46008672

This year the parade was themed around migration.

The city's government dedicated the parade to migrants who have lost their lives in transit, at a time when thousands from across Central America are currently travelling in a caravan through the country.

One part of the parade had people carrying parts of a border wall, which said (in Spanish): "On this side there is also a dream."

I raised a monarch cat that eclosed as a female late this past summer. It may have had enough time to produce one more generation that would have been the generation to start flying on down to Mexico!
