Off topic, but I noticed UNIDXS on the sign and I was wondering whether that’s a common way to gender-neutral-ify Spanish in Mexico?
I’ve seen it in the US, but only in “Latinx”. I have never seen it in European Spanish, there i usually see “o/a”.

Boycott US

Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Latinx is a shitty way to try to colonize the language by well-meaning but ultimately ignorant Americans. Using @ is a little more common but frankly "UNIDOS" just makes more sense for the most amount of Spanish speaking people.
In Mexico, I frequently see @. E.g. unid@s.
I love that! It looks like an a and like an o too!
