Good morning.

Apologies for the vivid imagery this early in the morning, but I figured we could all use a pick me up.

What a world that this is, indeed, good news.

@lisagetspolitik This is almost 5 years old but definitely still a pick me up. Thank you.

@starluna @lisagetspolitik

Gee, thank you! It really is from January 2020 that #Greyhound announced to stop letting ICE agents on their buses.
But maybe, this decision still holds, no?

Greyhound says it will stop letting Border Patrol agents conduct routine immigration checks on its buses

SEATTLE (AP) — Greyhound says it will stop letting Border Patrol agents conduct routine immigration checks on its buses.

@anlomedad @starluna Thanks for the date! Just goes to show we've been avoiding a real solution on immigration for far too long.
@lisagetspolitik Yes, the imagery of an ICE agent is indeed disturbing.
@lisagetspolitik (the imagery of an ICE agent gargling a bus driver's balls is pretty OK though)
@lisagetspolitik Adding this to my vocabulary 😄
@lisagetspolitik @lisamelton the Gray Lady may have abandoned reason for madness, but the Grey Hound remains faithful…

@lisagetspolitik Thank you to whichever person decided to add [his]

No matter how bad things get, it's the small endless defiance which destroys tyranny

@Fontasia It's interesting, you could interpret it as a command to gargle your *own* balls, or alternatively, gargle the bus driver's balls.

Ah, languange.

@lisagetspolitik Do we know anything about the bus driver's balls? And whether or not the ICE agent accepted the offer?

@lisagetspolitik

Every human can be a castle against the fascists.

@lisagetspolitik For some of the kids on the bus, if English was a second language they were learning, I hope "Gargle my balls!" becomes a common greeting when they meet ICE agents.

Might as well ensure that there is a hashtag for it too.

#GargleMyBalls

@lisagetspolitik Haha! This reminds me why I adore average blue collar Americans, compared to the greedy people who run your country.
@lisagetspolitik I so needed this laugh! Thank you for bringing it here!
@MiriShuli Yes, we need more laughter, I am doing my best to share humor when I can. Here is another one, from a Reddit thread about Trump's threat to annex Greenland.

@lisagetspolitik @Brad_Rosenheim

Not all heroes wear capes.

Some apparently wear codpieces.

@lisagetspolitik @Brad_Rosenheim I probably would have told him to gargle my PISS.
