Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

Before you all go patting Greyhound on the back for this policy:

This is from 5 years ago.
They only changed their policy after being sued by the Washington State AG.
They were forced to pay $2.2 million for violating their customers rights by allowing Border Patrol to conduct warrantless searches in the first place.
It's estimated that 57,000 people were on Greyhound busses boarded by border patrol, in Spokane alone, from 2013-2020.

Good guy bus driver

Thanks for the added info, it sucks to know but isn't surprising, but nowhere do I (or anyone else I can see E: aside from the single mention in the AP post that OP is commenting on, obviously) give props or even mention greyhound.
