A couple of weeks ago, Vin Diesel posted on Instagram advocating for Brittney Griner's release.

In the now-deleted post, Vin captioned a pic of him giving a thumbs up with: "I need Brittney Griner home before Christmas."

People, of course, *believe* Vin is responsible for this.

"Vin Diesel kept his promise," this person said.

This person cried tears of joy.

And this person saluted his work.

There are memes.

There are celebrations.

And there better be a movie about this!!

Either way, this is exactly the right amount of ridiculous I needed today.

Thank you, Vin. <3
