@reuters: Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, was arrested and dragged out of a Senate hearing by U.S. capitol police after protesting the war in Gaza during Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s testimony. "You're killing poor kids in Gaza and paying for it by cutting Medicaid for kids here," shouted Cohen, who had attended a pro-Palestine event earlier in the day, referring to Medicaid cuts proposed in the Republican spending bill and U.S. support for Israel's war in Gaza. #benandjerrys #bencohen #protest #gaza #rfkjr #senate #arrest

They don’t pay with it from the Medicad money. They pay for it WITH OUR TAXES! Israel has free health care including abortions on American tax payer money. They have free: Health Care, free colleges, free fking everything. It’s all ours and they stole it.

Lowkey I thought Ben and Jerry’s activism was all performative because I’ve come to expect that from companies their size, but he’s literally going to JAIL for it. Mad respect.

He is an elder and they pull him like a criminal just for speaking out his mind. What the hell is wrong with that country, completely unacceptable.

Yo be clear, he is not the ceo. He was bought out and will not directly benefit from you going out and buying ice cream. You will be supporting Unilever, the company that FIRED him for his activism. You will be doing the opposite of good.

Mad respect to Ben Cohen for not being a sheep and using his platform the right way. Imagine if more companies took the initiative like this. He's getting arrested for promoting the human right of food. This is incredibly dystopian, history will look down on these officers.
