Invoking the Insurrection Act against people exercising their First Amendment rights? That's absurd!

People fought and died for the freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and the freedom to criticize the President. We've got to be non-violently out in the streets and protesting. #NoKingsRally

A week ago, Jerry left Ben & Jerry's. Thanks to everyone who has sent their support. Keep sharing to get the word out and #FreeBenAndJerrys!

Jerry wanted you to hear this from him.

We built Ben & Jerrys to stand for peace and love. It was needed then and it’s needed more than ever now. Which is why Magnum must #FreeBenAndJerrys

See Jerry’s full message at freebenandjerrys.com and be part of the campaign.

After 47 years, Jerry has made the difficult decision to step down from the company we built together. I’m sharing his words as he resigns from Ben & Jerry’s. His legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced by @magnumicecreamco.bsky.social #FreeBenAndJerrys

What do you want: a socially conscious company that stands up for common decency… or @magnumicecreamco.bsky.social?

Magnum is ripping the heart out of Ben & Jerry's - set us free!

I'm in London today to tell The Magnum Ice Cream Company: if Ben & Jerry’s is going to stand up for what matters, we need to be independent.

Ben & Jerry’s has always stood for progressive values and social justice.

Today, as we become part of The Magnum Ice Cream Company through the Unilever de-merger, we’re urging the board to let us operate independently again so we can stay true to our founding mission. #FreeBenAndJerrys

$1.1 trillion cut from health care. Then bloating the Pentagon budget by $150 billion.

This is the exact opposite of what people need and want.

There’s something that’s driving me up a wall— the insane size of our nuclear arsenal. @upinarms-us.bsky.social

‼️TODAY IN D.C.
Ploughshares President @emlbelcher.bsky.social moderated a press conference for the launch of @upinarms-us.bsky.social with @yobencohen.bsky.social. The 💵money brick💵 represents the $$$ spent by the U.S. government on the nuclear arsenal—half of which is to develop nuclear weapons.

The cube is estimated to be the tallest protest structure in D.C.'s history, and it is OPEN to the public today outside of Union Station. 🚉 Beat the heat (& pls hydrate!) and head inside the cube for a (air-conditioned😅) video exhibit

Today in DC, a *massive money monument*—made of fake $100 bills—stood as a stunning symbol of Pentagon waste.
$100 billion to build new nukes while kids lose healthcare? That’s the reality.
It’s time we get *Up In Arms*. #NuclearSpending

Lavishing money on the military does NOT make us safer. Watch expert William Hartung from the @quincyinst.bsky.social explain the 5 things you need to know about the military-industrial-congressional complex.

I told Congress they're killing poor kids in Gaza by buying bombs, and they're paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US. This was the authorities' response:

Ben Cohen, the co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s, was removed from a Senate hearing today at the US Capitol.

I hear him mention Gaza as he’s been pulled away by Cap Police.
