Ben & Jerry’s is suing parent company Unilever, which instructed them to stop criticizing Trump. An ice cream company stepped up with more spine than Congress and legacy media.

*The guac headline is satire, I think, probably.

This is actually been going on for a year, because Unilever didn't want to sell Ben and Jerry's in Israel, because the CEOs are outspoken in support of the Palestinians.

They are breaking up anyway (announced a few days ago), but helpful to know where the company stands. Plenty of other beauty brands and household products. Check the labels.

The spin off of Unilever’s ice cream business as a stand alone company is the reason they gagged B&J. They don’t want them rocking the boat right now.

I’d never argue with someone who says that the Dutch are lovely people, cuz in my personal experience, they are. Just remember that they invented capitalism, and recently elected a fascist government. Only saying.
