Leave it to the Resistance to try to ruin ice cream:

More from Ben & Jerry’s:
Alongside all those nutty chunks, this pint packs a powerful message under its lid: together, we can build a more just and equitable tomorrow. We can peacefully resist the Trump administration’s regressive and discriminatory policies and build a future that values inclusivity, equality, and justice for people of color, women, the LGBTQ community, refugees, and immigrants. Pecan Resist supports four organizations that are working on the front lines of the peaceful resistance, building a world that supports their values. Get to know them, then find Pecan Resist here!
Speaking of nutty chunks, did you catch the list of Ben & Jerry’s partners? The ice cream mavens have teamed up with the Women’s March to preach fudge-covered tolerance. The irony.
Also unintentionally hilarious?
Is this only going to be available online and in scoop shops? Or possibly retailers as well? #IWantIT

Yes, in our Scoop Shops and from our online store only.

Hey, that doesn’t sound very inclusive …
So it represents "creating a more just and equitable nation for us all" but has limited, exclusive access and isn't available in retail stores? ?☕ https://t.co/fpwEbn4UAN

Ben and Jerry, you’re doing it wrong. Again.
Yeah no.

It tastes like parental disappointment and student loan debt. https://t.co/B7U2cn2ekE

Update:
Ben and Jerry's says it's "comfortable" partnering with the Women's March, whose founders have strong ties to an open anti-Semite. The connection isn't disgusting, racist, or problematic, @benandjerrys said, just a "point of view different from our own."https://t.co/zesVrhUWpz

I wasn't a fan of your shitty, overpriced ice cream before, but I'll be sure to pick it up now that I know it supports abortion enthusiasts and anti-Semites. https://t.co/N5d8rocRlp
