On Monday, April 12, ice cream manufacturer Ben & Jerry's spoke out on Twitter against the shooting death of Daunte Wright at the hands of a Minnesota police officer.

The brand wrote:


"The murder of #DaunteWright is rooted in white supremacy and results from the intentional criminalization of Black and Brown communities."
"This system can't be reformed."
"It must be dismantled and a real system of public safety rebuilt from the ground up."
"#DefundThePolice."


Predictably, the same conservatives who often speak out against "cancel culture" were now ready to boycott the ice cream brand.


Meanwhile, many on Twitter couldn't help but laugh at conservative outrage over their discovery an always progressive liberal company was liberal leaning and progressive.

Ben & Jerry's has become well-known through the years for their bold support of progressive, liberal, humanitarian causes.



Many offered to take conservatives' ice cream off their hands if they truly didn't want it.


Progressives and Ben & Jerry's are both calling for widespread systemic change to the American justice system.


If conservatives are intent on "cancelling" Ben & Jerry's, the only people they're really going to hurt are the ice cream lovers among them.

Trump Made A Petty Dig At Taylor Swift During The Eagles' White House Visit—Because Of Course

President Donald Trump was called out after he made a petty dig at pop star Taylor Swift during his speech for the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles' visit to the White House.

In a brief speech, Trump acknowledged the Eagles' 40–22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs was “a little surprising,” a remark that appeared to reference the Chiefs' consecutive Super Bowl victories in 2023 and 2024. He then shifted focus to Swift, getting in a petty swipe drawing attention to Swift's presence at the game to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play tight end for the losing team.
