Medea Benjamin (co-founder of Code Pink) is voicing opposition the military aid packages to Ukraine. She notes there was not one vote against it from Democrats, and on the issue she is aligned with the “extreme right” and Donald Trump.

It is not surprising that Medea Benjamin pushes ideas that benefit Russia instead of Ukraine. In other conflicts she has sided with civilians suffering from violence but she has historically been a dedicated Communist revolutionary so she probably has to go along with Russia's plans.

Her daughter Arlen is named after Sandinista revolutionary Arlen Siu, with her daughter once writing "I grew up believing that protest lines and teach-ins were normal family outings ... I was born in Cuba to an Afro-Cuban father and Jewish-American mother, and the fact that I was named for the first woman to die fighting for the Nicaraguan [Sandinista] Revolution gives you an idea of my politically oriented upbringing"
