Brace Robert Belden (born October 13, 1989) is an American podcaster, union activist, and former volunteer fighter who served with the People's Protection Units (YPG), a Kurdish militia, during the Syrian Civil War from 2016 to 2017. He is best known for co-hosting the popular left-wing podcast TrueAnon with Liz Franczak, which focuses on political conspiracies and elite power structures.

Belden gained initial notoriety through his Twitter account @PissPigGranddad, where he documented his experiences fighting ISIS alongside Kurdish forces. After returning to the United States, he became a prominent labor organizer, helping to establish the first craft brewery union in American history at Anchor Brewing Company in 2019.
