i thought the same thing at first but i read the article and actually learned something about her. pretty cool lady who was politically active in her youth and still is.
I find this comment pretty surprising because all my impression of Jane is about her influential activism.
Anti-war stance, HWPC, getting arrested 3 times at 80+ years old for climate change, supporting LGBTQ+s since 70s etc.
I know all these and I’m just a random guy from Turkiye.
Sometimes she’s cool. Other times, she’s doing the racist “Tomahawk Chop” when watching Atlanta Braves games with her former husband, Ted Turner.
…or being photographed sitting on an anti-aircraft gun aimed at American service members.
