“I’ve not been on social media. Not since it became public toilet paper for our former crook of a President. But ‘hope is making a comeback.’ So here I am,” she captioned a carousel of her with her dog, Dash, on Thursday.
She posted a second photo on Friday of her in front of the TV playing the Democratic National Convention. “Hope is here. Right in the room with me and my 18-year-old newly registered to vote grandson,” she wrote. “I’m, screaming from the highest mountain top I can find.”
Field pleaded with people to vote for their country, children, grandchildren, the earth, women, human rights and democracy. “Vote for @kamalaharris and @timwalz,” she concluded. “Please dear God. (And I’ll be your best friend.)”
This isn’t the first time the Steel Magnolias star has been vocal against Donald Trump. Following the 2016 election, she stopped by Chelsea Handler’s Netflix show and slammed the former president for his hypocrisy and lack of experience.
“If you look at his past, if you look at his history, there is no evidence that he can do one single thing that he says he’s going to do,” Field said at the time. “He has shown to be everything that he accuses and has accused Hillary Clinton of being. It is now evident he is all of those things, every single thing that he accused her of.”
Field has been nominated for three Oscars, for her work on 1979’s Norma Rae, 1984’s Places in the Heart and 2012’s Lincoln. She won the best actress awards for the former two films.
