Ed Asner was very politically active in the 80s and involved himself in a lot of progressive movements at the time. He was vocally opposed to Reagan's interventions in Central America and advocated heavily for women's rights during that period too. He's not strictly leftist though and has had some questionable moments.

Paul Robeson was the GOAT though, amazing guy.

Explains why he signed on for Captain Planet (Hoggish Greedley).

Reminds me to mention Ted Turner, despite being a billionaire himself, Captain Planet was his passion project.

Is George Lucas a lefty, tho?

Absolutely. The NIMBY conservatives of Marin County hate him for it, too. He wanted to build some new studio space in a fairly rich area and the community vetoed it, so instead he found a way to use the same money to open low income housing on the same spot instead that didn't require approval from the residents of the area.

I think Rise Against is the worlds best example for a modern and influential Punk band

Unrelated image of some cool as fuck Disney writers striking on Walt's birthday.

Supposedly this march was led by Warner Bros cartoon director Chuck Jones. The WB cartoonists(at the time contracted to Leon Schlesinger Productions) had successfully lobbied for unionization not to long before the Disney strike started. Other WB animators are right there carrying the guillotine as well.

Doing good but being an absolute troll about it.

Wow, he actually succeed? Last I'd heard, the NIMBY's were still fighting him. Great news.

Jon St John is strongly Anti-Trump, pro LGBTQ and extremely outspoken to the point that he tells pro Trump Twitter followers/Facebook fans to fuck off.

Wish he was more outspoken about Ion Maidens anti LGBTQ stance though.
