You're welcome!

By the 60s, Parker lived alone in NYC. She followed the Civil Rights movement with great interest & made sure her will reflected it, leaving her entire estate to a man she had never met: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. As stipulated in her will, the estate was passed to the NAACP on Dr. King's death.

In the 1930s, Parker’s focus was drawn to Europe, as anti-Semitism swept Germany. She was instrumental in founding the Hollywood Anti-Nazi League to spread the word about Hitler.

Parker was also involved in raising defense funds for the Scottsboro Boys, nine African American teenagers who were falsely accused of raping two women in Alabama.

When she was in Hollywood and finally earning enough money to afford a luxurious lifestyle, she fought for the fledgling Screen Writers Guild, to help the writers who didn’t have her clout with the notorious studio executives.

In 1927, Italian immigrant anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti were charged with murder and sentenced to death by a judge with a political ax to grind. Unable to bear the miscarriage of justice, Parker traveled to Boston to protest the execution, and was arrested. (She was later released with a $5 fine.)

In honor of Women's History Month, I'm reposting these 5 examples of Dorothy Parker's political activities...

Children are dying of measles and this wormbrained macho fucker spends his days staging fake workout photos.

I have a zero tolerance policy for anyone posting lies about Hillary Clinton. That's all. I won't be taking questions at this time.

Today's quote is from Maya Angelou

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Well, I finally got someone on the phone who sounded like a normal human being and not a gestapo officer. (She's young and new.) She said if I didn't have prior approval then the toys were likely not distributed. 😢

Your daily Dorothy Parker

For a month I tried to find out what would happen if I sent toys to kids at the detention center in Dilley, TX, w/no luck. I so just decided to send a few toys to see what would happen. As of now, I know they were delivered, but I have no idea if the staff handed them out or threw them in the trash.

🚨 MAJOR BOMBSHELL: Ted Lieu says the full, unreleased Epstein files show Donald Trump R*PING children.

That’s what’s being hidden.
That’s why the files stay sealed.
That’s why there are no arrests.

Release everything. Let the truth come out. Or RESIGN!

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
