Jane Fonda & Lily Tomlin on Being Arrested & Grace and Frankie

Lily motioning to Jane to sit closer melted my heart. It just shows how close they really are as friends—“Here, friend, invade my personal space!”

[Brendonmakesmesmile]

Jane and Lily likely won’t be around to see the world be screwed over by climate change but they still care enough to try and do something about it. That makes me respect them even more.

[Rachel-owij]

She is doing this because she said she is aware that she can use her white, rich privilege to make a statement. These legends are in their 80s, clear minded and trying to make a difference.

[sfitzic]

Forget Grace and Frankie, I could watch 10 seasons of Jane and Lily.

[radsical]

“I’m white. and famous” lmao Jane Fonda telling it like it is. I love these two

[TalinShahnazarian]

She clearly said it’s not about the arrests and then he asks her about the

[iamdenislara]

Ok. So, for those who are commenting “rIcH PeOple blah blah” YES! That was her point! She has explained that as an older white lady she has the time and money to spend getting arrested! She has also explained she is no longer buying clothes and other items because she will die soon so there is no point for her to adquirir more stuff. Here we have an old person using her time doing what we (at least myself) can’t afford to do: getting arrested to call for action on climate change.

[toripurgers]

"We have a climate crisis. This is not about the arrest."


"So tell me about the arrest..."

[threehillsboy]

Jane is so educated about the situation and knows exactly what she's doing, and I will always applaud her for using her position and her privilege to raise awareness for a cause.

[HipHopFan]

Jane: passionately tries to raise awareness about an actual issue

Jimmy: so how’s it being arrested?


🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

[Mac]

That little move of Lily patting the empty area beside her for Jane to come closer was just adorable. I want a lifelong friend like that!

[zanthonyhill]

How the hell is Jane Fonda like this? She's 82...and she's vibrant, has energy, doesn't seem to have hearing issues, doesn't seem slow or stiff. I need to check out her regiment.

[AceFace]

All the the power to Jane Fonda. She has been an activist for decades lending her voice to great causes. Legend.

[reby]

Jimmy is getting really bad at interviews 🤦

Poor Jane, don't worry darling we understood

[rafcorreia]

he continually interrupted Lily while she was talking. so rude.

[tjpm]

These women are talking necessary realness.

[marialacona]

That’s a person that is aware of her privilege, unlike other white people that get offended. Good for her! I love these ladies!

[mariahcatalan]

I just don’t like how Jane is trying to talk about a serious issue & jimmy tries to make it into some kind of joke. I love what Jane is doing & she will forever be a role model to me ❤️

[victora]

This season of grace and frankie was really good. Hope they have at least 3 more.

[NewMessage]

We're never gonna avoid the 'tipping point'... but I'd rather be on the side who tried, than the one who smirked and poured gas on the fire.
