“I haven’t 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. This is me. And this is my dog, Dash. Strap in,” Sally posted along with two photos with her dog Dash.
Field, in her second post, shared a photo of herself standing in front of a television as Harris accepted the nomination.
‘The hope is there. In the middle of the room with me and my 18 year old, recently registered grandson to vote. I’m shouting from the highest mountaintop I can find,” Field wrote as a caption to her approximately 5,000 followers.
‘Vote for our country, our children and grandchildren. Vote for the earth and women and human rights. Vote for democracy. Vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Please, dear God. (And I will be your best friend.),” she added.
Field criticized 78-year-old Donald Trump after the 2016 election for his lack of experience and hypocrisy.
“If you look at his past, if you look at his history, there is no evidence that he can do a single thing that he says he’s going to do,” she said on Chelsea Handler’s Netflix show at the time.
“He has shown himself to be everything he accuses and has accused Hillary Clinton of that. It’s now clear that he is all those things, everything he accused her of,” she added.
Last month, Field shared heartbreaking details about the illegal abortion she had in Mexico when she was just 17.

“I’m still very ashamed of it because I grew up in the 1950s and it’s ingrained in me,” the Mrs. Star said. Doubtfire in a video.
‘I have been so hesitant to do this, to tell my horrific story. It was once worse than it is now. A time when contraception was not readily available and only if you were married.
“But I feel like so many women of my generation have experienced similar, traumatic events, and I feel stronger when I think about them. I believe that, like me, they should want to fight for their grandchildren and all the young women of this country.”
She explained that she had “no choices, family support or finances” at the time.
“I graduated high school, but no one ever said, ‘What about college?’ Nothing. I didn’t know what I would become. And then I found out I was pregnant.”
She said a doctor and his wife, who were family friends, drove her and her mother to Tijuana, Mexico, in their brand new Cadillac.
In harrowing detail, she went on to say: “We parked on a very dirty looking street. It was scary and he parked about three blocks away and said, “See that building down there?”
“And he gave me an envelope with cash and I had to walk into that building and give them the cash and then come right back to him.”
Sally described the abortion, which occurred before the now-overturned Supreme Court ruling of Roe v. Wade, as “extremely horrible and life-changing.”
The procedure was performed without anesthesia, with just a technician giving me a few puffs of ether, but then taking it away, leaving my arms and legs feeling numb and weird, but I felt everything – how much pain I felt. was inside.’
To make matters worse, Field realized that the technician was actually harassing her: “So I had to figure out, how can I get my arms to move to push him away?” So it was just this absolute pit of shame. And when it was done, they said, “Go, go, go, go!” as if the building was on fire. They didn’t want me there; You know, it was illegal.”
In her caption, she said that reproductive rights are “one of the reasons why so many of us support Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.”
“Everyone, please pay attention to this election, up and down the ballot, in every state – especially those with ballot initiatives that could protect reproductive freedom. Please. We can’t go back!’
Finally, she wrote, “So here’s my story. I would be honored if you would tell me yours, if you can.”
