Very good that she called it out for what it is. People need to leave her alone, she’s fine.

Alyssa Mildew is OVER!!! :clicktina_xtina_christina_aguilera_mouse_computer:

She doesn’t seem like a terrible person based on her activism history 

In the late 1980s, Milano contacted Ryan White, a preteen boy ostracized for having AIDS, and a fan of hers.[14][69]She attended a party for him where she sat with him for six hours making friendship bracelets.[70] They appeared together on The Phil Donahue Show, where Milano kissed White to emphasize that people do not catch the disease through casual contact.[71]

In October 2004, Milano participated in UNICEF's "Trick or Treat" campaign as the national spokesperson.[72] She raised approximately US$50,000 for South African women and children with AIDS by selling her own and schools' photo work.[73]

In support of PETA, she appeared in a 2007 advertisement for them, advocating vegetarianism, in a dress made entirely of vegetables.[74][75]

In June 2007, The Sabin Vaccine Institute, named Milano a Founding Ambassador for the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases, an alliance formed to advocate and mobilize resources in the fight to control neglected tropical diseases, to which Milano donated US$250,000. She is also a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for the United States of America,[76][77] Her field work for the organization has included a 2004 trip to Angola to speak with HIV-positive women and people disfigured by land mines during the country's civil war; a trip to India to meet displaced mothers living in squalor following the 2004 tsunami; and a 2010 trip to the settlement of Kolonia in western Kosovo to witness impoverished living conditions. Milano wrote on her blog that the latter trip was "the hardest experience I've had on a field visit", and described a waste dump close to the settlement where children spent time looking for metal to sell or scavenging for food.[78]

For her 37th birthday, December 19, 2009, Milano ran an online fundraising campaign for Charity: Water. Her original goal was to raise US$25,000, but a donation from her husband led to a total of over US$75,000 on December 18. The fundraiser ran until December 26.[79] In September 2013, Milano released a parody of a celebrity s** tape on Funny or Die that drew attention to the Syrian civil war.[80][81]

In 2014, Milano, with the South Korean rescue group,CARE, and The Fuzzy Pet Foundation in Santa Monica, helped rescue a South Korean Jindo mix dog, found covered in mange, chained, and raised for dog-meat.[82][83][84]

In 2015, Milano endorsed Bernie Sanders for President of the United States.[85] In 2016, after the Democratic Party presidential primaries, she expressed support for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.[86] She was also involved in get-out-the-vote efforts for Rob Quist.[87]

On October 15, 2017, Milano posted the message that re-launched what is known as the #MeToo movement, which was started in 2006 by Tarana Burke. According to Milano, a friend suggested that she post a message on her Twitter account encouraging survivors of ***ual harassment and assault to post #metoo as a status update. This was to gauge the widespread problem of ***ual misconduct. She was inspired to bring awareness to the commonality of s** crimes among women in the wake of Harvey Weinstein's expulsion from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for s** crimes against women in the film industry.[88] Milano emphasized that the basis of her hashtag was to create a platform where women had an "opportunity without having to go into detail about their stories if they did not want to".[89]

Since 2004, Milano has canvassed for national, state, and local candidates.[90]

Milano phone banked, a political campaign strategy to collect voter data and get out the vote, with Piper Peraboand drove people to the polls for the United States Senate special election in Alabama on December 12, 2017, to vote for Democratic candidate Doug Jones.[91]

Milano, with actor Christopher Gorham, drove voters to the polls during early voting[92] and on March 27, 2017, for Georgia's 6th congressional district 2017 special electionfor Jon Ossoff,[93] and she later posted photos of herself with the voters on Instagram.[94][95] Milano and Gorham had been in the area for the pilot of Insatiable.[96]

In 2018, she was announced as a co-chair of the Health Care Voter campaign.[97] She wrote an op-ed in Time on why health care would decide her vote in 2018.[98] In July 2018, and again in December 2020, Milano encouraged Twitter users to seek out VoteRiders to help eliminate confusion about voter ID laws.[99][100]

Following the Stoneman Douglas High School shootingMilano co-Founded #NoRA, a coalition of artists, activist, and survivors of gun violence in an effort to reduce the influence of the National Rifle Association in American government.[101]

Milano helped raise money for Richard Dien Winfield,[102][103] a Democrat in Georgia's 2018 10th congressional district race.[104]

Milano, who spoke at the 2018 Women's March, refused to participate in 2019, citing the failure of 2019 Women's March leaders Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour to condemn the homophobia, antisemitism, and transphobiaof Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.[105][106] In 2018, she was selected as one of the "Silence Breakers", who were picked as Time Person of the Year.[107]

In May 2019, Milano advocated celibacy in the form of a s** strike in retaliation of a recently passed ******** law in the U.S. state of Georgia.[108]

In September 2019, Milano met with Ted Cruz and Fred Guttenberg to discuss gun violence. Guttenberg said this was "a really important day."[109]

In March 2020, Milano endorsed former US vice president Joe Biden for president of the United States.[110] She declined to withdraw her endorsement of Biden despite a ***ual assault allegation against him.[111] On April 27, Milano tweeted that she was "aware of the new developments in Tara Reade's accusation against Joe Biden. I want Tara, like every other survivor, to have the space to be heard and seen without being used as fodder. I hear and see you, Tara."[112] This was after criticism of Milano's support for Biden where she appeared to backtrack on her previous stance for believing women.[113] On April 28, in an op-ed for Deadline Hollywood, Milano reiterated her support for Biden and considered "Believing women was never about 'Believe all women no matter what they say,' it was about changing the culture of NOT believing women by default."[114]

In October 2021, Milano was arrested during a voting rights demonstration outside the White House.[115]

In November 2022, Milano announced via Twitter that she had exchanged her Tesla for a Volkswagen electric vehicle.  She declared, "I gave back my Tesla, I bought the VW ev. I love it. I'm not sure how advertisers can buy space on Twitter. Publicly traded company's products being pushed in alignment with hate and white supremacy doesn't seem to be a winning business model."  Critics were quick to point out Volkswagen’s past relationship with the **** Party which founded the then state owned company in 1937.[116][117] ”
