Jessica Alba took to her Instagram Stories to share a message that was written by political strategist Ana Navarro-Cárdenas.

“I’ve seen endless criticisms of five women doing their space thing. I can’t see how it affects our lives. I wish people would show same energy and focus that anger towards fearlessly denouncing Trump’s abuses of power, which do affect countless lives in the U.S. and the world,” the message read.

Jessica Chastain didn’t share any of her own thoughts, but she reshared criticism.

Chastain took to X / Twitter to share an opinion article from The Guardian with the headline, “The Blue Origin flight showcased the utter defeat of American feminism.” The article noted, “The trip leaned on a vision of women’s empowerment that is light on substance and heavy on a childlike, girlish silliness.”
