This claim originated on a self-described satire site.
Roseanne Barr supports former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. Tim Allen attended Trump’s presidential inauguration. And Kurt Russell has identified himself as a "hardcore libertarian."
But these actors didn’t form a "non-woke actors alliance," as a recent Facebook post claims.
"Kurt Russell forms a new non-woke actors alliance with Roseanne Barr and Tim Allen," an Aug. 27 Facebook post said.

The statement was lifted without context from a self-described satire site. The post featured a link to a blog that repasted a June 29 story from SpaceXMania without giving the website credit. SpaceXMania describes its mission as bringing readers the "freshest fake news."
We found no credible evidence, such as authentic news stories or statements from the actors, that this claim is real.
We rate it False.
