Jennifer Lawrence urged Americans to “Go vote” on her Instagram story.
She also posted a photo of then added an image of herself making the District 12 salute from The Hunger Games, and added for fans, “Don’t forget who burns with us.” (For the uninitiated, in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Lawrence’s character Katniss Everdeen issues the following threat to President Snow and the ruling elite: “Fire is catching! And if we burn, you burn with us!”)

The Guardians of the Galaxy actor, who stayed neutral in the last presidential election, posted an image of himself and his “I voted” sticker with the caption, “It’s like a gold star, but patriotic.”
That’s likely an unintentionally poor choice of words, given that the term “gold star,” for many, conjures the idea of Gold Star military families.

On election day, Jennifer Aniston may be looking forward to a happier season: The holidays.
The Emmy winner posted a video to her Instagram Stories that showed an inflatable Santa Claus being lowered down onto the ground with the word “mood” across the image.
The video is likely from the set of Olivia Wilde’s upcoming Naughty, about which Deadline broke the news. In it, Aniston stars as Mallory, a woman whose only hope of securing custody of her son from her gaslighting ex is to find Santa Claus (Peter Dinklage) and convince him to testify at her divorce hearing.
Lest fans not see the election-day connection, the actress put a link to voting centers at the bottom of the image with the words “go vote!”

Rosie O’Donnell has published a steady stream of election-day walkup posts on Instagram. Today, she asked the question, “Is it me or does not feel like our entire nation is waiting for the results of a biopsy?”
That followed a simpler repost: A photo of red hat emblazoned with text paraphrasing a post-holocaust mantra of determination and opposition. Given O’Donnell’s politics and the color of the hat, it’s probably safe to say the message was decidedly un-MAGA.
