Linda Ronstadt joins the growing list of celebrities supporting Kamala Harris

In the days following the debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump—which even Fox News reported went in her favor—more and more celebrities are making their support for Harris public, in the form of statements that give the impression of a running cat.

Shortly after the debate concluded on Tuesday, self-proclaimed “childless cat lady” Taylor Swift did what many of her fans had been waiting for by coming out in support of Harris, writing: “I’m voting for Kamala Harris because she fights for the rights and causes that I believe need a fighter to represent them. I find her to be a calm, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country when we are led by calm, not chaos.”

The sentiment of Swift’s post – which was liked on Instagram by Reese Witherspoon, Selena Gomez, Ellen DeGeneres, Jennifer Aniston and many other celebs – was picked up. A singer who helped shape her success, Linda Ronstadt, voiced her own “Catlady” endorsement on Wednesday.

Ronstadt posted a photo of herself holding a kitten on Instagram and took the opportunity to sharply criticize Trump in her statement of support for Harris:

Donald Trump is holding a rally in a rented hall in my hometown of Tucson on Thursday. I would rather ignore that sad fact. But since my name is on the building, I have to say something.

It saddens me that the former president is bringing his hate show to Tucson, a city with deep Mexican-American roots and a cheerful, tolerant spirit.

I condemn not only his toxic policies, his hatred of women, immigrants and people of color, his criminality, dishonesty and ignorance – although that is not everything either.

For me, it boils down to this: In Nogales and along the southern border, the Trump administration systematically tore apart migrant families seeking asylum. Thousands of young children and babies were orphaned by family separation and their desperate mothers and fathers brutalized. It remains a humanitarian disaster that meets the criteria for torture, according to Physicians for Human Rights.

The pain he caused cannot be forgiven or forgotten.

Trump warned about rapists from Mexico during his first presidential campaign. I’m worried about how to keep the rapist out of the White House.

PS to JD Vance:

I raised two adopted children as a single mother in Tucson. They are both grown and living in their own homes. I live with a cat. Am I a semi-childless cat lady because I am unmarried and have not given birth to my children? Call me what you will, but this cat lady will proudly vote for @kamalaharris and @timwalz in November.
