On Independence Day, actress-turned-activist and now congressional hopeful Alyssa Milano trashed America as a nation "founded on the unjust treatment of Native Americans, Africans ... and other people of color."

Milano's embedded text in the TikTok video read, "Reminder: The United States was founded on the unjust treatment of Native Americans, Africans and, and [sic] other people of color." Later in the same video, Milano wrote: "Patriotism is wanting the country you love to live up to its potential."
Also on July 4, she tweeted a quote by American abolitionist Frederick Douglass from the pre-Civil War era when slavery was still legal in the United States:
“What to the slave is the Fourth of July? The sunlight that brought life and healing to you, has brought stripes and death to me.

This Fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn.”

The above post was made unironically, and without context.
Milano, also on Sunday, re-tweeted NPR's re-posting of the Declaration of Independence with an "editor's note" in it that cites a "racist slur."
Milano's history of tweets consistently promote her very progressive viewpoints:
It is a sad day in America when only 7 republicans have the patriotism and integrity to convict a tyrant.

Since the senate won’t do its job and convict the traitor Donald Trump, the courts will have to.
Milano's activism may in the future go further than her tweets. She told the media on June 4, 2021, that she may even consider a run for Congress against incumbent Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA). Such a move would likely place her in collaboration with other progressives in Congress such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and the rest of what has been dubbed "The Squad."
