While the rest of the nation was celebrating America's Independence Day, some on the far-left condemned the holiday celebrating freedom as a symbol of oppression.
Progressive activist Bree Newsome Bass, who garnered national attention when she removed the Confederate flag in front of a monument at the South Carolina statehouse in 2015, sent several tweets criticizing America.
"Americans’ false belief that this country has been on a steady progression toward granting equal rights to all since its founding is exactly what inspires complacency in this hour as the Supreme Court replaces the constitution with themselves," she tweeted.
