\"Doesn’t everyone think we all want to go out freely and travel and enjoy summer,\" she pointed out. \"It really seems like Americans just don’t care about each other.\"

Duff also touched upon how the pandemic has been politicized, calling it \"a head scratcher\" because of how other countries have handled the outbreak.

\"Other countries have come together in a beautiful way to contain or be Covid free,\" she added. \"It’s embarrassing that we are worse than ever because people need to party and Karens won’t wear masks!\"

The \"So Yesterday\" singer ended her note with a pointed jab at Kanye West by announcing that she, too, is running for president.

The rapper made headlines over the holiday weekend by announcing his candidacy.
