Foreigners are burning down New York City churches now?

Dear Third-Worldists:

If you EVER try to burn down a Roman Catholic Church, we will inflict levels of retribution on you so powerful that you will all be RUNNING back to Uganda.

Love,

The Italians

JUST IN: Florida’s AG announces subpoenas for General Mills and Pillsbury over their use of potassium bromate, a chemical linked to cancer, DNA damage, and even possible hearing loss.

@AGJamesUthmeier: "There's been sufficient evidence of ties to kidney, thyroid, and abdominal cancer. It is a genotoxic, causing oxidative stress. It's been linked to DNA damage and other cellular harms. Again, it's not something that we want to risk when it comes to our kids."

Officials say this is just the start of the investigation.

BREAKING: Old school New Yorkers meeting to save the city from the communist…

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

These people are ridiculous.
They have lost all tethers to a sense of self. Their entire identity now relies on this treasonous hate of America. They make up fantasies of how horrible America never was to justify their need to "fight tyranny." They have no identity but this. And they cling to it with a death grip, because they have nothing else.
None of it is true. Not the fantasy about America about which she is shrieking, not her identity of believing herself to be some "hero" in a movie about an oppressive government, and not the resulting congress-free, senate-free, President-free, childish (and completely chaotic) future she sees for this country.
She is an infant.
She and others like her will not get their way. Not even close. If you have a modicum of common sense, it's time to let your line in the sand about tolerance be made known.
Myself, I have a limit to tolerance.
I have a limit to patience.
I know there is a limit to free speech.
If your plan is to tear down the United States of America, if your plan is treason, I will not tolerate you, I will have zero patience for you, and I will not defend your right to free speech.

A 4-year-old boy whose father left him, stood outside every single day for months waving at strangers... just hoping somebody would say hi back, in North Carolina.

Then one neighbor walked across the street to meet him.

Now an ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD shows up for his soccer games, his swim lessons, his birthday parties.

Roman Butzlaff is 4 years old, from Concord NC, just outside Charlotte.

His mom says he wakes up every single morning excited to say "hi" to somebody. It's the very first thing he wants to do.

But behind that big smile was a hurting little heart. His parents split about a year ago and his dad moved away.

Then a neighbor named Wade Fulgum did the simplest, most powerful thing in the world.

He just walked across the street... and met the little boy who was always waving at him.

And it spread.

Now about a DOZEN neighbors, people who barely knew each other's names, show up for Roman's soccer games.

His basketball games. His swimming lessons. Even his preschool open house. His birthday party guest list was basically a map of the block.

One neighbor said it best: "If the world was like this child, what an awesome, awesome place it would be."

Italian Americans were the victims of the largest mass lynching in US history.

Italian Americans were spit on when they tried to get jobs.

Italian Americans were given only the most dangerous jobs for the worst pay.

Italian Americans were second class citizens in all aspects of society.

But we put our head down and worked.

There were no food stamps, reparations, or communist mayors to support.

We endured the hardships because we believed in, and so desperately wanted to become a part of AMERICA!

Hey Zohran,

Can today’s immigrants of “Little Yemen, Little Uganda and Little Palestine” say the same?

This is why America is in decline.

Watch the bots swarm & attack me for posting this.

[Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson]

Why were you there? Why is a sitting US Congressman venturing into a war zone while his nation negotiates peace?

How does this help “affordability” in your district? Who paid for this trip? What are your motives, other than trashing your own nation for fundraising sound bites?

This violates so many laws and national intent that I don’t know what else to say.

You’re a traitor.

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

The thing that I keep thinking about is:

If the Senate is willing to withhold information from the American people about its own colleagues,

how can we even trust them for a second when they say, “We don’t have the votes.”

What else are they withholding?

[Dr. Naomi Wolf. 8 NYT Bestsellers. DPhil, Poetry. @naomirwolf]

In Prospect Park, the historic Lefferts mansion, built by the Dutch Lefferts family who settled in and developed this part of Brooklyn in the 17, 18, 19 and early 20th centuries, is mostly closed and for months has been draped in African fabric and posters of African tribespeople, for no historic reason that I can tell except to erase the important story of a pioneering Dutch family in NYC. The current (taxpayer funded) exhibits are of a (cool) African American politician and of the Lenape native Americans. A ‘reimagine’ campaign decided that celebrating Caribbean culture was Lefferts House’s new mission. Contemporary Caribbean culture is great but has no central relationship to the Lefferts family or to the story of Dutch history in Brooklyn.due to a period of slaveholding which is certainly real and serious, and a practice which the Dutch in America shared with everyone else at the time, including Africans who sold slaves, the Lefferts family story is reduced to their role as slaveholders and their central while courageous role in leaving Europe and turning Brooklyn from wilderness to suburb, is erased. None of the African tribal images that drape the mansion relate directly to the (substantial, pioneering) Dutch settlement of this family in Brooklyn or to the Lefferts family itself except by inference in relation to slaveholding. The entire Dutch influence on NY, which ALSO brought Enlightenment-era reason, mercantilism, religious tolerance and intellectual curiosity, is nowhere to be seen. The Lefferts family, its archive, personalities, legacy? Much harder if not impossible now to discern beyond the period in which they held slaves. Their activity in Brooklyn though extended 150 years past that time.

[Jason Murillo for NY Senate @JasonMurilloNY]

I'm Jason Murillo, a proud Italian American, lifelong New Yorker, and candidate for NYS Senate in Lower Manhattan. It is outrageous and a slap in the face from Zohran Mamdani to all Italians who, for generations have built, served, bled, and died for America.

[The Italian American Civil Rights League @TheIACRL]

We were here before Zohran.

We will be here long after Zohran.

Little Italy will NOT be erased.

[Paul Mauro @PaulDMauro]

Perfectly said.

[The Italian American Civil Rights League @TheIACRL]

We are EVERYWHERE.

And we are just getting started.

The Italian American Civil Rights League will NOT yield.

We will soon hold a rally in the HEART OF LITTLE ITALY to show the world we were here long BEFORE Zohran and will be here long AFTER he’s gone.

NO COMMUNISTS!

[Mike Crispi @MikeCrispi]

Dear Zorahn Mamdani. WE built New York City.

Not third world Ugandans. Zohran has specifically targeted Italian Americans repeatedly, and we will accept it no longer.

WE REJECT COMMUNISM!

@TheIACRL is coming.

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

Little Italy helped build New York City.

Leaving it off an ethnic enclave map is a mistake that deserves an explanation…

[Gina Milan @ginamilan_]

Italian blood built New York City.

Our grandparents and great grandparents came here with nothing and built everything. They laid the roads, dug the subway tunnels, raised bridges, carved stone, poured concrete, and helped build landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge, Grand Central Terminal, the Empire State Building, and countless churches, schools, and neighborhoods that still define this city today.

Little Italy wasn’t handed to us. It was earned through generations of sweat, sacrifice, and relentless hard work.

No stupid Muslim from Uganda gets to erase that legacy or rewrite our history.

Mamdani, GO FUCK YOURSELF.

Italian Americans helped build New York City, and we’ll never let anyone forget it.

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

How do you ‘accidentally’ ignore the Italian heritage of NYC?

[Pamela Hensley🇺🇸 @PamelaHensley22]

The same Mamdani who ran on taxing the rich is now demanding a 20% salary increase for himself and fellow New York City officials.

This is exactly what communists do.

[The Italian American Civil Rights League @TheIACRL]

Zohran Mamdani wants to ERASE Italian Americans.

First, he denied our permit for Unity Day 2026.

Now, he is excluding Little Italy as a recognized location all together on the map.

Italian Americans BUILT NEW YORK CITY. Not third world Ugandans,

We stand AGAINST COMMUNISTS!
