Ah yes... save Albania from the rest of Europe by building an Aman Resort in Sazan owned by a Russian national.

[Dominus Albaniae @EpiriEtAlbaniae]

Built that resort, now @realDonaldTrump

Or the country will go bust, the Russians will feel elated and the EU leftist will claim victory

Save Albania from the rest of Europe

@UkLushi @lea_ypi If the workers are foreign and the profits leave the country, who exactly is being invested in?

[ALBAN @albanselami]

I remember when I started an Albanian jersey business in 2014 (AlbanFootball, for those who remember).

I made a sale before I had even officially launched the store. That's when I knew this might actually work.

P.S. Shoutout to Alex from Australia that placed the first order.

@JuxhinCelaEU Kur flet neper vidio ate pershpyje te jep, se do te justifokesh tek te huajte qe ne jemi keshtu e nuk jemi ashtu. Nuk jam rracist (se kam jetuar jashte ku me te vertet e kam pare rracizmin e vertet), por te them te drejten me pelqejne pak me shume shqiptaret se te tjeret.

[ALBAN @albanselami]

@JuxhinCelaEU Shoku, nje keshille miqesore. Mos ki turp te jesh Shqiptar se doli Olsi Jabanxhiu (qe eshte anti-shqiptar i vetshpallur) del e flet kunder tyre dhe ne nje menyre e ka bere kauzen e tij. Ti ke arsyejet e tua, dil per ato dhe fol. Leri moralizmat e mediave se nje mut jan kudo.

There is no longer any shame in politics (though there never really was—people just hid it better). It's the Trump effect. Rama knows the masses crave entertainment, so he gives them a show. He understands the theater of our times.

Yes the Prime Minister of Albania has posted this video on his social media page 💀

[ALBAN @albanselami]

@ALBwonk Revolucionet zakonisht përfundojnë keq, shoku. Më mirë ta quajmë evolucion. :)

Question for parents (and anyone who's bought kids' clothes as a gift):

If a kids' t-shirt design is available in Baby, Toddler, Youth sizes, would you prefer:

A) One product page with all sizes (6M–YXL)
B) Two product pages (Baby/Toddler & Youth)

What feels most intuitive?

[ALBAN @albanselami]

They attack you because you, like the corrupt political class, have lost credibility. You were among the first to fly from the US to back Berisha after he was declared non grata. You even attacked the US Embassy. Now you defend Trump/Kushner because it suits your interests.

[Evi @evikokalari]

Very interesting... there's a psy-op going on, using the protests in Albania to attack President Trump, the Jews, and Israel.

These people are not even Albanians, yet they are attacking me, despite the fact that I have been deeply involved in Albanian politics over the past four years, precisely because I saw firsthand how deeply corrupt the entire system is.

[ALBAN @albanselami]

Every time I open X, everyone is talking about Albania. Proud of my people <3

[ALBAN @albanselami]

Evi, stop oversimplifying the issue with selective framing. Albanians aren’t stupid. We already know our political class is corrupt. What you keep ignoring is that some of your favorite billionaires are just as willing to work with that corruption when it benefits them.

[Evi @evikokalari]

Anyone claiming these protests are about Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump is completely missing the point.

The protests are about the deeply corrupt Albanian government, which has been held hostage for years by two entrenched political figures: Edi Rama (Prime Minister) and Sali Berisha (Leader of the Opposition).

Suggesting otherwise does a serious disservice to Albania and its people.

[ALBAN @albanselami]

Sa pashë flamurin e BE-së dhe të Ukrainës ngjitur me emrin, e kuptova që kemi të bëjmë me një zhurmues OJQ-sh. Kjo protestë s'ka lidhje fare me fenë. Ka lidhje me njerëz që ndihen të papërfaqësuar dhe me vendime që merren mbi kokat e tyre nga kapitali ndërkombëtar.

[Juxhin Çela 🇪🇺🇺🇦 @JuxhinCelaEU]

What means to be Albanian?

Not to discriminate people based on their religion!

This is our cultural heritage.

[ALBAN @albanselami]

For me, this experience reflects a broader problem of powerful individuals using their influence to silence smaller businesses and independent voices. That is one of the reasons I have chosen to speak out and protest.

[ALBAN @albanselami]

One of the reasons I am protesting is because of the mafia-style culture that Noizy represents in Albania.

[kos_data @kos_data]

🇦🇱 Albania's top rapper Noizy reacted angrily to the protests.

"You've annoyed the hell out of us" he wrote.

Noizy said he will not join the protests and supports the Kushner-Trump investment project.

[ALBAN @albanselami]

His lawyers filed complaints that resulted in all of my business social media accounts being taken down without any warning. As a result, we lost our audience, followers, and years of work building our online presence.

[ALBAN @albanselami]

No we are not.
