This is remarkable: @Alexbrowder_ has just been added to Russia’s sanctions list for his work exposing Russian sanctions evasion through their own cryptocurrency. In case anyone doesn’t know Alexander is in high school.

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are taking over protected Albanian land in a $1.4 billion project to build luxury resorts and an Israeli-linked development.

The Albanian prime minister changed the law to make it happen.

Now his house is burning.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

The people of Albania are not messing around and are not going to allow their country to be sold off to Israel, Ivanka Trump, or Jared Kushner. This is what class consciousness looks like, and it is a beautiful thing!

🚨 stop scrolling.. do you understand what a frozen bank account actually does to a $4 billion resort project..

because most people are watching the protest footage and missing the math..

Albania Land Development — the Qatari-owned company that holds the coastal land Affinity Partners needs to build — had its bank accounts seized by SPAK on June 2, 2026..

no bank accounts means no transactions..

no transactions means no construction financing can move.. not $1 billion.. not $100 million.. not a single wire..

you don't freeze the land vehicle for an environmental complaint.. you freeze it when prosecutors believe the underlying property titles are fraudulent and you're afraid the money moves before you can stop it..

and here's the part nobody's connecting..

the 2024 land reclassifications that made this project legally possible are now the subject of a criminal investigation.. the titles are under fraud review.. the bank accounts are frozen.. and the probe opened and the freeze landed within 24 hours of each other..

that's not a slow regulatory process.. that's prosecutors running..

Kushner announced this deal in August 2024.. visited the site with Ivanka in early 2026.. called it a vision for the Albanian coast..

the Senate was already scrutinizing Affinity's foreign deals before any of this..

a frozen land company with allegedly fraudulent titles and a widening criminal probe is not a permitting delay..

it's the structural end of the project as currently built.

I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

🚨🇦🇱 JUST IN: Over 100,000 Albanians shut down the capital in furious protests.

Trump and Kushner are selling off the Albanian coastline to Jewish billionaires and Israeli military projects.

The south of the country is being handed over to foreign control.

Doug Ford has racked up the largest subnational debt in the world. No province, state or small country has as much debt as Ford. Ontario's net debt is projected to surpass half a trillion dollars, sitting at around $507.1 billion and he goes off on vacation for five months?

Ford has doubled Ontario’s debt in less than 8 years.

Record food bank usage & homelessness, record ER wait times, record number of Ontarians without a doctor, record debt loads at Ontario universities & hospitals…

We have nothing to show for Ford’s wasteful spending.

Burning question for 16 million Ontarians. HOW do we get rid of Doug Ford NOW?

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

#ONStorm #ONwx 🔥 Wildfire Risk Increasing Across Southern Ontario with Widespread High to Extreme Danger Expected Thursday

Heads up! While we’ve been enjoying a stretch of warm, sunny and dry weather, those same conditions are causing wildfire danger to steadily increase across much of Southern Ontario.

Over the past few days, wildfire danger ratings have already climbed into the “high” category in many areas. By Thursday, the Canadian Wildland Fire Information System (CWFIS) is forecasting widespread “extreme” wildfire danger across Southern Ontario.

An extreme wildfire danger rating means fires can start very easily, spread rapidly, and become difficult to control. Even a small spark from a campfire, cigarette, ATV, trailer chain dragging on pavement, or outdoor equipment can quickly ignite dry grass and brush.

If you’re planning any outdoor burning, be sure to check with your local municipality first. Fire bans and burn restrictions may already be in place, or could be issued as conditions continue to worsen.

You can also help reduce the risk by properly extinguishing campfires, avoiding the use of fireworks where permitted, disposing of smoking materials safely, and keeping vehicles off dry grass whenever possible.

The good news is that slightly cooler temperatures and the chance of more widespread rainfall this weekend should help lower the wildfire danger, at least temporarily. However, current forecasts suggest next week may trend fairly dry again after the weekend rain, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see the wildfire risk climb once more.

Stay safe and be extra cautious with any activity that could create a spark. 🔥

Premier Ford, elbows up. Stand by your words and tell JP Morgan, and their lobbyists, that Toronto's waterfront isn't for sale.

While I'm at it, here's the truth: Without even sharing a business model or plan, your government is barreling ahead with legislation to bring jets to our lakefront, expropriate Toronto's park lands and sideline the voices of our residents.

If you're not consulting with the public, or working with Toronto as a partner, who has your ear?
