New protests over Ivanka Trump & Jared Kushner’s plans for a luxury resort on an Albanian Island. Forbes’ @DanAlexander21 estimates how much money the couple could stand to gain.
I was sobbing in the ugliest way possible. This is not just a song it’s a pain Albanian mothers have carried for centuries watching their children leave home and a heartbreak shared by Albanians living away from their motherland and families.

On this day 11 years ago the United States officially broke ground on the new U.S. Embassy compound in Pristina. Kosovo has one of the most modern state-of-the-art U.S. embassy buildings in the world – a symbol of diplomatic partnership and cooperation between our two countries. The innovative and secure building design involved many local workers and architects in its construction process. #Freedom250 #AmericanExcellence #KosovoJourneyToFreedom🇽🇰🇺🇸
Ky djalosh u jep përgjigjen të gjithëve atyre kosovarëve që nuk e kuptojnë se çdo të thotë që të jesh shqiptar, duke mohuar kështu edhe vetë sakrificat e shqiptarëve të Kosovës. 🇦🇱
🇭🇺 Hungarian PM-designate Magyar:
I know exactly what's going on in Serbia.
I know the ties between Orban and Vucic in Serbia, between Orban and Fico in Slovakia, and I know who is the godfather behind all these ties.
The names of the British heroes are below.
I respectfully ask our President @VjosaOsmaniPRKS to award these brave soldiers medals for their heroism in Kosovo. They risked everything to save innocent lives and deserve recognition.
The world needs to know their story, and they should be remembered in our history books. Madam President, please make it possible to honor them. 🇽🇰🇬🇧

Thank you for helping!
Greek historian Maria Euthymiou after studying the Greeks of 1821 found:
In 1821, on the lands that would later be called Greece,
Albanian was spoken. Albanian was written. Albanian was sung.
This is not a myth.
This is not propaganda.
This is history — acknowledged even by Greek scholars such as Maria Euthymiou.
At the dawn of freedom, voices rose in many tongues.
Among them, Shqip echoed in homes, in songs, in prayers, and on the battlefield.
Men and women who fought for liberation spoke Albanian as their mother tongue — not as strangers, but as people of the land.
Back then, identity was not reduced to modern labels.
People were united by faith, honor, and homeland — not erased by language.
To deny this is not patriotism.
It is forgetfulness.
Recognising Albanian presence in 1821 does not diminish anyone.
It restores truth, and truth makes history stronger, not weaker.
Languages fade, borders change —
but memory should never be silenced.
👐 Truth does not need permission.
🕊️ History does not fear honesty.

BBC World:
Albanian folk music has influenced Greek, Turkish, and Bulgarian traditions.
Some cultures shout.
Ours sings.
From the mountains to the valleys, from generation to generation, Albanian voices have carried memory, pain, joy, and survival. Long before borders were drawn, our songs were already alive.
The BBC World Service acknowledges what our elders always knew:
Albanian folk music has influenced Greek, Turkish, and Bulgarian traditions.
This is the sound of people who endured.
Voices that never needed permission to exist.
A music that was preserved when everything else tried to erase us.
🎶 Iso-polyphony is not just music — it is ancestry sung out loud.
Each voice stands alone, yet together they become one soul.
We didn’t borrow our songs.
We carried them.
We protected them.
And today, the world finally listens.
Be proud of who you are.
Be proud of where the song began.

BREAKING: EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS.
Senator Mark Kelly just completely torched Donald Trump:
"When Donald Trump was driving the Taj Mahal casino into bankruptcy, I was getting shot at over Iraq and Kuwait. In 2001, after Donald Trump said that the collapse of the Twin Towers now meant he now owned the tallest skyscraper in Manhattan, I was carrying flags honoring 911 victims into space on a rocket ship. In 2003, when Donald Trump was writing birthday greetings to the monster, Jeffrey Epstein, I was the first on the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts who died when Space Shuttle Columbia exploded during re-entry. In 2011, when Trump was hosting a reality show, and peddling conspiracy theories against President Barack Obama, I was sitting next to my wife’s hospital bed as she recovered from a gunshot wound to the head."
🇽🇰🇩🇪| #Kosova President Vjosa Osmani met with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on the sidelines of the informal EU summit in Copenhagen, Denmark.
#Germany and Chancellor Merz personally are among the closest allies of the Republic of Kosova.
Grateful for the warm meeting with President of Kosovo @VjosaOsmaniPRKS at #EPC. Kosovars know what it means to fight for freedom and dignity.
We discussed support for exiled journalists countering the regime’s propaganda and other initiatives to help Belarusians.
Great to catch up with Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić in Copenhagen. We discussed cooperation between NATO and Serbia 🇷🇸 as well as the importance of accountability for attacks on KFOR and violence in Banjska
The massacres committed by the Greeks against the Albanians are the darkest stain on Greece—on that Greece which many naively call a friend, forgetting history.
Listen to the testimony of a survivor of that massacre, Beqir Ademaj.
