Hi everyone,
Not my usual content but I thought I’d try and bring some awareness to an important environmental issue.
The Vjosa-Narta Lagoon is home to thousands of migratory birds like the Dalmatian Pelican and Flamingo, while they journey between Europe and Africa. This region of wetlands Albania is one of the very few undisturbed areas left in the entire Mediterranean. It’s now being threatened by foreign investors (such as Jared Kushner…..) looking to build luxury resorts, villas and even an airport on what was supposed to be protected land. These developments seem to have been rammed through with little to no public input or environmental impact assessments.
The people of Albania are protesting as well as they can, but they could use your help spreading awareness. The more eyes and public pressure we get on the situation the better.

The $1.6 billion resort is being led by Kushner's investment firm on an island off Albania and an undeveloped stretch of coastline.
TIRANA, June 3 (Reuters) - Thousands of Albanians took to the streets of Tirana on Tuesday night protesting against a development planned by a company linked with Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner on an environmentally sensitive part of the Adriatic coast.
The €1.4 billion ($1.6 billion) resort is being led by Kushner’s investment firm Affinity Partners on an island off Albania and an undeveloped stretch of coastline near the Vjosa-Narta protected landscape, a wetland home to flamingos, seals and sea turtle nesting sites.
Environmentalists oppose the plan, which they say would impact several hundred hectares of pristine beaches.

That feeling when Israel is buying up land and property in both of my countries 🥲.
Greece and Cyprus have been stated to be a target for Israeli "investors" and settlers, as a part of the EU it is a safe retreat from counterstrikes onto Israel from the countries it bombs. About 60% of all land and property purchases from foreigners in Greece are done by Israelis.
And on top of that recently massive amounts of public land/beaches in Vlore was sold to Israel by Albanian president Edi Rama. Barbwire fences have been put up around the beaches and land and have been closed down to the public, including one of the very few islands that Albania has.
Said island also has one of the last deltas in Europe, which is considered a reserve due to its importance for the local environment/ecosystem. And development on it has already begun, without announcement. Many trees on the fenced out land have been cut. Locals aren't allowed to go past the fence, many of whom also own property behind it and are being cut off of their land.
There has been protests, the fences were taken down once but they were reinstalled and are now being patrolled by Albania's own police.
Edit: it turns out I was wrong about a few things, first, the Israeli investors in Greece account for 40-50% of foreign land purchases, with the highest estimate I could find saying 57%
And the island of Sazan is not infact being sold, but it is unfortunately still being developed
Protest Chant: "Albania belongs to Albanians! Albania is not for sale!" Plans for luxury resorts on the Adriatic Sea have long worried environmentalists. The developments are now a flashpoint for broader frustrations with the government.
Man Dragged During Protest Against Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump Resort Plan: A man was dragged along the beach by security personnel in Albania after arriving to protest the construction of a luxury development linked to US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. The scene in Zvernec on Saturday, May 30, sparked outrage, leading to two days of demonstrations in the country’s capital, Tirana.
Protests have grown in recent days against plans by Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, to develop luxury properties on an ecologically sensitive portion of the Albanian coast.
The protests, in the capital and in coastal towns, have become a lightning rod for widespread discontent in Albania, long one of Europe’s poorest countries. Another protest was planned for Tuesday night in Tirana, the capital.
For years, the plans — a $1.4 billion luxury hotel complex on an island off the coast and another development on a peninsula that is home to sensitive wetlands — have generated concerns about conservation and transparency.
Prime Minister Edi Rama of Albania has repeatedly described the projects as a chance to expand the country’s booming tourist economy and to attract foreign investors.
On Tuesday, Mr. Rama said in a post on social media that the projects represented “the ambition to create the most attractive destination of this side of the Mediterranean.”
He has rejected suggestions by opponents of the plan that Mr. Kushner, who is one of several investors in the project, received preferential treatment to curry favor with his father-in-law, Mr. Trump.
The White House referred questions to Mr. Kushner’s investment firm, Affinity Partners, which has been backed mostly with funding from the Saudi Arabian government. Affinity Partners referred questions to Sazan Real Estate Development LLC, the developer for both the Albanian projects.
“We’re excited about the opportunity to create a world-class destination and make one of the largest private investments in the region’s history,” Asher Abehsera, the chairman of Sazan, the projects’ developer, said in a statement.
He said their focus included “responsible stewardship” of the environment.
Not everyone in Albania agrees.
Taulant Bino, the head of the Albanian Ornithological Society and an opponent of the plan, said he was heartened that the opposition to the project had grown beyond environmental campaigners.
It’s more or less everything there,” he said. “You find people from the left, people from the right, people from different religious beliefs.”
One issue, he said, is that no environmental impact report has been released publicly, as normally required for such a development project. Since late April, Mr. Bino said, demonstrators have gathered at the site of one of the planned developments on the Zvernec Peninsula, a 1,000-acre coastal area that is home to an array of birds, including flamingos and pelicans.
The protests started after he and other environmentalists noticed what looked like the start of construction, which he said included the tracks of heavy equipment and bulldozers dismantling sand dunes.
Mr. Bino said that in the past few days, the protests intensified after fencing, with barbed wire, was erected in the area. He said there is at least one access road, too.
And on Saturday, verified video shows, the disputes turned ugly.
Men shouted across barbed wire fences. Two men dragged another man across the sand by his arms, another clip shows, while people slung what looked like dirt at each other.
Mr. Bino and other protesters see the project as an emblem of what they fear could be democratic backsliding in Albania, which emerged from decades of Communist rule in 1991.
“It’s not only transparency about environmental law — but it’s transparency in general,” Mr. Bino said.
It’s about democracy,” Mr. Bino added. “The protests are, of course, centered around protected areas — but it’s more about democracy in general.”
For years, locals have raised concerns about the ownership chain of the land, but deals have steamed ahead, overriding local frustrations.
In December 2024, after months of consternation, Albania gave preliminary approval to a plan proposed by Mr. Kushner to build on the uninhabited island of Sazan, once a secretive military base for submarines.
The Zvernec site would include 6,000 hotel rooms and villas if plans come to fruition.
Albanian environmentalists fear similar projects could follow. Mr. Bino, the conservationist, said people were worried that the plans could set a precedent in other environmentally sensitive areas.
“This project is becoming a sort of catalyst,” he said of the Zvernec site, adding that others were just “waiting in the wings” for approval.

Pop singer-songwriter Eli rightfully calls out Taylor Swift for stealing the rights and royalties of "deja vu" by Olivia Rodrigo
Finally someone with the guts to say it Taylor built her empire on 'inspiration' from everyone else but god forbid a new girl gets a No.1 without her name on the credits. The industry is scared to speak on it but we see you
Ooooh damn
“Fly in her private jet to the other side of her bed to get her phone charger so she can finish watching a TikTok about herself.” Damn 💀💀💀
Found this comment on reddit:
"IMPORTANT TO KNOW: this all started because Eli made a harmless joke in her live by saying "Taylor Swift you will never be trans" and Swiftzis started being transphobic and evil to her right on cue.
Swifties have reached new heights with their Olivia Rodrigo psychosis
So ever since Olivia started her new album rollout, the swifties have been crashing out and looking for reasons to cancel her.
This week, they’re accusing Olivia of “ageplaying” and “promoting pedophilia” because she apparently wore a babydoll dress.
The fact that it’s a bunch of fans of Taylor Fucking Swift making these accusations is just crazy, because, their idol literally dated a 17 year old boy when she was 22. They have much bigger fucking fish to fry, yet they want to talk about a dress Olivia wore.
It’s funny because I’ve seen Sabrina Carpenter wearing very similar dresses and the swifties have never taken an issue with it. Probably because she’s considered a “taydaughter” and therefore can do no wrong (as long as she continues to ass kiss and worship Taylor). But when Olivia wears a dress like that, oh no, she needs to be jailed!!
Some of them are even trying to spin it and say that it’s OK for Sabrina to wear babydoll dresses because she doesn’t look like a child in them. Yeah, it’s not like she said “I’m full grown but I look like a NIÑA, come put something big in my pussita” Or asked a 16 year old fan if they were feeling horny. Or did Lolita-Inspired photo shoots that mimicked scenes straight out of the Lolita movie. All of that can be ignored, because Sabrina is a white blonde blue eyed woman AND a “Taydaughter” so she gets a pass to do whatever she wants while Olivia gets demonized over a stupid goddamn dress.
But it gets worse.
A journalist at the Rolling Stone (the same publication that gave Taylor’s album The Life of a Shit Girl a perfect score, mind you) wrote an article defending Olivia’s fashion choices, and apparently called out the swifties, saying Taylor has worn babydoll dresses too.
And the swifties have LOST THEIR FUCKING SHIT.
They’ve been tweeting at the rolling stone accusing them of slandering Taylor (over some discourse that THEY started, by the way), writing open letters demanding that the rolling stone apologize to Taylor, AND they’ve accused Olivia Rodrigo of PAYING MEDIA OUTLETS to write articles defending her.
Well isn’t that some good old fashioned PROJECTION from swifties. 🤡
Oh yeah, and the swifties have also been harassing, tormenting, and threatening journalists, trying to bully them into silence, like the fucking FASCISTS that they are.
I'm a UX Designer and this Wi$h Li$t contract has some of the darkest pattern I've ever seen. I hope this is what ends her. I'm so, so, so disgusted.
You're supposed to think this is a normal wish list you make to give to your family and friends. Just in time for the holidays. Cute and harmless. Oh, maybe Taylor will even send you something herself. She's done it before, right?!
"Create your holiday WI$H LI$T of your favorite products..." Okay, sure. Sounds good.
Oh. Okay. Some tiny text in a tiny frame. You don't need to read that. That's fine. Just put your name and click 'Continue'. Cool, the button works even if you didn't read all that!
Uh oh. You just gave up all your rights. If Taylor Swift and anyone she works with want to make a deep fake of you, they legally can.
You'll never even know they did that. :)) Cool, cool.
And if you die while doing anything related to Taylor Swift, (like going to her concert...) nobody can do anything about it. Yeah, that's great. :)))
Huh. Where is this wish list now that you thought you were making??
Edit because some people take issue with the last part: I have been in courts myself and experienced first hand how lawyers can twist things in ways that suit them. So in my understanding the phrase, "in any related activity," would include things like going to her concert. If you read it differently, that's fine. But there's no need to act like I'm maliciously making things up when I have many years of experience reading legal texts and genuinely understand it this way.
Something about the "Taylor Swift is the only ethical billionaire because she made her money only with her music!" doesn't sit right with me because even if that was true, why aren't all the people who also worked on her music billionaires too? Her producers, band, backup dancers, choreographers, directors, co-writers, etc etc etc. Taylor Swift does not work alone and yet the pay grades are so vastly different?
