From the "You Can't Make This Shit Up" department comes the revelation that the company hired by Trump to suppress the algae in the Washingtin, DC, reflecting pool is named, "Greenwater Services."
Yes, it's owned by a trust controlled by a Trump crony.
Yes, that crony has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Trump, and is a neighbor of Trump's
Yes, it was hired with a no-bid contract.
Yes, its algae solution is stripping the $17-million new no-bid paint job from the bottom of the pool.
The thing this pool is reflecting best is the corruption of the Trump regime.
This could only be more perfect if there were a Jeffrey Epstein connection.

A quotation from Andrew Oliver

Politics is the most hazardous of all professions. There is not another in which a man can hope to do so much good to his fellow creatures; neither is there any in which by a mere loss of nerve he may do such widespread harm. Nor is there another in which he may so easily lose his own soul; nor is there another in which a positive and strict veracity is so difficult. But danger is the inseparable companion of honor. With all the temptations and degradations that beset it, politics is still the noblest career any man can choose.

Andrew Oliver (1706-1774) American Colonial merchant, politician, government official
Speech (1774?)

Some needed context: When they say "uninhabited island", it is uninhabited because the Albanian military had domain over it, not because no Albanians want to live there.

Good that they're talking to someone from Citizens.al Most of the English language EU and North American media coverage of this uses the same footage, so the real difference is who they talk to additionally. This is one of the best ones to watch because they're talking to someone who's good at giving the context.

"The original trigger was local and visual: barbed-wire fences, private security forces and images of a protester being dragged away from the Zvërnec area. But the reaction quickly became national. For many Albanians, the episode touched older memories of exclusion, state arrogance and closed decision-making. It also revived current concerns over how public land, protected areas and strategic investments are managed in a country where corruption, political polarization and the influence of narrow economic interests remain persistent issues."

Albanian media is mostly captured by oligarchs so one way supporters outside Albania can help is by watching & liking outside media coverage of protests (and any good analysis thereof) so world media is incentivized to keep covering this. Albania does not usually get covered by outside media.

Live.

There are a number of different chants that repeat, but one of the easiest ones to recognize is "Rama n' burg, Berisha n'burg". Roughly, it's "Rama to jail, Berisha to jail "Rama is current PM and Berisha is the previous PM. They are from opposite main parties. The chant points out that this protest is not a party protest - all corruption must go.
