“SpaceX should not come here at all. Leave us alone.” Governor Jeff Landry confirmed on Tuesday plans for “Starbase Louisiana,” a $100-billion SpaceX launch facility near Louisiana's Pecan Island. "Gator Queen" Liz Choate, former star of "Swamp People," told BT News she and her neighbors have been shut out and kept in the dark about the plans. Elon Musk recently announced a partnership with Nvidia to develop orbital space-based data centers, leading to speculation that the more than 130,000 acres acquired in the Pecan Island land deal could be used for natural gas extraction and solar power infrastructure to support these plans as well. Pecan Island is one of the last undeveloped stretches of Louisiana coastline and is a critical route for migrating birds. It was acquired by the state for SpaceX’s development from Exxon Mobile, which has leased it for public use since the 1950s.

BREAKING: BT’s Zoe Alexandra (Zoe Alexandra) confronted US Ambassador Mike Waltz at the United Nations headquarters on Wednesday, calling out his lie that “there is no blockade” on Cuba – and that the blocking of oil shipments is directly responsible for an escalating humanitarian crisis. While Waltz retorted that the US allowed the arrival of a Russian oil tanker to Cuba, Alexandra immediately countered that the March fuel delivery was only able to supply a small fraction of the country’s energy needs. The ambassador then became visibly frustrated and quickly turned to take another reporter’s question. The encounter followed the UN General Assembly annual vote to end the US blockade on the island nation.

"We will not give him. We will stay here. If the white man wants to come and destroy us that's on him." Hundreds protested in Canaan, north of Port-au-Prince, on Monday against the arrival of more than 2,000 Salvadoran troops sent by President Nayib Bukele to find four Salvadoran aeronautical technicians missing since an October 18 ambush. Two weeks after landing, the Salvadoran military launched its first major operation in the Cul-de-Sac plain, targeting the Chen Mechan and 400 Mawozo gangs — the latter led by Lanmo San Jou, accused in the technicians' disappearance. Community organizers called the operations a "threat against the population" and warned Canaan residents could be put at risk.

"I am not afraid of Russia invading us. To me, that is absolute nonsense." Students across Germany walked out of classes Friday, joining a nationwide school strike against against mandatory military screenings in preparation for war with Russia. In Hamburg, hundreds of students and activists marched through the city carrying placards and banners reading “Russia is not our enemy.” The mobilization there coincided with Red Storm Charlie, a Bundeswehr-led civil-military cooperation exercise hosted in the city this weekend that organizers say is an unnecessary preparation for war. Though German military service remains voluntary for now, new legislation at the start of this year requires all 18-year-old men to complete a questionnaire about their willingness and suitability to serve. Starting next year, men born in 2008 and later will be required to submit to mandatory medical examinations by Germany’s military healthcare system. If recruitment targets are missed, the Bundestag can vote to impose conscription, which it suspended in 2011 but never abolished.
