I wanted to take a moment to appreciate the sheer size of Starbase LA. To put it in perspective, I overlayed it on Lafayette, Starbase TX, and Giga Texas. I can assure you these overlays are not exaggerated and are 100 % to scale.

Huge news from @stoke_space! They announced block 2 of their NOVA rocket and it’s scaling very nicely! Great read - https://t.co/CiHgGXvKKQ

Who knew 11 years ago the presidency would come this. A rapist who gets memes posted about him through official channels. So embarrassing.

In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might beware my power... Green Lantern's light!

This is actually pretty cool.

We’re in orbit! And just made European history: This is the first time a privately developed rocket reached orbit from continental Europe; and a testament to the dedication, expertise, and teamwork of everyone involved.

Conservatives need to understand something simple when talking about repealing the 19th Amendment:

You cannot erase women from the political process.

But you absolutely can lose their votes.

Think very carefully about what you’re asking for.

Choose wisely.

“We are going through an energy shock. Ukraine has decided that they want to blow up Russian energy assets. This is creating pressure on prices globally,” – Bessent.

Ukraine has “decided”?
Are you fucking kidding me???

Russia has spent years bombing our power plants, destroying our energy infrastructure, attacking our cities and trying to freeze Ukrainians in winter.

Ukraine didn’t wake up one morning and “decide” it would be fun to attack Russian energy infrastructure.

We are fighting a fucking war of survival because RUSSIA INVADED US.

So sorry about your “energy shock.”

We’re experiencing the slightly bigger inconvenience of trying not to fucking die.

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

In April 2022, a 12-year-old Russian girl named Masha Moskalyova was told in art class to draw a picture supporting russian troops in Ukraine.

Instead, she drew a Ukrainian mother protecting her child as russian missiles flew toward them.

On the Ukrainian flag she wrote, “Glory to Ukraine.” On the russian flag: “No to war. No to Putin.”

Her school reported her to the authorities.

Police began investigating her father, Alexei Moskalyov, a single father who had raised Masha largely on his own. They searched his social media and discovered posts criticizing russia’s invasion and documenting russian atrocities in Bucha.

In December 2022, around a dozen russian security officers raided their home. They ransacked it, seized their computers, phones, and savings.

Alexei later said that during interrogations, officers beat him and slammed his head against the wall and floor. They blasted the russian national anthem at full volume while questioning him.

Eventually, the regime charged him with repeatedly “discrediting” the russian military because of his anti-war social-media posts.

Masha was taken away from him and placed in a state “social rehabilitation” center.

Alexei was sentenced to two years in a penal colony.

He later described horrific conditions there: a tiny punishment cell roughly two meters long, freezing temperatures, rats crawling out of the sewer, and days when he was forced to stand for as long as 16 hours because the bunk was locked against the wall.

Meanwhile, his daughter wrote to him.

“Dad, don’t give up.”

“You are my hero.”

They were separated for more than a year and a half.

On October 15, 2024, Alexei finally walked out of prison.

Masha was waiting for him.

Five days later, they fled russia.

They first escaped to Armenia and applied for a German humanitarian visa. After waiting for more than a year, their case stalled when Germany suspended the relevant humanitarian admission program.

Then France stepped in.

In March 2026, Masha and Alexei received French humanitarian visas and flew to Paris.

And on July 17, 2026, France granted them political asylum.

Today, Masha is drawing again and hopes to pursue art. She also writes and has spoken out in support of russian political prisoners.

When asked whether, knowing everything that happened afterward, she would still have made that drawing, Masha said she would.

“One only lives once.”

One drawing.

A child saying no to war.

And for that, the russian state destroyed their home, separated a father from his daughter, imprisoned him, and drove them both into exile.

This is what dictatorship looks like.

The Optimus factory on the N end of the Giga Texas site continues fast progress with steel assembly, footing and GeoPier work on the S end, truss beam arrivals and perimeter storm water pipe installation. A new TDLR document suggests the finished size will be about 7 million Sq Ft (~450,000 Sq m).

Check out this updated video clip & images from today!

THIS IS SUCH A CUTE LITTLE THING!! 🥹

you can “adopt” a pixel on one of roman’s first images and it gives you a little certificate so you can be a part of the release of the first images in the next few months!!!

@kounwn What is this from?

[Jasmine 🌌🔭 @astro_jaz]

way more people should be excited about roman… hubble-level sharpness but 100x the field of view, billions of galaxies, thousands of exoplanets, dark matter + dark energy!!!! this telescope could usher in a whole new era of astronomy and it launches TOMORROW???

Plato told us that ATLANTIS was destroyed by a flood in a single day and night, and became an impassable barrier of mud…

The horrific flood disaster in Napal has truly illustrated that a catastrophic force of water has the power to erase everything from a civilization.

Meanwhile, virtually every ancient civilization spanning five continents around the world share legends of a great flood that destroyed those before them…because it happened 🌊

We projected the recently released renderings of Starbase, Lousiana, to provide a sense of the sheer scale of the project.
SpaceX's plan depicted consists of ten launch sites, in five pairs. Each pair is about 1.5mi (2.5km) apart.

The production site is over 2km long, and the Starfactory alone has a floor space of over 7.6 million square feet (629,000 sq m). The Gigabay (if, it is still called that!) is over four times the area of the existing Gigabay design.

The whole site measures over 12 miles (20km) in length and takes up an area of roughly 14,000 acres.

Starbase, Lousiana is set to begin construction next year, with the first launch in 2029.

I don’t think we can do a significant moon base or mars settlements without things like universal healthcare and a significantly stronger safety net in 🇺🇸

I know we technically can but I believe societal backlash will be far too great if basic societal needs are not met.

Wowzers! Gov. Jeff Landry to announce Louisiana’s deal with SpaceX to build a multibillion-dollar spaceport.
