Texas may as well be selling its children as it would a state park. Perhaps it has been.

This is Lower Rio Grande Valley land that is preserved in this state park. This is a rare and disappearing ecological system. Apparently MAGA/GOP has as little use for it as it does Somalis.

All of which begs the question: Is there anything sacred or precious to MAGA? Anything they consider beautiful?
