Texas Republicans torched the wall between church and state—ripping up the Constitution to force the Ten Commandments into every public school classroom.
This isn’t faith. It’s authoritarianism dressed as religion.
Schools aren’t pulpits. And fascism is on the march.

Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think.
The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.
