My first thought: how many of these "calming areas" are there? Because every single one of the motherf***ers who had anything to do with this belongs in one.

Headline: Alligator Alcatraz detainees were put in small cages, DHS watchdog report finds
Text: The Florida facility’s staff referred to the enclosures as “calming areas.” Investigators said their use at the immigration detention center violated federal standards and did not align with 'standards for humane treatment.'”

It’s fun watching voices who attacked anyone who even expressed difficulty voting because they didn’t want to support genocide turn around and encourage people not to vote because they might lose a primary. Hopefully this vote blue no matter who nonsense has been exposed at this point.
