EXCUSE ME THE FUCK WHAT

RFK Jr said he wants to send folks who are taking antidepressants and ADHD medications to "wellness farms" in rural America where they will be forced to labor by growing organic food to "cure their addictions."

my wife is like "that's half the country they can't do that" and i'm like "uhhhh"

There wasn't enough room to imprison all cannabis users in the 90s. The point of these ridic policies is to give them excuse to go to after groups be they already don't like. Bipoc, LGBTQ, leftists. Like all laws it won't be applied equally.

... yep

Seems to attempt to alleviate the issue with deporting a shit-load of hard working Americans who worked on the cheap for the promise of a better life.

Cheap slave/prison labour oughta do it.

right? who needs immigrants when we can enslave anyone who's ever taken an ssri?

kwoolsey.bsky.social•8 days ago

A whole bunch of Americans, off their meds, being forced to work.

What could go wrong.

growing plenty for personal use is shockingly easy.

ilonkav.bsky.social•8 days ago

Absolutely, we grow our own and it's legal😉

if cannabis is not federally legalized, it would be illegal to tax it.

but that hasn't stopped this admin from doing anything so far...

rismith.bsky.social•8 days ago

Apparently he didn't think he needed to do that when he was using heroin, though.

that guy! always good for a laugh!

A version of the Khamer Rouge and Mao's attack on the educated. Reminder that Kennedy's second wife was so depressed by his philandering and bullying that she hung herself from the rafters of their barn. Too late to send her to a re-education farm.

My ex husband drove me to nearly kill myself 47 years ago. I took my 6 month old baby son and walked away and never looked back! It's a shame she didn't save herself. Suicide fixes nothing. RFK as a Catholic will spend eternity in Purgatory for what he did...

He was perfectly open about all this before the election, when he campaigned with Trump. Nobody should say they covered anything up, they didn't whatsoever.

jbirdieg.bsky.social•8 days ago

See you there

penguingalaxy.bsky.social•8 days ago

Does that mean “concentration camps”?

crochetcat.bsky.social•8 days ago

The short answer is yes

pinkoteddy.bsky.social•8 days ago

Re fucking parent?

What the fucking fuck. Where’s the Kennedy Curse when you need it?

"Addicted" to antidepressants?

ebtaylorwrites.bsky.social•8 days ago

This is wild. As someone raised on a farm let me list all my relatives who could have benefited from some antidepressants. Also some alcoholics who thrived on liquor and heavy machinery… wasn’t organic enough I guess.

gawdz0rz.bsky.social•8 days ago

i remember hearing about this when he said it

nataliek.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yeah, they reported this months ago. I’m still in shock that he was approved, even though of course it didn’t surprise me.

sonofmrmopps.bsky.social•8 days ago

Notice that RFK has all sorts of crazy ideas about farming, and he's not in charge of the USDA.

lizardbean.bsky.social•8 days ago

Rehab work camps literally already exist? Sad that he's pitching an expansion of that horrendous system as an "overhaul"

fighterbot.bsky.social•8 days ago

Incredible. What an incredible tragedy.

This is a terrible idea. Speaking from experience here, putting a bunch of neurodivergent people of a variety of flavors together, alone…?

Nations will topple. Empires will crumble. Not a single thing on the to do list will get done.

tsushi.bsky.social•8 days ago

I know you're trying to be funny but this would not be those folks alone, it would be forced work camp prisons with prison guards enforcing the labor. It would be cruelty and suffering, violence and punishment enacted whenever people don't do their assigned work.

nocturnal-narrator.com•8 days ago

Oh, I’m aware. I am one of those people. Humor is how some people process things. 🖤 but if that’s not your cup of tea, that’s okay! Whatever gets each of us through these long days 🥰

tsushi.bsky.social•8 days ago

I wish you safety and peace, friend! Sorry to be serious, I have trouble joking lately, and I worry people understand how much impunity prisons have in this country already and think this "couldn't happen" 😭 I hope that this stuff will be something I can joke about when it doesn't feel so real.

nocturnal-narrator.com•8 days ago

No need to apologize! We gotta give each other (including ourselves) some grace. I understand exactly where you’re coming from. I think a lot of us have dealt with so much ignorance that it’s a very natural reaction. I wish you the same!

Or maybe give people healthcare so they afford to get better

jbirdieg.bsky.social•8 days ago

They're saying our healthcare is a bad thing 🤣😭 No more antidepressants or other psychiatric meds. We'll go to slave labor farms to be cured of our "addiction" to them and replace migrant workers

kaynells.bsky.social•8 days ago

Half baked plan to replace all the people they deported to Guantanamo with people on state benefits. Looks like it.

nalathenoodlegator.bsky.social•8 days ago

Someone has zero understanding HOW SSRIs work… 😳😳
