He's talked about forcing people with "mental issues" into "wellness centers" where they "go outside and garden."

Read: send them to fucking work camps.

Well, someone's gotta harvest the crops now that all the migrants are in the El Salvadoran gulag.

Would having an actual brain worm count as "mental issues?"

That poor thing has long died from malnourishment.

The thought of Kanye and Elon in a work camp, though....

It sounds like he was advocating for creating drug addiction treatment facilities.

What's True:

Kennedy said he would create rehabilitation wellness farms where people with drug-related issues (including with psychiatric drugs) can go for a program of rehabilitation that would include job training and growing organic food for their own consumption.

What's False:

However, contrary to how some people interpreted his words, Kennedy did not say or imply anyone would be "sent" to such locations against their will.

"I'm going to create remotely located work camps and starve people there if they can't grow 'organic food', but they'll be voluntary! Promise!"

"There's an epidemic of autism, but I'm not going to force a 'cure' on anybody! Promise!"

Like, he hasn't said it explicitly yet, but it's a pretty obvious next step if he's ever so inclined, and it's not like this administration would stop him

This is the same regime that's trying to define gay and trans people as mentally ill. The fascist intentions are clear. Their policies don't deserve a charitable reading.
