WaPo missing the fucking point and painting this as anything but what it is. It’s not AND, it’s OR. It’s not mental health facilities, it’s prison.
Here’s who it could impact:
Anyone with depression (~36% of the U.S.) or who has said something off-color online.
Does your state have a legal weed program? Do they collect data on who purchases? Are they likely to give that data to the feds? Have you told your doctor/will they or their systems tell the feds?
As someone pointed out in a now-deleted post - this comes after Trump has offered Palantir unfettered access to U.S. citizen data. Unless a judge completely kills this, it will be massively abused.
Mental health is a very broad category. They already think trans people are crazy or that gay/bi people are deviants.
It is a very broad category!
Unfortunately, RFK has already indicated a desire to put people on antidepressants and adderall into labor camps.
It’s like the worst version of the improv game “yes, and”
I missed that one. Thank you for sharing it. The fact that they have the "wellness" as a spin is the really fucked up part. So..."Wellness camps" is how they're going to sell the same thing like the "los indeseados" in Cuba. At least Fidel was honest in naming the nonsense he unleashed, I guess.
