Or, you could take a couple minutes to look at the statistics, which show that these “wilderness camps” perpetrate horrific abuses, and that there is a massive spike in suicide risk, for the kids who attend them Maybe Secretary Brain Worm isn’t the best source of information

Robert F Kennedy Jr. is a fucking idiot with no credentials whatsoever and should be removed. He's about as useful to health as rusty jagged metal.

Oh for goodness sake. The Sinclair method (naltrexone while using to cause opiate extinction, plus therapy) is incredibly effective. Much better than unregulated forced labour on farms - by people who likely have physical health issues.

Any type of residential treatment facility would depend upon the US having a functioning and equitable public health system but Prince Robert The Rotting Mortadella Prodigal Son would know nothing about that.

He wants to put neurodivergent people in work - I’m sorry, WELLNESS - camps too. Because, you know, we just need some discipline. I thought these people were all about keeping the government out of parenting decisions. All I’ve seen from them is them getting all up in families’ private business.

Yes, another form of concentration camp is always dangerous for a fascist regime that concentrates capital with the loss of human lives. bsky.app/profile/npr....

Over half of US homeless are disabled & dying painful deaths in the elements, but retreat centers for addicts is what we need, as if lawmakers care about anything but corporate contracts & bailouts.

When is the last time NPR did a story about Americans with disabilities? With no reports on the shocking number of vulnerable adults dying outside, nobody asks why, nothing changes. NPR would rather do a political hit piece on something that has no impact on Americans: "Look at how stupid RFK is."

Hey so I work at a clinic that helps people struggling with addiction and if we really want to help the overdose crisis we should enact universal healthcare including good mental healthcare, Narcan would be available for free everywhere, and we’d make sure everyone had housing.

Let's be clear. His message was specifically to reparent black children. The overall concept of broad reparenting is wrong- but he fully wrapped it in racism targeted blacks.

Being from an area where there was a native "reeducation center," I'd say that Xtians seem to think they know better for other people's kids. Maybe tend to your own garden first. Your fruit is rotten and it's attracting pests.

Probably more about indoctrinating and "breaking" people who think and act differently, to make the population more compliant/easier to control. It won't work, but it WILL cause incalculable suffering, which is what makes it fun for these fuckers.

I keep thinking it must be some kind of brain virus that they have contracted & there's a medical cure. But if they actually represent a normal (psychopathic) sector of humanity, maybe we are seeing evidence of reaching the end of an ultimately failed evolutionary branch of life on this planet.

From what I can tell, the lesson from psychological investigation of the Nazis was that this can happen in any group of people, given the right material conditions. That said, I think it's important to remember that this stuff doesn't just happen, it's the result of generations of propaganda.

It’s a fact that abstinence-based programs have notoriously high failure rates. And a 12 step program helped RFK Jr. with his drug addiction—not some rural farm where kids usually come back with more problems than they entered with because of the abuse they experienced there.

Let me see if I've got this right: Kick out all the experienced ag workers, wipe out the fertilizer and fuel supply ag needs, then send everyone Kennedy & Co deem to be flawed humans to work on farms. Farmers, this is what Republicans think you're worth. You're interchangeable with anyone to them.

so the pervert in charge of US public health policy is looking to steal American children and traffic them to a remote compound where they would be groomed away from everyone they knew and loved? dang it's killing me, WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS BEFORE?

He wants addiction concentration camps and adolescent "re-education" camps (for black kids) and forced camps for the homeless. They aren't building all those "immigrant holding centers" for immigrants... they are coming for us and our kids next.

Hey @npr.org way to go skipping over the whole “this wealthy self entitled failed up white man with *ZERO* qualifications, expertise or knowledge wants to introduce STATE SPONSORED KIDNAPPING OF AMERICAN CHILDREN”!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬 Americans do *NOT* co-parent with a fascist govt!!

Concentration camps for the undesirable members of a society. We've played this game before about 70, 80 years ago. This whole administration is full of eugenists. We need to change his name. He dishonors his father's legacy. Sickass motherfucker.

Bobby Kennedy, by his own admission has 43 yrs in AA, attends meetings regularly.He was also a needle injecting heroin addict, He knows in an extremely intimate way the journey to long term sobriety. It’s not wellness resorts

RFK Jr also wants to put people in camps and kill staggering amounts of people in LMICs. And oh yea, destroy mRNA technology. A miracle of modern science. But you obsequies turds want to focus on vineyards. You cannot be destroyed soon enough Vichy sycophants.

No. Nope. Absofuckinglutely not. We have licensed professionals that are trained to work with addictions and everything else under the sun, and we need more of them and we need to pay them more. RFKJr is not one of them. I wouldn't let him parent a potted plant.

“Reparenting” and “rehoming”…..these white people are always so worried about the parenting of other children. Much like the native children it’s called assimilation and it’s all they are concerned with

Not only is it dangerous, RFK is a worthless piece of shit who wants to put disabled people in concentration camps. Fuck him. Fuck any ableist bullshit that spews from the wretched sphincter that could be only generously called his mouth.

Also what he was saying about the community in question was mostly wrong about what and who it is for, he is always a self-aggrandizing idiots who has a notion of what he thinks would be good care that is not tied to science or real-world examples, but wants to sound like he isn’t making things up.

He's talking about kidnapping children to send them to labor camps. RFK jr is a monster. He looked at something made for consenting adults recovering from addiction & thinks he can use it to justify snatching children away from their families & sending them to pick crops for corrupt farmers.

Yet further testament to his incompetence, racism, & his lack of qualification. @hhsofficial.bsky.social has been made into a into shameful agency led by fools. Your failures have already led to deaths & this kind of crap is only going to make things worst. Your legacy is one of disgrace & deaths.
