Summary
Trump evicted former Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her military housing with just three hours’ notice, despite an earlier 60-day waiver.
Fagan, the first woman to lead a military branch, was dismissed on Trump’s second day in office over concerns about DEI policies and border security.
Homeland Security officials cited her termination as justification, though sources called it a “petty” move.
Fagan was forced to leave most belongings behind, spending the night with friends while awaiting relocation of her personal items.
I guess her crime was to try to employ more people who weren’t cishet white men. Unforgivable to the fascists in charge. And anyway, they just get off on cruelty because it distracts them from the emptiness inside.
They are the grey shirts. Because they are so fucking empty.

This guy deserves only ridicule for his idiotically simplistic understanding of the world and how to improve it. Yet the fascist techbro billionaires are fawning over him. They’re a bunch of fools who never grew up.

They papered over all the female and black peoples at the NSA Museum too. A bunch of former NSA has to go complain for them to uncover it. They claim it was to “act fast” to keep from being defunded.
Elon would have been arrested in any other circumstance for this behavior. We’re fucked.
