Trump fired Linda Fagan, the first female Coast Guard commandant, on his second day in office. A Trump official told her she had three hours to leave her house on Tuesday.

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.

    The left needs to learn how to “Speak softly and carry a big stick.”

    Speaking softly alone gets you fucking nowhere. This is why the far right gains so much ground. They know the DNC and the apparatus of the left is toothless. All they do is browbeat.

    Get.some.fucking.teeth.

    If the DNC cannot bite back, it needs to die or else ethnic cleansing and genocide is inevitable in this country.

      The little person, too, needs to learn to just say no. Make them push it farther. Fight back and get pyrrhic victories.

      I’m guessing this was on a military base, so the usual eviction shit doesn’t apply, but remember that in civilian life, until law enforcement shows up with a court order in hand, anyone removing you from your house is breaking criminal law.
