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 sheer amount of my taxpayer dollars that will go into lawsuit settlements over the next 20 years is infuriating
Why do you think any lawsuits for any of these things would actually get anywhere at this point?
The repercussions of this administration will be going on for decades
Class fucking act. Man I get the problems folks had with Obama but class, dignity, just fucking cool. I yearn for those times.
Ain’t nothing classy or dignified about drone bombing kids at a wedding.
Obama had great P.R.
That’s a fun ratio of votes. Do people not know about the wedding drone strike or is it just that he’s polite and people don’t want to say anything bad about him? He also ordered a strike that killed a sixteen year old citizen.
Was he better than trump? Yes. That doesn’t mean he’s beyond reproach.
Obama was another shitty corporate president with a cabinet picked by Goldman Sachs. Anything seems better, compared to Trump, but his inaction on the economy to help the working class is why Trump followed and not another Democrat.
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.
Given their recent demand that NASA remove information about “women in leadership”, it paints a pretty clear picture of why she was fired. Nothing to do with capability, competence, or any issues with her command.
Margaret fucking Hamilton, got us to the moon.
