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.

    ITT, and every thread about Trump, : ‘Fight guys! I’ll sit here with my tendies and watch how it goes. “They’ve picked the wrong fight!” and all that, carry on!’

    When you’re asking yourselves how the Germans let Nazis happen, remember: if you haven’t shot a fascist yet, you’re one of the Germans that let Nazis happen. Stop calling for other people to fight, you fucking cowards. Go fight for yourselves.

    Edit: for what it’s worth, I’m American and will not be flying across the country to throw my life away.

        I’m going to avoid calling you insults in this first response.

        I’m very clearly stating that I’m unwilling to fight, and you won’t see a single comment suggesting otherwise on my profile. I dislike people who cry war from their comfy battlestations at home. If you can’t fight, for disability reasons or whatever you can help without calling for others to fight for you. Otherwise you’re just a coward who’s making things worse.

        That’s great, if you feel the need to fight for yourself then do so. If I didn’t have people who rely on me, I’d probably be dropping everything to do so.

        I can’t. I’ll help how I can, I’ll try to make the world a better place. I cannot simply drop everything and fight, my mom needs to eat.
