Trump administration evicts former Coast Guard leader from her house with 3 hours notice
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.

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.
They call themselves that, let’s adopt it
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.
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.
For those not in the know:
Here, Margaret is shown standing beside listings of the software developed by her and the team she was in charge of, the LM [lunar module] and CM [command module] on-board flight software team.
For those confused and thinking that the Wicked Witch of the West was somehow aging backwards after faking her death and escaping from Oz:
Her crime was being a woman to begin with.

The List of Trump’s Forbidden Words That Will Get Your Paper Flagged at NSF
Great, now science is gonna have to start sounding like people avoiding social media filters.
"In my report, we examine how nonmen and oppomajorities are unscriminated against.."
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.
