I, for one, welcome the new IED programs. Now I'm curious if there would be anyone that could stop trump from trying to erase any mention of that throughout the government and military.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Yes I've had IED training. Why do you ask?
I’m pretty sure it’s IUD.
Heh improvised uterus device
Sounds like an explosive word choice ( I tried ok! )
The training program is da bomb!
Google is kissing the ring for the new would-be dictators, Trump and Musk. Don’t fall for any lip service to the contrary.
Sounds like weasel words to try to stop the backlash as these companies drop DEI.
Either fully support diversity or don't. Now is the time to stand up against the fascists.
Sounds like "newspeak" to me
Newspeak would be an attempt to prevent any language that hinted at things deemed “bad”. For example, we couldn’t call this “fascism” with Newspeak because the approved language would remove that word completely. Newspeak isn’t just changing how you say things, but preventing unapproved behavior entirely by saying those things don’t exist.
It's do that, or drop it all together.
If they need to newspeak then I say go for it.
Then drop it. Trump is gonna do whatever they want regardless, kowtowing is just going to embolden them.
I don't think you understand that they're pushing against Trump by doing this.
I'm just salty. The fascists are going to take whatever they can. Even renaming it is giving them something. I don't see a point.
Now is the time to stand up for our friends of color.
