    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.

    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.

      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.

        Then drop it. Trump is gonna do whatever they want regardless, kowtowing is just going to embolden them.

            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.
