This isn’t DEI. It’s history. It’s our history, my daughter’s history.

History of the Nisei ‘Go For Broke’ WWII unit removed from Army website The page's removal comes after President Trump's executive order ending what he called "radical" diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

The history of the glorious #442nd Regimental Combat Team has been erased from the Trump government’s website. But as long as I’m living, I pledge to keep the story of the courage and sacrifice of #Nisei veterans alive. #goforbroke #thethreeyearswimclub

Is this what it's come to?
Removing any reference to heroes that are people of color?

Has anyone here ever played or play the Android/Nisei Netrunner LCG? As an huge fan of Cyberpunk 2020/RED, I’m quite tempted to venture into this new journey. You who have played or played Netrunner, what do you think of the game?
