Lisa Gets PolitikDonald Trump and Pete Hegseth just deleted the history of the “Go For Broke” 442nd Infantry Regiment from the Army website as they eliminate any mention of race or gender.The 442nd was formed for Japanese-American heroes. They were awarded 21 Medals of Honor, 4,000 Purple Hearts and 4,000 Bronze Stars for as they defeated Nazis, liberating Italy and France and freeing Jewish concentration camp survivors from a Dachau satellite camp. <a href="https://union.place/tags/GoForBroke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoForBroke</a> <a href="https://union.place/tags/DEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DEI</a> <a href="https://union.place/tags/442nd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#442nd</a> <a href="https://union.place/tags/USPOL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USPOL</a>

Their sacrifices and perseverance paved the way for people like me to come here and live a good life. To erase such a significant part of their history - their effort, sacrifice, and legacy - from the Army website is, in my opinion, an act of arrogance and a profound disrespect toward those who fought so hard to help "make America great." <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/USPol" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/JapaneseAmericans" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JapaneseAmericans</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/GoForBroke" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoForBroke</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Nisei" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nisei</a>

Author-ized L.J.I’ve started watching the WWII <a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/movie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#movie</a> <a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/GoForBroke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoForBroke</a>, based on the story of the 442nd composed of Japanese-American soldiers and available on YouTube. And yeah, it’s a war movie about the U.S. Army and I’m sure I’ll be rolling my eyes a lot as things go on, but I’m interested in the tensions of their situation and there are some genuinely clever, fun moments! Spoilers in thread.

seannuhLast up, I've got to bring attention to the 25 year anniversary of Street Fighter Alpha 3. This game put me on a lifelong path of being a Street Fighter diehard. I may not be great at the games, but man do I love the technicality of them. Not to mention the world it drops you into, the characters, the lore, even the music is top notch. I put this soundtrack on regularly.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/onthisday" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#onthisday</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#music</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/videogames" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#videogames</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/streetfigheralpha3" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#streetfigheralpha3</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/goforbroke" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#goforbroke</a>
