By now you’ve probably heard of the woman who was fired from the Baltimore Rock Opera Society following complaints that she culturally appropriated her Burning Man cornrows. Well, we got ahold of an internal document one staffer sent to volunteers and it’s an employment lawyer’s dream come true. Excerpts below or hear all about it on next week’s episode of Blocked and Reported (up now for Primos, unlocked Monday) blockedandreported.org/p/epi…

Stop treating the adult population like children and stop allowing adults who behave like despotic toddlers to decree what the rest of us are allowed to watch.

No I will just continue to just listen to music that I like regardless because I am not a crazy person who orders their entire life around a long-running and complex conflict in the Middle East.

FIRE won a huge First Amendment victory today.
And before anyone mischaracterizes it: This ruling does NOT say the government must admit anyone, issue anyone a visa, or grant anyone citizenship.
It says that once a person is lawfully here, the government cannot deport them because they engaged in protected speech.
The government cannot tell a legal immigrant: An American is free to say this, but if you say it, you’re out.
That’s the principle we sued to defend. And today we won.

87 days since the budget and the ASX is at a record high - some one likes what they see
86 days since Budget night.
Still on the front page of @australian and @FinancialReview .
@AlboMP & @JEChalmers ’ illogical, insane new #CGT on Australian businesses is pure economic vandalism.
@AustralianLabor MPs are now openly revolting. Investors and founders are already voting with their feet.
This is what happens when ideology replaces economics.
This must be stopped.
All Australian will not accept it.
The war has just begun.
