Are you telling me minors raised by muggles don't have a right to an attorney or a hearing before being expelled from Hogwarts? Did they at least seal his record after Chamber of Secrets? That's this week @SidebarCNS

the trial cancelled, the settlement old news & I can still smell the smoke that lingered weeks after. I can still see the FEMA line, the trampolines & lawn chairs stripped into sticks next to houses that looked like models for a new neighborhood, knowing anywhere could be next.

Sprawling? It's like the developers who gave us the infinite scroll on Twitter had dinner with the judges

@amandalitagent we are all finite

It is with an incredibly heavy heart that I make this post. I am, sadly, leaving agenting. I loved every single moment of being an agent. I loved my clients. I loved their books. I loved meeting and connecting with other industry professionals and all of the friends I've made

@KarenFOrlando @CourthouseNews The broader cultural debate did not play out in court like that. If it helps, here is the original complaint: courthousenews.com/wp-content/upl… and Judge Kane's order: courthousenews.com/wp-content/upl…

@CourthouseNews @Bright_lamp Hard to believe how deranged this discussion and decision is. It's about gender identity ideology and sexuality propaganda in preschools. How do reporters report on this without having their minds blown?

@rowanfornow "expecting"🧐

so am i crazy or does this make sense? like a lot of people are going to inherit paid off property in whole or in part and that's worth a ton

@Sean_J_Fitz @crowjonah Me neither. I'd rather spend my time writing.

@crowjonah Do u still submit? I haven’t in a long time

happy 2 year anniversary to the last time I used submittable as a submitter

The U.S. Supreme Court is about to come back for a new term - but it didn't take much of a summer break. I got to catch up with @KelseyReichmann to talk about the shadow docket and Calvinball jurisprudence @SidebarCNS

The shadow docket has kept the Supreme Court busy this summer, due mostly to emergency appeals from the federal government. But as @KelseyReichmann reports, it’s not just the number of appeals that’s astonishing. New @SidebarCNS episode drops 9/30: open.spotify.com/show/0hP2TEY3R…

@KelseyReichmann @CourthouseNews Let me guess... emergency docket strikes again?

BREAKING: Supreme Court lets Trump unilaterally freeze billions in congressionally appropriated foreign aid money apparent 6-3 vote with liberals in dissent @CourthouseNews

Perfect song popped on the radio: "I'm singing this song about loving all the people that you've come to hate."

With 61 recorded mass shootings claiming the lives of 82 people over the last decade, Colorado Democrats have aimed to limit access to the weapons used in such attacks. @Bright_lamp courthousenews.com/gun-rights-gro…

I really enjoyed getting to talk to Jon about all the different kinds of treasure in the world

@psohaistt Thanks for listening! I'll look into it. Great parts always get cut from every interview.

@Bright_lamp This was a fun one as someone who dabbled in the Fenn hunt and now Jon Collins-Black's hunt. You should definitely consider releasing the uncut interview with Jon in some form -- I think the treasure hunting community would be very interested in it!

X marks the spot

Gwendolyn Lockman talked to @Bright_lamp about how elites used access to a now-defunct park known as Columbia Gardens to limit vices and make the local community look good. Sidebar by @CourthouseNews on the history and future of public lands: open.spotify.com/episode/55E5iS…

Tell me your favorite not-so-secret wild place, and I'll share a few of mine @SidebarCNS podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nat…

Growing up on the cheap, I learned to love things thing were "free," making parks and public lands our go to places. In the latest @SidebarCNS we venture into the politics driving expansion and contraction of public wilds, and what it takes to keep the free in freedom
