What exactly is the distinction between “weakest against Trump” and “had worse polling margins against Trump?” If you specifically want to dial in on the ‘likely to lose’ claim that isn’t what you were asking for in the comment I replied to.

Bernie consistently had better projected general election margins during the primary. https://web.archive.org/web/20160217041242/http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/2016_presidential_race.html
Because it’s a lot less straight forward than that and this guy is a crank with a history of intimidation against other Lakota people.

Also this legal fund is for a hearing that happened a year ago so don’t donate to it.
He got the recordings, he also wanted control of the copyright for those recordings. This would have prevented LLC from even continuing to publish their Lakota dictionary and other language materials. https://www.npr.org/transcripts/1197956092
I was going on a lot of different things but NPR did a good piece on it https://www.npr.org/transcripts/1197956092
Also here’s a telling of Ray Taken Alive making a scene at a conference presentation and trying to intimidate a Lakota woman and interrupt her presentation which I can only assume was the breaking point for LLC since it happened 2 months before they sent their cease and desist. https://lastrealindians.com/news/2023/10/25/rl1qqmxm3cpcvoe8k9vsiv06gxibns
There’s no lawsuit. LLC believed he was using his position at a school district as part of a defamation campaign against them so they issued a complaint and he had to defend his teaching license. This happened a year ago and he never turned off the fundraiser.
*he kept his teaching license but was found to have violated the code of professional ethics https://www.prweb.com/releases/bochetto-amp-lentz-p-c-professional-teachers-practices-and-standards-commission-finds-eugene-ray-taken-alive-jr-violated-code-of-professional-ethics-870961036.html
The guy who mocked a C&D asking him to stop provably lying about a nonprofit and then begging for money online is ridiculous.
Further evidence this guy sucks https://lastrealindians.com/news/2023/10/25/rl1qqmxm3cpcvoe8k9vsiv06gxibns
Not really no. A lot of work goes into observing how words are used and writing definitions that describe those uses. Someone has to actually write the definitions and their writings are copyrightable.
They don’t own the rights to describing a word, they do own how they described a word.
Granted the tribe should have gotten some free copies for their participation.
They did. The LLC distributed over a million dollar’s worth of material for free and also the elders that worked with the LLC were directly paid for their time.
You will never convince me there is any excuse for declaring somebody’s language my intellectual property is a justifiable thing on any level.
Nobody did that. Do you think Merriam Webster is copyrighting the English language by publishing a dictionary? Do you think they don’t hold the copyright to their dictionary?
“My grandmother was paid to recite material, it’s literally theft of my heritage that I, her grandchild, do not own the distribution rights to that specific recording”
If they were trying to copyright the stories or the language that would be one thing but it’s just their recordings and material they’ve produced. He probably shouldn’t have used his position at the school as part of his slander campaign if he didn’t want to risk losing it. If there was no professional misconduct then his licensure isn’t at much risk.
All he had to do to avoid consequences was not double down on saying “a non-profit paying someone to talk into a microphone is literally theft in a criminal sense”. If he wants to ignore a reasonable cease and desist so he can continue to lie about a nonprofit he should pay his own legal fees about it.
“No matter how it was collected, where it was collected, when it was collected, our language belongs to us. Our stories belong to us. Our songs belong to us,” Taken Alive,
Ok sure you can say that but when somebody receives payment in exchange for being recorded reciting a story signs over the rights to the recording you, the grandchild of the person who actually did the performance for the recording, do not own the rights to that recording.
If you actually read the SDDE complaint (link from the fundraiser) or the C&D they’re pretty damning. This guy sucks, don’t give him money.
*You should especially not give him money because this legal fund is for a hearing that happened a year ago and he never turned off the fundraiser lol
That’s what the majority of (sedans masquerading as) trucks are used for anyway.
It’s never too late to do reconstruction.

The actual fine is total revenue + 100k(roughly another 10%). That seems pitifully low for knowingly and intentionally lying about something people trust their lives to.
The rotating to an earlier shift is even more insane. Maybe I’m wrong but I imagine almost everyone finds it easier to push through and stay up later than try to go to sleep 7 hours early.
To his credit SpaceX was at least a correct recognition that the dominant space launch companies were just a cartel milking federal funding for as much as possible. That sector is so stagnant that ULA still hasn’t blinked at the massive success of first stage reusability.
The noise pollution of about 2-5 motorcycles, literally as I was reading the post title. I hate this town.
Oh yeah, of course, people are opposed to genocide because it’s a psyop. Let me guess, Russia is behind it too.
