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
They're still barely over half of US GHG emissions per capita. Fine they use more coal per capita, still much better than the US overall.
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?
Half the time its not even unauthorized. "What do you mean this website I uploaded to whose TOS allows them to license out my images licensed out my images??"
I got into photography for a while ages ago when I was in highschool and even back then for my shitty landscape photos I was keenly aware of which hosting services respected my rights as copyright holder, apparently that's too high of a bar to clear for many semi-professional artists. Now the models that did just scrape anything and everything, yeah that's outright copyright theft. And how much you care about copyright theft is something else entirely.
