    Kamala Harris | 2: From Senator to Presidential Nominee

    This episode was recorded before the historic debate between Harris and Trump.  In 2016, Harris set her sights on the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Barbara Boxer.   This was California's first open Senate seat in 24 years. Harris ran a strong campaign, emphasizing her record as Attorney General and her progressive stance on issues like criminal justice reform, immigration, and climate change. She won the election decisively.   Harris quickly made a name for herself in the Senate, particularly through her incisive questioning during committee hearings. One of her most notable moments came during the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.   Support Us: HTTP://ILLREPUTEPODCAST.COM   Credits: Compiled by Sovereign Syre Hosted by Sovereign Syre and Ela Darling Produced by Joshua Anderson   See Sovereign Syre doing stand up comedy live!: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/superhot-comedy-tickets-1000900689907?utm_experiment=test_share_listing&aff=ebdsshios   Sources:   The Truths We Hold by Kamala Harris https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNKxaAtv/ https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNKQ8epQ/ https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNKu284U/ https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNKuUVSV/ https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNKukAcH/q https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNKuhSnK/ https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNKuqjQp/ https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNKuBLrQ/ https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNKuYt4u/ https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNKuDdAm/ https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNKurJ7U/ https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNKu5Jtm/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Jamaicans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton_Brown#cite_note-snopes-17 https://www.snopes.com/collections/the-kamala-harris-collection/

    Juana Maria | Island of the Blue Dolphins

    Hi guys. sovereign accidentally forgot to upload this episode.  This week, Sovereign syre and Ela Darling finish their two part episode about Juana Maria, the last Nicoleno. Today we focus on what happened to her story long after her death when it was reimagined as the popular children's novel Island of the Blue Dolphins.  Since its publication, Island of the Blue Dolphins, a fictionalized telling of the story of a Nicoleno woman abandoned on San Nicolas Island for twenty years, often credited as the last of her tribe, the book has been a staple in American curriculum. The very sanitized story told in the book, featuring a twelve year old girl who learns to survive on her own by finding harmony with the land and animals that surround her, manages to tell the story of the Lone Woman, without telling us anything about her at all. In effect the book serves as colonialist propaganda. And today, we’re going to correct the record.

    Juana Maria | The Lone Woman of San Nicolas

    This week on the podcast Sovereign Syre and Ela Darling discuss Juana Maria, better known to history as the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island. Juana Maria was a Native Californian woman who was the last surviving member of her tribe, the Nicoleño. She lived alone on San Nicolas Island off the coast of Alta California from 1835 until her removal from the island in 1853. Scott O'Dell's award-winning children's novel Island of the Blue Dolphins was inspired by her story. She was the last native speaker of the Nicoleño language.  Support the pod: patreon.com/illrepute More about the pod: http://ILLREPUTEPODCAST.COM Credits: Compiled by Sovereign Syre Hosted by Sovereign Syre and Ela Darling Produced by Joshua Anderson Sources:  https://web.archive.org/web/20131113111647/https://www.afognak.com/media/Afognak%20Alutiiq%20History%20Benefits%2007-22-08_letter.pdf http://www.afognak.org/heritage/history/history-intro.php?src=timeline https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awa%27uq_Massacre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleuts http://newspapers.com https://daily.jstor.org/juana-maria-blue-dolphins/ https://daily.jstor.org/juana-maria-blue-dolphins/ https://www.vcstar.com/story/news/special-reports/outdoors/2016/10/08/researchers-discover-nicoleno-survivors/91732008/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_San_Gabriel_Arc%C3%A1ngel https://www.vcstar.com/story/news/special-reports/outdoors/2018/04/19/researchers-uncover-new-twist-165-year-old-story-lone-woman-life-island/513210002/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Nidever https://lonewoman.ischool.illinois.edu/lonewoman/home/118 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_of_the_Blue_Dolphins https://calmatters.org/commentary/2021/11/im-horrified-after-revisiting-my-favorite-book-from-elementary-school/ https://www.nps.gov/subjects/islandofthebluedolphins/follow.htm https://www.nps.gov/subjects/islandofthebluedolphins/upload/JCGBA_36-1_Morris-etal_final.pdf https://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2016/06/a-critical-look-at-odells-island-of.html https://www.whitehousehistory.org/the-myth-of-the-vanishing-indian

    Lisa Frank | 2 The Rainbow Gulag

    In 2005 Lisa Frank filed for divorce. She filed a second lawsuit to oust James Green from the company. What followed was a protracted legal battle that made the psychodrama that had been taking place at LFI for over a decade, a matter of public record.    The following is from the article The Rainbow Gulag, published on Jezebel.com in 2013 by Tracy Egan Morrissey.:   “[James] really turned that place into a shit hole,” said Justin, who added, “The guy’s kind of dick.”   Support Us: http://patreon.com/illrepute More About Us: http://illreputepodcast.com   Credits: Script: Sovereign Syre Hosts: Sovereign Syre & Josh Anderson Production: Josh Anderson   Sources:   http://newspapers.com https://arainbowinyourcloud.com/blogs/planet-cloudland/our-legal-case-with-mga https://omnilegalgroup.com/blog/lisa-frank-settles-copyright-infringement-suit-over-vibrantly-colored-designs/ https://tucson.com/business/local/tucson-factory-silent-colorful-world-of-lisa-frank-fades/article_9cd1ca94-98e9-50be-89bb-30d3189d55e2.html https://laist.com/news/entertainment/lisa-frank-flat-studio-mucci-controversy-theft-eviction-downtown-los-angeles https://www.bustle.com/entertainment/lisa-frank-forrest-greens-fiercely-private-celebrity-filled-world https://www.jezebel.com/inside-the-rainbow-gulag-the-technicolor-rise-and-fall-1179495705?utm_campaign=socialflow_jezebel_facebook&utm_source=jezebel_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow https://heykatewilliams.squarespace.com/urban-outfitters-lisa-frank https://salesamurai.io/stickers-on-etsy/ https://web.archive.org/web/20150831001100/http://www.foundationsmag.us/features/2015/8/27/lisa-frank-on-lisa-frank https://royalgreenmarket.com/blogs/news/the-history-of-stickers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticker https://web.archive.org/web/20130130032149/http://hellogiggles.com/behind-the-rainbow-curtain-an-interview-with-lisa-franks-head-designer https://www.housebeautiful.com/design-inspiration/a29491534/lisa-frank-hotel-knockoff-studio-mucciolo/
