Our culture is NOT for sale. Stop Disney from trademarking Day of the Dead!

The Walt Disney Company filed 33 applications on May 1st to trademark “Day of the Dead” in anticipation of a future film. That Disney intends to make money off the name of a cultural holiday celebrated by millions of people of Mexican and Central American heritage is awful enough. That they intend to file for ownership of the name and tradition is downright unacceptable and incredibly offensive. 

Previously, Disney attempted to trademark the Navy SEAL team that captured Osama Bin Laden, but after outrage from the public, it was forced to withdraw that application citing “deference to the Navy.” If we send a strong enough message to Disney this time around, it will be forced to also withdraw applications to avoid another public relations disaster. 

Tell Disney that culture is NOT for sale. Sign this petition calling on Disney’s CEO & chairman to immediately withdraw all applications to trademark Day of the Dead. If we get over 15,000 signatures, we’ll personally deliver it to Disney headquarters. Can you help us get there by signing and sharing?

Sign the Petition!!

That’s a given.

More population = more people = more people in prison.
What you should look at is the percentage of people in jail and compare it with other countries.

Well then China would have the world’s largest prision population. But it doesn’t. 

The US has 5% of the world’s population but 25% of the world’s incarcerated population. This should be common knowledge by now.

70% of the US prison population is People of Color, that’s as much as all of China’s prisons.

The United States not only has the worlds largest prison population, but we have the worlds largest per capita prison population at well over 700 of ever 100,000 people incarcerated.

China has 1 billion more people than the US, yet still imprisons about 1 million fewer people than the US.

So yeah, really, land of the free, home of the largest prison population by any way you want to measure it. But five-year-olds still have the right to shoot their two-year-old sisters! Freedom!!11

When something unspeakably awful happens, as it did not long ago, apparently the new normal is for people to launch into their preferred wingnut conspiracy theory on Twitter. Rather than engage with any of that ghastly nonsense or wait for more horrific pictures to come in from Boston, I’m going to pick up my kids and hug them for an extra hour.

My thoughts are with everyone living in or visiting Boston, as well as those who have family and friends in Boston. I’m done for today.

I really value speculation, personally. That human desire to process limited information quickly and make judgments is why people immediately assumed there were other bombs near hotels and began the process of dismantling them.
