It’s been 60 years since the Grateful Dead played a Peace Benefit at Mt. Tamalpais Amphitheatre, in Marin County, CA. Alongside Quicksilver Messenger Service, Bola Sete (who replaced Joan Baez and Mimi Fariña), and anti-war speakers Ed Keating & Don Duncan. The Dead rallied together at the benefit in support of the congressional campaign of anti-war candidate Phil Drath, as well as local peace efforts. Poster art by Mouse Studios featured a reflective, but familiar bear and pig.
Remembering my dear friend @JohnPrineMusic, on what would have been his 80th birthday this Saturday. I miss him deeply, as all of us who love him do. What a gift he will always be.
He knows my name is Abdul. He says it everyday.
But he’s not just attacking me. He’s attacking all of us. He thinks so low of us. He thinks he can use my name and my faith to distract us from the suffering his policies are inflicting on us at the pump, at the grocery store, and at the doctor’s office. He thinks we don’t know any better.
It’s time for change.
We have 216 signatures for the Epstein Files Transparency Act II discharge petition, but we need 218.
Two democrats who were out sick have pledged to sign, but any two republicans could sign the petition NOW.
Will your Representative sign? Here are the 4 Republicans who signed:
Thomas Massie: The Epstein scandal is “deeper and darker” than anyone imagined.
“It’s bigger than Watergate.”
“It’s bigger than Iran-Contra.”
“It’s not about Joe Biden or Donald Trump.”
“There are degrees of evil here that we’ve never seen at this scale … ”
“Our government was compromised by wealthy, connected billionaires, and by Jeffrey Epstein himself.”
“At the age of 14, these girls that were being sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein were told if they could go find another girl to take their place, then they wouldn’t have to be sexually abused.”
“And some of them took that deal.”
“It’s one thing to be evil to a child.”
“It’s another thing to get a child to do evil.”
“The light sentence that was given to Jeffrey Epstein in 2008 that allowed him to victimize hundreds of more women, we want to know, why was he given that light sentence?”
I am angry tonight.
Because today ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car.
ICE makes this city less safe.
We want them out. Now.
Nothing quite like a Phil bomb to get you hooked ⚡
For her third pick, @karinarykman heads to New Haven, 10/25/79. This bass heavy “Shakedown Street” is sure to get you up on your feet. Listen here: https://t.co/GohCgrdVRW
This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.
This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.
Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.
Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.
Abolish ICE.

A couple hundred miles south on I-95 and we’re in Providence, a city that needs no introduction to the @GratefulDead. Put the band inside the Civic Center and you’ve got an immediate party.

"Bucket > Sugaree starts the fire, with Jerry leaning into Sugaree and taking it to another level. Bobby heads west with Me & My Uncle > Mexicali, followed by Ramble On Rose with Mojo Hand and Jack the Ripper paying visits before they head Down in the Bottom > I Ain’t Superstitious. Jerry settles into Row Jimmy, loving every minute of it, before an extended Let It Grow brings the house down.
And they’re just getting started.
Terrapin Station opens the second set. I repeat—Terrapin opens the second set! A lengthy Women Are Smarter keeps things moving before Ship of Fools lets everyone drift.
Then it’s Truckin’ > Spoonful, and the Rhythm Devils take it from there. Space gets especially out there before landing gently on Wharf Rat. Everyone’s flying away before the kids they dance and shake their bones through Throwing Stones, and Bobby sends the Civic Center over the edge with Sugar Magnolia.
Day Job keeps the party going. Spring Tour ’85—about as free as you can get. Enjoy!" - Martin Knott
