[Grateful Dead @GratefulDead]

Bobby Weir, just 17 years old when he co-founded the Warlocks, was one of the very few people who was at every single Grateful Dead show. Joining up with Jerry and Pigpen in 1964, and soon after Billy and Phil, with Mickey soon to follow, the Grateful Dead were defined by each of the unique musicians and voices these guys brought to the stage. And Bobby was as unique as they come.

A guitar player unlike any other, and a songwriter who created some of the most interesting, exciting, and oddly-timed songs in rock history, Bobby was also the unabashed rock star in the Grateful Dead. His list of contributions to the Grateful Dead repertoire is way too long to list, but songs like Sugar Magnolia, Truckin', Jack Straw, Cassidy, Looks Like Rain, Playing In The Band, Weather Report Suite, The Music Never Stopped, Estimated Prophet, Feel Like A Stranger, Hell In A Bucket, and Throwing Stones are just the tip of iceberg of his songwriting magnificence.

When Bobby had a spare moment both during the Dead's 30 year performing career and after, he was always working on exciting, different projects like Kingfish, Bobby & The Midnites, Weir & Wasserman, RatDog, The Other Ones, The Dead, Furthur, Dead & Company, Wolf Bros, symphonic collaborations, recordings, performing. He never sat still, and was always moving forward, an inspiration to us all.

Watching Bobby do anything was always a joy, as he embraced life around him. First and foremost, his family gave him immense happiness. Being on stage and performing for us all showed us a man who loved to bring smiles to our faces. He didn't do anything halfway, always giving it his all.

For 60 years, Bobby has been a huge part of the soundtrack to our lives. His kindness, generosity, and musical contributions have made our world a better place. — David Lemieux

The US is a horrible, cruel country. It is and always has been evil. We’re all in danger in #PlantationNation. The only hope is to #RESIST.

They must not anger Trump while he’s busy selling them out to Putin.

@jk_rowling Jake Hay, you’re a TERF, an embarrassment. This cis woman could not bring myself to burn your books, but it was a relief to toss them into a dumpster. Good riddance! My adult children, regrettably raised on your books, were with me. We all stand against you. #TransWomenareWomen

@tangot296 @TinyDancer1477 @NicoleLewisLCSW I’m not sure of it at all. I’m elderly and disabled on Medicaid, and that isn’t enough if you have cancer. If sill alive, I start Medicare next year. Hopefully that may improve things, but I have serious doubts.

@BKCaliNative @NicoleLewisLCSW Early grave.

[The Armchair Activist🌹🌻😢 @armact]

@JdubAndrew @NicoleLewisLCSW WRONG. Some are on both. Neither covers everything. The combination provides important care to sick and disabled elderly people who also are poor.

@PiratePatriot47 @Breaking911 On SNAP. I can ONLY afford cheap, processed food and a few fresh veggies. Doritos? Coke? How does anyone on SNAP afford it? I can’t. But this is not about health, it’s about rich people asserting control over the poor. I’d rather die.

[The Armchair Activist🌹🌻😢 @armact]

IT IS ABOUT CONTROL.

[Evan Bowar @BowarEvan]

@Breaking911 They don't want poor people to have an occasional treat. They want to dictate every aspect of a low-income person's life, all while ignoring the systemic reasons people are poor in the first place. This isn't about health, it's about control. #FoodStamps

[The Armchair Activist🌹🌻😢 @armact]

@Breaking911 Interesting. I’m old, disabled, on SNAP, don’t buy junk, and we’re still starving. Wish I could afford a soda. More to the point: Wish I could afford enough healthy food. SNAP isn’t enough help.

@RonFilipkowski He knew prison would suck before he started criming.
