Am I the only one who prefers the early iteration of “Dancin’ in the Streets” by the Grateful Dead to the later disco-fied version? #Deadhead

13.02.2026 03:53 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Yes, though I think it’s intentionally vague enough that it can be about any inhumane context, “man’s inhumanity to man” and the temptation of indifference, ie not walking out to witness injustice whether nuclear devastation, the Vietnam war, or violence in the streets of Birmingham or Minneapolis.

Something that is art, in this case performance art, is always about suggestion and interpretation. That is what makes it art.

Nonviolent hero and saint, Oscar Romero. Romero changed the world by standing with the outcast, impoverished, and oppressed. He stood up to corrupt power and bore the cross for his prophet stance. May be be our guide today. #nonviolence #prayer

On this day in 1965, Dr. King led over 250 activists to the Dallas County Courthouse in Selma, Alabama, to register to vote. All of them were arrested during the peaceful demonstration and charged with parading without a permit.
