» Schenk Atwood Starkweather Yahara Neighborhood Association announced the cancellation [of AtwoodFest this weekend] in a statement saying, “Our community and our Marquette neighbors witnessed another horrific officer-involved shooting just blocks from our festival grounds, leaving us in deep pain and justified anger” «
I don't even know who the organizers are, but my first reaction to this news is not "this is solidarity" but instead "they're closing the public pool" 😕

“The grand opening of the Madison Public Market today, after some 20 years of planning, will be postponed due to the death of Corey Durell Ruiz on Williamson Street on Wednesday” » “our community experienced a tragic loss with the death of Corey Durell Ruiz. We extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones, and to everyone impacted by this tragedy” « True, likely heartfelt... yet also denies justified anger and grief another forum, avoiding discomfort 😕 https://madison365.com/todays-madison-public-market-grand-opening-has-been-postponed/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=activitypub
