Barack Obama took a moment after landing in Warsaw, Poland to speak out on the senseless killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile this afternoon…and let American citizens know that killings like these should concern all of us, not just the Black Lives they directly affect: “We have seen tragedies like these too many times. When incidents like this occur, there’s a big chunk of our fellow citizenry that feels as if – because of the color of their skin – they are not being treated the same. And that hurts. And that should trouble all of us. This is not just a black issue. It’s not just a Hispanic issue. It’s an American issue. All fair-minded people should be concerned.” TIME

11 Police Shot, 4 Dead After Dallas Protests Protesters have taken to the streets in various cities across the US to demonstrate against police brutality, excessive force, and senseless killings in the wake of the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, less than 24 hours apart from one another. Now, just as a protest in Dallas came to a close tonight, rapid-succession gunfire filled the streets and resulted in the injury of 11 officers, causing fatalities for four. Via NBCDFW : Three officers are dead, and at least seven others are injured in downtown Dallas Thursday, Dallas Police Chief David Brown says. The entire statement follows: Tonight it appears that two snipers shot ten police officers from elevated positions during the protest/rally. Three officers are deceased, two are in surgery and three are in critical condition. An intensive search for suspects is currently underway. No suspects are in custody at this time. We ask that any citizen with information regarding the shootings tonight call 214-671-3482. We will provide more information once it is available. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers tonight. DART says one of its officers has been killed, and three others have non-life threatening injuries. The gunshots rang out about 9 p.m. following a protest and rally held over two people killed in police shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota this week. The shootings took place as the rally and march were ending. Scores of police officers arrived downtown following the shooting, which took place near Main and Market streets and a block from the Old Red Courthouse building. Since that was printed, the number shot rose to 11 and death toll rose to 4. The Dallas Police Chief has blamed the incident on two snipers aiming at police, however live Twitter accounts of the action from people on the ground are giving totally different accounts of what is going on. INTERESTING. Twitter has also reportedly dispelled rumors that a protester spotted on the scene with a firearm he has the legal right to carry with him was one of the alleged snipers responsible for the attack. The man in the photos turned himself in, and the status of his apprehension is unknown. However, reports from 24-hour news networks are saying that Dallas authorities are still reporting that they have no suspects in custody. No word on the race or gender of said snipers or any proof/word if they were at all affiliated with the protest. But we know it’s getting VERY real out here… WFAA

A lil positivity… Homeless Chicago Students Given A Prom Two Illinois non-profits are making national headlines for a recent selfless act. Teen Living Programs Chicago and Sisterhood of the Traveling Heart recently held a “dream prom” for 40 homeless Chicago students that included donated dresses and tuxedos. ABC News reports: About 40 homeless students in Chicago got something Saturday many of them thought would never come — a chance to attend prom. Jalisa Thurston was one of those students. “This prom is amazing because I didn’t ever go to prom,” she told ABC News. Thurston, 23, who is set to return to school later this year, said she never attended her high school prom after being kicked out of school for “some bad choices” and a subsequent pregnancy. On Saturday, she got a chance to wear a donated off-white two-piece evening gown thanks to a prom, held by two local non-profits Teen Living Programs Chicago, which serves homeless youth ages 14-24, and Sisterhood of the Traveling Heart, which centers on girls and teens around the world. It was the first time the prom was held for the organizations. “I feel like I’m getting married,” Thurston said. “I’m glad I met [TLP Chicago] because they’re wonderful.” The room where the prom was held on the lower level of Life Center Church of God in Christ in Chicago was decorated in navy blue and white. Along with a candy table, there was also a cake and cupcake stand. A prom queen and king were crowned — after getting recommendations from the students’ social workers — and some students even performed. Several local and national organizations provided donations, allowing the men to be outfitted with tuxedos and the women received complimentary hair styling and make-up application. “They all looked so nice,” Kamelah Muhammad, one of the organizers who came up with the idea, told ABC News. Wow! What an awesome story! Kudos to these two organizations for giving back and making dreams come true!

Donald Trump’s Anti-Semitic Tweet Originated From White Supremacist Account Donald Trump’s tweet that showed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and a six-pointed star on a pile of money was originally found on a white supremacist website according to NY Times : Trump’s account on Saturday tweeted the so-called “meme” — then deleted it and replaced it substituting a circle for the star symbol that resembles the Jewish Star of David. The change came after a social media uproar about the star tweet’s potentially anti-Semitic implications. The meme first appears to have hit the Internet on June 15, when it was posted by the Twitter user @FishBoneHead1. The account, which described itself as belonging to a comedian, regularly tweeted out anti-Clinton and right-leaning messages and images. The image also appeared on June 22, on /pol/, an active neo-Nazi Internet message board that features many anti-Semitic posts. It remains unclear where Trump’s campaign obtained the image. A spokeswoman for the campaign did not immediately respond to questions about the original tweet or who was responsible for sending it out. Trump’s twitter account remained silent on the issue Sunday. The @FishBoneHead1 account was deleted amid the uproar on Sunday afternoon. The person who operated the feed did not respond to a request for comment before it was deleted. The post itself was deleted from the /pol/ message board, but its existence was confirmed by The Associated Press through an internet search engine that combs internet archives. The original tweet from the racist account: Make AmeriKKKa great again!
