Chances are you wouldn’t be able to recognize a biohazard even if you were looking right at one. But the biohazard symbol? It’s pretty easy to spot. Most warning icons rely on previously established objects or symbols: a general caution might use an exclamation point, and a fire warning might use an illustration of a flame. But the biohazard symbol references an idea that is much harder to picture — and in the 50 years since its invention, it has become one of the most recognizable icons on the planet. But can the meaning of a symbol like this last an eternity? A special Department of Energy project is trying to figure that out.

At every turn, Trump has turned further away from THE issue he campaigned and won on. The latest “negotiating” tactic will backfire even if the Democrats don’t accept. The memo no one knows about was named DACA by Obama. It wasn’t a law. But Trump has released from deportation those Obama protected with his memo by pretending they are entitled to remain and become voting citizens. Then, Janice Atkinson, Member of the European Parliament, talks BREXIT and Kevin Johnston on what’s really happening in Burma.

As the debate over immigration reform continues to heat up, President Trump and conservatives have been relying on the outdated and racist term "chain migration" to describe family-based migration. The term has roots dating back to the 1960s, and that's where it should have stayed.
Presidential Message on International Holocaust Remembrance Day
Issued on: January 26, 2018
Tomorrow marks the 73rd anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazi death and concentration camp in Nazi-occupied Poland. We take this opportunity to recall the Nazis’ systematic persecution and brutal murder of six million Jewish people. In their death camps and under their inhuman rule, the Nazis also enslaved and killed millions of Slavs, Roma, gays, people with disabilities, priests and religious leaders, and others who courageously opposed their brutal regime.
Our Nation is indebted to the Holocaust’s survivors. Despite the trauma they carry with them, they continue to educate us by sharing their experiences, strength, wisdom, and generosity of spirit to advance respect for human rights. Although they are aging and their numbers are slowly dwindling, their stories remain with us, giving us the strength to combat intolerance, including anti-Semitism and all other forms of bigotry and discrimination.
Every generation must learn and apply the lessons of the Holocaust to prevent new horrors against humanity from occurring. As I have said: “We will stamp out prejudice. We will condemn hatred. We will bear witness, and we will act.” In this spirit, we must join together across our nations and with people of goodwill around the world to eliminate prejudice and promote more just societies. We must remain vigilant to protect the fundamental rights and inherent dignity of every human being.
On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we acknowledge this dark stain on human history and vow to never let it happen again.

Why the right turned on Mueller as probe heated up

The New York Times is reporting Trump tried to fire Mueller in June, the same month right wing conservative media and Republican lawmakers ramped up attacks on the Special Counsel.
Two Baltimore police officers are on trial this week in federal court for some of this worst misconduct imaginable. Detectives Daniel Hersl and Marcus Taylor were members of Baltimore’s Gun Trace Task Force, an elite group of plainclothes officers expected to get the worst firearms and offenders off the city streets. Eight of the nine men on the task force have been accused of a range of organized crime-level charges that range from robbery and extortion, to faking evidence, planting drugs, dealing drugs, and other serious crimes. 6 of the officers, Sergeants Thomas Allers and Wayne Jenkins, and Detectives Momodu Gondo, Evodio Hendrix, Maurice Ward, and Jemell Rayam, have all pleaded guilty.
It’s a staggering fall: the Gun Trace Task Force was created by the city in 2007 with the explicit goal of fighting crime and reducing the city’s rising murder rate. For a while, city leaders saw the task force as a huge success, celebrating the firearms and drugs the men had confiscated. Today, many Baltimore residents consider the task force’s crimes the biggest scandal in recent memory. Freddie Gray’s 2015 death in police custody and the resulting riots dominated years of headlines, but these officers’s misconduct was the low frequency chaos only people in Baltimore’s most vulnerable communities could hear.
In the following bonus clip, Baltimore Sun reporter Justin Fenton speaks with Vice News Correspondent Antonia Hylton about the cultures that allow for police corruption and how Baltimore might heal.
“Love & Hip Hop” Star Amara La Negra Is Calling Out Racism — And Colorism
Published on Jan 26, 2018 by VICE News
It's a scene all too common in the entertainment industry: A male producer tells a female musician she needs to change her appearance in order to be successful.
This time, when the interaction unfolded during the premiere of VH1's "Love & Hip Hop: Miami" on Jan. 1, the female artist pushed back.
Dominican-American singer Amara La Negra walked out as her male castmate made racist comments — that her Afro wasn't elegant, for example — and instantly put herself on the American pop culture map. She announced she signed with the record label BMG, and landed an appearance on the widely-syndicated hip-hop radio show The Breakfast Club.
During that interview, she again shot down ignorant comments from the hosts, who asked if she was imagining the colorism she says she's always experienced in her community because she has dark skin.
"Being a Latina that looks like myself in the Latin industry is very hard," Amara told VICE News. "And I never would have imagined that talking about it would open this worldwide conversation."
Now, she's getting ready to record her first album and take her shot at the American market — while promoting her underrepresented Afro-Latino culture along the way.
In 24 hours, Trump TV goes from claiming the story is false, to saying maybe it's true, to telling viewers not to worry about it, back to actually it's false.

Joy Reid reports on the hundreds of millions of dollars in cash invested in Donald Trump's golf courses and notes that Eric Trump once explained that the source for that money was Russia, though his remarks were later denied.
Aswin Suebsaeng, White House reporter for The Daily Beast, talks with Joy Reid about the Republican National Committee's silence after the Wall Street Journal's report on decades of sexual misconduct by RNC finance chair Steve Wynn.

A Sober Trump Reassures the Davos Elite DAVOS, Switzerland — President Trump reassured the world’s political and financial leaders on Friday that his “America First” agenda was not a rejection of international cooperation, but he insisted that cross-border trade had to be made fairer and vowed to take action against predatory practices. It was an encounter that once would have been considered unlikely: A president who ran on a nationalist platform and has sought to raise barriers since taking office, addressing an exclusive gathering of billionaire investors, corporate executives and heads of state who have spent decades building the global economic system that he has taken steps to dismantle. Mr. Trump sought to reconcile the profound differences in their approaches with a relatively sober, restrained speech that argued that defending national interests was consistent with a global system. And he touted what he called a rising economy in the United States, declaring that “America is back” and inviting foreign businesses to invest. “I believe in America,” Mr. Trump told a jampacked auditorium at the conclusion of the annual World Economic Forum. “As president of the United States, I will always put America first — just like the leaders of other countries should put their country first. But ‘America First’ does not mean America alone.” And yet, he did not back down from his demand that that system be overhauled to guard the United States from what he called unfair behavior. “We cannot have free and open trade if some countries exploit the system at the expense of others,” he said. “We support free trade, but it needs to be fair and it needs to be reciprocal because in the end, unfair trade undermines us all. The United States will no longer turn a blind eye to unfair trade practices.” His message of an American economic comeback, however, was tempered by a report that came out even as he was on stage. The American economy grew by 2.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2017, healthy but lower than the 3 percent that had been expected and that he had set as his goal. Over all, the economy grew 2.3 percent in 2017, Mr. Trump’s first year in office, up from 1.6 percent in 2016, President Barack Obama’s last year. As he often does, Mr. Trump presented a selective version of the last year. He boasted that African-American unemployment was at a new low, but did not mention that it began falling in 2011 and the rate of decline on his watch was simply a continuation of the progress that started under Mr. Obama. He claimed credit for creating 2.4 million jobs since his election, but the number of new jobs created in 2017 was no higher than in any of the last six years of Mr. Obama’s tenure.
