Trump's Birthright Citizenship Executive Order: What Happens Next | ACLU Children born to parents who are undocumented or have temporary status will retain their right to birthright citizenship. The ACLU explains how the legal fight unfolded.

HIV Vaccine: HVTN 321 - Healthy Volunteers Sponsor: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Enrolling: Male and Female Patients Study Length: 16 Months Clinic Visits: 12 IRB Number: AAAV7818 U.S. Govt. ID: NCT06919016 Contact: Brittany Rose: 347-770-2201 / br2731@cumc.columbia.edu Additional Study Information: This trial is testing two experimental vaccines for HIV called DV700P-RNA and DV701B1.1-RNA. This trial is a Phase 1 study testing whether these vaccines are safe to use in people and can be taken comfortably, as well as how the immune system responds to the vaccines. Both vaccines are made using messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology. mRNA is a piece of genetic code carried into your body by the vaccine as a message with instructions. It works in the same way that the mRNA vaccines against COVID instruct the body's cells to make the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Instead of showing your immune system actual pieces of HIV, the vaccine carries instructions that show some cells how to make small pieces that look like parts of HIV. You may be eligible for this study if are between the ages of 18 and 55, do not have HIV, and are healthy. You may not be eligible for this study if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have previously received an HIV vaccine, or have certain medical conditions. If you participate in this study, you will attend clinic visits to have your blood drawn, receive injections of the experimental HIV vaccines, have white blood cells collected through a process called leukapheresis, and have cells from your lymph nodes collected using a thin needle guided by ultrasound. Your participation in the study will last approximately 16 months. You will be compensated for participating in this study.

Reminder that there are many promising mRNA vaccines in development for a wide range of diseases, and you can participate in clinical trials. Here's a clinical trial for HIV mRNA vaccines that is being run by a colleague at Columbia: recruit.cumc.columbia.edu/studyinfopag...

Tariffs cause August grocery price surge: Five foods hit hardest Food will cost you more, especially these five in-demand grocery items.

Food prices increased 23.6% from 2020 to 2024.

The Trump admin is terminating most contracts with federal unions at the Department of Veterans Affairs. This illegal union busting and violation of union contracts will affect 400,000 workers and is one of the most aggressive anti-labor moves the administration has made so far.

In light of Trump’s worsening cruelty, vindictiveness, and ever more belligerent attacks on democracy, many of you ask: “What can I do now?”

No one should ever have the power to autonomously cancel hundreds of millions of dollars for scientific research based on some lies they saw on YouTube.

US sides with El Salvador on eliminating presidential term limits, prompting democracy debate | CNN The US State Department has voiced rare support for El Salvador’s decision to abolish presidential term limits, paving the way for President Nayib Bukele to seek indefinite reelection. Critics argue t...

The U.S. State Department officially supports El Salvador’s removal of presidential term limits—flashing a warning of what’s to come in America.

The Trump regime will likely attempt the same, with support from a complicit Congress and Supreme Court.

And when they do, we the people will fight back.

This is really taking "they're only in government to benefit themselves" to the next level.

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed.

Doaa still needs support.

US friends, please order from your favorite international shops asap. Tariffs are badly hurting our own small businesses, but it’s going to devastate our artist friends elsewhere too who rely on US shoppers.

This is all so frustrating. It’s getting harder and harder to sell goods as an artist. 😔
