TUPAC SHAKUR. This month/year marks 30 long years since he passed, sadly, tragically. I interviewed him many times, was there in Las Vegas when he died. This is the only thing I have to say about it all publicly, for now, my newest article for NEWSWEEK: www.newsweek.com/the-tupac-sh...

The Tupac Shakur I Knew
Tupac has become, 30 years after his murder, the most anointed rapper ever. I knew his heart, laughter and many contradictions.

The ICE raids and cruelty we are seeing inflicted on children are unacceptable.

The federal government has stripped legal representation from hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied children. Many will soon face an impossible choice: navigate our immigration system alone or risk detention and deportation.

Our city is stepping up. We've invested $16.9 million in immigration legal services for unaccompanied children, with another $32 million in this year's immigration legal services budget, including rapid-response legal advice and representation for people in detention.

If you need immigration legal support, we're here to help. Our free, confidential Immigration Legal Support Hotline is available in your preferred language, regardless of immigration status.

Researchers changed one detail about a job—then pay expectations fell
Even identical roles drew smaller salary estimates as more women filled them, hinting at a hidden bias shared by all.
