With a billion people in the world living without electricity, limiting their choices and ability to travel by making expensive cars isn’t…

Propublica is a nonprofit newsroom that investigates power abuse. Sign up and receive the biggest story as soon as it’s published. Two cities in Minneapolis, Kentucky, and Louisville, were quickly attracting attention when news broke in January that the Trump Justice Department was frozen in critical work on civil rights lawsuits, including police reform cases. Both locations were at the forefront of police killings entering a court mandatory agreement to overhaul police after calculating race and policing nationwide. However, it is clear that the regime’s movements can be felt far beyond these two cities. In fact, Propublica reviews have raised…
