CONTRIBUTORS

IT’S ALL OUT IN THE OPEN • From Trump’s graft to systemic police abuse, this year has been about making corruption plain to see.

WHITE ELEPHANT • The racism of Trumpism was always baked into the Republican Party.

PLAYING CHICKEN • Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia is letting meatpackers self-regulate during the pandemic—with devastating results for their workers.

HOW TO PANDEMIC-PROOF AMERICA

THE SHIELD • Police unions are the key to understanding why so many officers escape discipline after beating or killing people. Will this year's racial justice uprisings finally force reform?

BADGES AND BUDGETS • Police spending may be too high. But what cities spend varies widely.

BUY THE BOOK • Lexipol says its policies keep police departments out of trouble. Critics say they let cops go too far.

WHOSE STREETS? • Oakland residents convinced the city to rethink how it tackled gun violence. Now other cities are eyeing its strategy amid calls to defund the police.

COLD AS ICE • Local sheriffs are driving Trump’s deportation agenda—and terrifying immigrant communities.

ONE-WAY TICKET • Driving in Gwinnett County can be an express lane to immigration detention.

TRUE WEST • The legendary Texas Rangers have a dark history of brutality and impunity. Now, they are facing a reckoning a century in the making.

STAY TO PLAY • Trump cronies, lobbyists, and special interests have propped up the president’s DC hotel.

ARE YOU BEING SERVED? • Where the indiscreet meet to eat, tweet, and compete for the attention of the owner up the street.

IN THE ROUGH • Donald Trump has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into his struggling Scottish golf clubs. Lawmakers in Edinburgh want to know where that cash came from.

UNDEREXPOSED • From lockdown to uprising, “TrapLanta” was there, forcing viewers to look with new eyes on a world they thought they knew.

REBEL FELL • Iconoclasm with rise again.

LET THERE BE LIGHT • Is it a bright idea to use ultraviolet beams to kill the coronavirus?

TIPPING POINT • Is it time to save yesterday’s restaurant industry—or “let it die”?
