This is never surprising, unfortunately. People's perception of the types of crimes that cause the most harm to our communities generally is totally focused on "street crime" and not the very real financial crimes worsening wealth divides and environmental crimes damaging our health and planet.

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.
It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.
Just wow.

Citizen journalism in Kenya just got an upgrade with the new Tuma Report app, a tool that lets you track and report civic events across Kenya instantly.
Rose Njeri, the viral Finance Bill email tool dev, is back with ‘Tuma Report’, a citizen journalism app for Kenya
If you followed the intense civic engagement around the Finance Bill 2025 last May, you likely remember the "Civic Email" tool. It was a simple yet devastatingly effective web app that allowed thousands of Kenyans to flood parliamentary inboxes with objections. The developer behind it, Rose Njeri Tunguru (known on X as @rtunguru), has just launched her next major project, and it lands right as the country begins to look toward the upcoming election period. It’s called Tuma Report, and it is arguably a more ambitious attempt to decentralize how news is gathered and consumed in Kenya.
