T-Mobile on Friday released more details about a hack into its systems, noting that more customers were affected than it previously disclosed. Further, the company said hackers obtained some customers’ IMEI and IMSI phone data alongside other personal information, potentially paving the way for deeper security breaches. The Wall Street Journal reported that the FBI is aware of the situation and that the FCC has opened an investigation into the matter. News of the hack broke early this week, and T-Mobile has been issuing updates of its investigation into the issue since then. The company’s latest update indicates hackers obtained more data on its customers than T-Mobile initially disclosed. “We have now also determined that phone numbers, as well as IMEI and IMSI information, the typical identifier numbers associated with a mobile phone, were also compromised. Additionally, we have since identified another 5.3 million current postpaid customer accounts that had one or more associated customer names, addresses, date of births, phone numbers, IMEIs and IMSIs illegally accessed,” the company said in a statement.

Fannie Mae Opens the Door for Renters to Become Homeowners – theMReport.com
Beginning September 18, 2021, Fannie Mae’s Desktop Underwriter (DU) will enable single-family lenders–with permission from mortgage applicants–to automatically identify recurring rent payments in the applicant’s bank statement data to deliver a more inclusive credit assessment. For qualified renters who may have limited credit history, but a strong rent payment history, Fannie Mae’s DU enhancement creates new opportunities for homeownership, while promoting safe and sound lending.
“For many households, rent is the single largest monthly expense. There is absolutely no reason timely payment of monthly housing expenses shouldn’t be included in underwriting calculations,” said Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Acting Director Sandra L. Thompson. “With this update, Fannie Mae is taking another step toward understanding how rental payments can more broadly be included in a credit assessment, providing an additional opportunity for renters to achieve the dream of sustainable homeownership.”

NYC’s School Vaccine Mandate Brings Relief For Parents And Legal Threats – Gothamist
Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Monday that all education department employees — including teachers, administrators, cafeteria workers and custodians — must show proof that they have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccines by September 27th, two weeks after classes resume. The mandate will apply to 148,000 education department workers. The announcement coincided with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granting full approval to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. The new mandate goes further than the policy the mayor announced earlier this summer for all city workers, including teachers, that requires vaccination or weekly testing. It applies to the city’s traditional public schools and includes any charter schools that are co-located with them. The mandate does not apply to pre-k teachers at community-based organizations outside the city’s school buildings, bus drivers or private schools. The latter can set their own rules and are governed by the state.

Um apelo à natureza e dos povos indígenas! Não ao Projeto de Lei #490! … e uma mensagem de um xamã Yanomami … – atualizado

«Achei que se os brancos pudessem me ouvir, eles convenceriam o governo a não deixar a floresta ser destruída … Agora, os garimpeiros infestam a floresta com a fumaça de seus motores e a fumaça do ouro e do mercúrio que queimam juntos.
A partir de agora, tememos a malária de menores, que também é muito forte … O fôlego de vida dos moradores da floresta é frágil diante desses fumos epidêmicos de xawara. Se todos nós morrermos, ninguém será capaz de compensar o valor de nossa morte. O dinheiro dos brancos e bens não os trarão de volta para nós! E a floresta devastada nunca poderá ser restaurada, estará perdida para sempre.»
– porta-voz e xamã Yanomami Davi Kopenawa

Deseja ser feliz, tenha coragem de lutar pelo o que você quer
Vivaldi translation of title: You want to be happy, have the courage to fight for what you want
Lutar pelo que queremos é a primeira regra para responder as nossas necessidades. Desejo, todo têm, mas coragem de lutar, não. Eu diria que o desejo é algo contagiante e, ao mesmo tempo limitador. Limitador porque no mesmo momento que você pensa em avançar, vem aquela sensação de fracasso e tristeza, misturado ao sentimento de gratidão pelo que você já conquistou. Entente? Você fica na contramão do próprio discurso. Você questiona, mas na maioria das vezes, vive naquela aglomeração de ideias, críticas pessoais ( depreciação), situação bastante comprometedora que impedem você de ir além.
Quando desejamos algo ou alguma coisa, devemos nos esforçar. A diferença – essa- há de ter comprometimento. Você deve adquirir destreza, mudar de comportamento, estudar práticas, usar a inteligência para construir caminhos. É isso que estou falando: estímulos. Quando você pensa, busca soluções.
Cada pessoa tem a sua particularidade, as suas manias, seus vícios, a sua…

Stop modern lynchings, learn languages, and get ProBono Legal education for ALL
Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better
Some languages help us communicate, while other languages help us make things run smoothly. Computer languages and legal language are examples of the latter. To understand computer languages, one studies computer science, and to understand legal language, one studies the law and policies active in the state of residence. But not all of us have the opportunity to study the crucial legal language that governs much of our existence: the consequences of that lack are devastating.
Lynching once occurred physically, but now happens financially, through the court system all across the South, and make no mistake, it is just as murderous, and just as racist:
“…42% of the cases involved black families, despite the fact that only 6% of Carteret’s population is black. Heirs not only regularly lose their land; they are also required to pay the legal fees of those who bring the partition cases. In 2008…

Trump’s national security adviser says Pompeo signed ‘surrender agreement’ with Taliban: ‘We defeated ourselves’ | The Independent
HR McMaster, one of Donald Trump’s former national security advisers, has condemned the deal struck with the Taliban during the previous administration as a “surrender agreement”. “Our secretary of state [Mike Pompeo] signed a surrender agreement with the Taliban,” Mr McMaster said on Bari Weiss’ podcast Honestly. “This collapse goes back to the capitulation agreement of 2020. The Taliban didn’t defeat us. We defeated ourselves.” Mr McMaster has hit out at both the Trump and Biden administrations for their handling of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, but he has long been critical of the agreement signed during his former boss’s term in office. The retired US Army lieutenant general is one of many former senior Trump officials who have sought to distance themselves from the Taliban peace deal that was signed in February 2020, as chaos gripped the capital Kabul over the past week.
