Wide Impact: Highly Effective Gmail Phishing Technique Being Exploited

Signal boosting the hell out of this.  Because awareness is the best defense against hackers, thieves and assholes (and asshole thieving hackers).

Important for anyone on gmail!

Details:

  • You get an email from a familiar address
  • It has an attachment which also looks familiar and trustworthy, because that person has sent it to you before
  • You try to open the attachment and are shunted to a very realistic gmail login screen to “log back in”
  • If you do, your account is compromised.

To verify the incorrect login screen, check the url (shown above). The green lock symbol does not appear, and the actual url has spaces after it and extends way, way out into a string of more text.

Basically, if you’re logged in and click on something and are prompted to log in again, don’t do it.

Apparently Nickelodeon wants to build an attraction in Palawan, Philippines . 

This might seem fun for some people, but for us it’s not. 

You see, Palawan is known for its non-commercialized islands and untouched beaches. There are only a few resorts in there, and the government limits tourism population there. Here are some pictures of our beautiful islands:

Nickelodeon, however, wants to capitalize the island of Coron, Palawan. They’re going to build a resort and theme park there. They claim that they want to “spread environmental awareness” but they’re really not. Building this resort will disrupt the marine ecosystem; thus destroying the environment there. Also, Palawan is our last ecological frontier in the Philippines. If they’re going to continue to do this, more and more big companies will cash-in to commercialize Palawan- and I really do not want that to happen.

I know petitions won’t do much, but at least we can prove a point that Palawan should not be disrupted. Please sign this petition, so that it will not only show that us Filipinxs don’t want this, but people from different countries as well. Please spread it around as well, so that people from different countries can be aware of what Nickelodeon is doing.

Ang aming kalikasan ay hindi dapat sirain. Maraming salamat po.

Gotta spread this myself. I’m Filipina and the conservation of home is incredibly important to me. Pollution is already a huge issue throughout the country’s cities. Many islands including Palawan are home to not just beautiful nature but some of the last of our untouched, uncolonized heritage.

wtf

NO. PLEASE NO. I LEGIT CRIED WHEN I READ THE NEWS ARTICLE. The article is in a legit news network. It’s not fake. MY CHEST HURTS AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY. The developers say it won’t hurt the environment but artificial structures are artificial structures. PLEASE. PLEASE. NO.

I CAN ONLY HOPE THE PETITION IS GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I SIGNED IT SO FAST.

EVEN IF YOU’RE NOT FILIPINO, PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST. PLEASE.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD AND SIGN THE PETITION!! 

It’s one of the only good things we have left in our country. I’m hoping and praying signing this petition this will really help us out. So many things are already destroying the Philippines, and we’ve got pollution everywhere. I can’t have this happen to one of the few good things we have. Please, sign this. Please. I don’t want anyone to do terrible things to my country anymore. Our environment here has been through pretty rough years and I don’t know how much more it could handle. Please. Please sign the petition. 

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE FILIPINO TO SHARE THIS. I DON’T WANT TO SEE THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND ME GET DESTROYED LITTLE BY LITTLE. IT’S ALREADY STARTED A LONG TIME AGO, PLEASE HELP US STOP IT.

You don’t have to be Filipino to sign either

To all of my friends out there and ESPECIALLY my trans friends, if you hadn’t done so now, PLEASE GET A PASSPORT.

President Obama made it VERY easy to get your gender marker changed on your passport. All you need is:

– An ID that resembles your current appearance (just get a new photo taken on a driver’s license or ANY government issued ID)

– Passport photo that resembles your current appearance (From any drug store)

– Proof of legal name change (if applicable)

– A physician statement that indicates you have either completed or are in process of treatment for gender transition (the hardest part)

No surgeries, no red tape, no bullshit. And when people try to harass you or puush you around because “Hahaha your ID says your x” Whip out your passport and shut them DOWN. I carry mine wherever I go and I know a lot of my friends who live in the south do so as well. 

This law could VERY easily change under a Trump presidency and I haven’t been as serious about anything as I am about this. PLEASE GET A PASSPORT. Even the passport card (which is half as expensive as the book is!!!) will do. Just please if you can, get ONE ID that matches who you really are.

And I know to be able to get all of this together is a sign of privilege in the first place, and from one black, trans, queer women to all of my vulnerable siblings I will rot in a jail cell before I let this country harm any of us and I this I swear. I will NOT take this lying down.

PLEASE Signal Boost!

This is legit. My therapist at the VA told me this was the easiest way to get a form of ID with the proper gender marker on it.

I work in a supermarket. Your passport is a picture ID with your birthdate on it. We take it for buying booze.
I’ve recommended getting one to more than one nervous person handing over their license.

It expires just like your license and there’s some red tape for getting it renewed in a timely manner, but it’s considered as valid as your license even if it’s maybe less easy to carry around.

AND it’s internationally valid, unlike, say, your driver’s license. 

THAT. Yes. Thank you.

Actually it was Secretary Clinton who made it easy to change your gender on your passport.

If you can afford to get both the passport and the passport card, do it. Leave your passport at home, carry the passport card with you. It is a valid ID for purchasing liquor; it is a valid ID for crossing land and sea borders into Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and the Caribbean (please note it is NOT valid for international air travel); it is a valid ID for filling out your paperwork when you get a new job.

You can find out more about getting a passport here.

Trump Is Literally Not My President: CIA States Russian Hacks Helped Trump Win

speciesofleastconcern:

sitta-pusilla:

The Washington Post broke this news yesterday. It has since been picked up by several other major media outlets.

If the CIA and this reporting is to be believed, the GOP-lead Senate deliberately ignored this information from the CIA to gain power. Someone needs to act BEFORE the Electoral College meets on Dec 19th.

So far Lindsay Graham is the only Republican to speak up in outrage. And the only Democrat to make waves has been Harry Reid (who is retiring). The GOP’s reaction is understandable. Trump’s reaction has been as scary as everything else he has done, but 100% understandable. But the Dems? Pure cowardice, as usual. Obama himself needs to do something about this, because any investigation will end on Jan 20th.

And YOU reading this need to make serious waves. Our highest Intelligence agency has claimed this election was stolen. Trump WILL get away with this if we don’t take to the streets, IMMEDIATELY. Call someone. Write something. None of this is politics as normal! People need to be jailed for this. This is the literal definition of influence from a foreign government, and exactly what the Electoral College was made to stop.

Chelsea Manning has only 10 days to secure 62k more signatures on her petition for the commutation of her sentence and release. please take a moment to sign. you do NOT have to be american to sign the petition.

like not to be negative but yr not gonna get someone’s sentence overturned or commuted with a whitehouse.org petition

Chelsea Manning’s legal team filed for a formal commutation of her sentence on November 14th. you can read the full application here. while the petition is not the sole basis for her release, it is being used to expedite the process of assessing her eligibility for commutation while obama is still in office and the acting president. 

comments like this are not only a little irritating but they’re also just totally misinformed. like political prisoners rely on petitions a lot to gain local, national and eventually international support and have been effective in the past in expediting their release process. this defeatist “nothing will ever change oh well” attitude is such a waste of time and kind of pretentious. like i can understand the cynicism and pessimism–but it would be worthwhile to recognize that there is no better time than right now to campaign for her release. this is the most optimal time period to apply pressure to the obama admin to commute her sentence. sign the petition.

For the fifth time in our country’s history, and for the second time in the past 16 years, the winner of the popular vote lost the presidential election. It is time to abolish, or at least reform, the outdated electoral college, so that it will never again undermine the will of the American people.

You can sign this petition to abolish the electoral college via Constitutional Amendment: http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/abolish-the-electoral-6

However, enacting a Constitutional Amendment could be very difficult because it requires the approval of 2/3rds of Congress and ¾ths of the 50 state legislatures. Thankfully, there are other ways to enact a national popular vote, since the “winner-take-all” practice of awarding electoral votes is not actually in the Constitution. It can be changed state by state. Time to start the movement by contacting your legislators and making your voice on this issue heard. Visit www.nationalpopularvote.com to start learning about and acting on this important issue.

Guys, if you just put your email in it will automatically send emails to your state’s representatives, even draft up the email for you! (And there are different versions you can preview and send.)

Takes 15 seconds. Please spread like wildfire.

Ok y’all out here talking about harming Trump have fun because the feds legit watch this site and Tumblr has zero problems with submitting your data to them if they ask for it so you can be mad all day but I strongly recommend you don’t sit here and catch a case by threatening the presumptive president elect.

https://www.tumblr.com/transparency y’all think I’m playing but it’s literally right here. Tumblr does get requests for user data from the federal government due to active investigations like don’t be this dumb
