As warehouses boom in California's Inland Empire, neighboring communities struggle to breathe

My latest with @aprilaser

nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
"Families in the Inland Empire are being treated like sacrifices," said @emahlee, a founding member of @AMZNforClimate. "It's as if their lives don't matter as much, and that's wrong and needs to be stood up against. It's unacceptable."

Amazon has made a bold climate pledge to be net zero carbon by 2040, including a wide range of offsetting programs. But offsetting won't help those breathing the diesel fumes from truck traffic in the Inland Empire

nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
There are some promising initiatives to curb the pollution generated by these warehouses, including a set of rules by the air quality regulator that would force warehouses to take responsibility for the truck traffic they attract

FB India is currently censoring posts calling for the resignation of the Prime Minister
I just used a VPN to check and this is still active. Outside of India, most posts using this hashtag are about the censorship
What's going on @Liz_Shepherd @andymstone?

Dying to know which Amazon comms person was tasked with trying to discredit the widely reported issue of some drivers feeling so pressured to hit productivity rates that they pee into bottles
Ditto the FB comms people who have to clean up the comments under Zuck's posts
My DMs are open to comms people who want to talk about the worst company line they ever had to toe

NEW: In the weeks after Kim Johnson sued her hospital for failing to spot her cancer, hospital workers edited her medical records to make it look like Kim was at fault, her lawyers allege
nbcnews.com/news/us-news/k…
The alleged coverup was only discovered after 3 years of litigation & thousands of dollars spent on a digital forensic expert to get hold of the full electronic medical record including the ‘audit trail’ - a log of who accessed and modified the record

nbcnews.com/news/us-news/k…

In malpractice cases, some hospitals will do anything avoid releasing the full record & audit trail

Police are increasingly turning to cars' infotainment systems to destroy suspects' alibis

nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
In one case, a man became a murder suspect after police retrieved recordings of his voice from the victim's truck

(he used the hands-free system to change radio station) nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
Cars can store not only location data, but when doors were opened and closed + call history & text messages from any phones connected via Bluetooth or USB.

It can often be easier for police to get calls/texts off a car than cracking the smartphone
