NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.
The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.
At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

For example, The fact that #Kherson is facing disaster as russians casually "hunt" people around the city with drones - is rarely covered. Because who tf cares.
The fact that Sumy obast is regularly shelled is mainly unknown, only attack in the city center was reported.🔽
