Jorge Caballero, MDMastodon is the best social network for breaking news from trusted sources. I wish the Mastodon Core project would prioritize features such as global search that would make it easier to discover boots-on-the-ground reporters and OSINT (and no, hashtags don't work so spare me the proselytizing)

John Dark@thesteelrat @DataDrivenMD I have had good luck finding breaking news at journa.host. And you can search by tag on that instance.
