Plummeting SNAP participation in the aftermath of the Trump admin's One Big Beautiful Bill should alarm us all. SNAP is a lifeline for millions of Americans — including children, older people, veterans, & others who either cannot work or earn low incomes. #PovertyIsNotALine bit.ly/4vkGS2t

Some people write blog posts. Some people write delicious blog-shaped literature reviews. Hard to compete with @drjeffmasters.bsky.social and @bhensonweather.bsky.social Esp appreciated calling out the study showing that hardening the right 5% of power grid cuts compound outage risk by ~40%! :
nature.com
Tropical cyclone-blackout-heatwave compound hazard resilience in a changing climate - Nature Communications
The study found that long-duration heatwaves are much more likely to follow power-damaging tropical cyclones in the future RCP8.5 climate, with the impact of longer-than-5-day tropical cyclone-blackout-heatwave compound hazard increasing by a factor of 23 over the 21st century.
