Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

My Biblical thought of the day, Jesus went through Samaria, a town that Jews would walk mikes to avoid. So after the Resurrection, did this continue? Did Christians like Paul continue looking for converts in Sameria?

Who bears the brunt of these cuts? Well, here's a word cloud of the most frequent terms from the titles and abstracts of terminated grants, with word size proportional to frequency:

A word cloud, with words of different sizes, and different colors, with purple for the largest, red medium, and green small. "Black" stands out prominently in purple. In red, we see "climate", "student", "network", "justice", "identity", "teacher", and "undergraduate".

UPDATE: We have data on >1000 terminated #NSF grants at grant-watch.us. Thanks to all who have been contributing data the past few days. We've also added a "Reports" section with some analyses. For NSF, we see that the STEM education directorate has been absolutely pummeled.

Screenshot of table showing number of grants and total value terminated by NSF directorate. STEM Education directorate is highlighted, with 417 terminations totaling 322 million dollars.
