Why Some People Keep Making The Same Bad Decisions
New research confirms what many people feel but can’t explain: your environment is making decisions for you. Everyday sights and sounds shape choices in ways most people never consciously register.

In December… Continue reading Why Some People Keep Making The Same Bad Decisions

From the earliest encounters between settlers and Indigenous nations to modern immigration enforcement, the United States has relied on forced removal, deportation, and exclusion as tools of control. Indigenous nations, enslaved Africans, free Black communities, religious minorities, Asian immigrants, Mexican and Mexican American families, Japanese Americans, and more recent immigrant groups have all faced it.… Continue reading Removal Is The Foundation
Planting Justice in the Desert
In a city often defined by neon excess and cultural displacement, a different kind of light pulses from Las Vegas’ historic West Side—a light rooted in earth, driven by women, and watered by the will to build what’s been denied.
