And I would argue, set northern NM on a course of economic disparity that has only worsened since.

Yes, the text references 2.4k sites that have been contaminated by LANL. Many organizations, like Tewa Women United for example, are actively working to hold LANL accountable (including clean up) and for the return of their ancestral lands that were lost during the Manhattan Project.

The bomb tested at Trinity was developed in Los Alamos in the foothills of the Sange de Cristo mountains. The Trinity test site is in southern New Mexico in flat desert

Was saddening to read that even through much of the 20th century, violence was still the political language of New Mexico, as evidenced by the firebombing of Reies Lopez Tijerina's home. Again, I was unaware the "Wild West" lasted so long.
