Neurodivergence is part of Black history. Thomas “Blind Tom” Wiggins is widely viewed today as an autistic savant. Harriet Tubman lived with epilepsy and sleep attacks after a traumatic brain injury—conditions that intersected with her leadership. #BlackHistoryMonth #Neurodiversity
Salma Hayek says her dyslexic brain “works in images,” helping her excel in visual storytelling. Advocate Izzie Chea’s ADHD diagnosis at 35 led her to build La Neuropicante, supporting neurodivergent Latine professionals. Different brains=different strengths. #Neurodiversity #ADHD #Dyslexia

Trump wants a “Golden Dome” to shield the US from ballistic missile attacks, with costs projected to reach $3.6 trillion. But research has proved US technology is not ready to make that "Dome" fully efficient. The cost for Trump’s Dome would thus be —again— a waste of our taxpayer money.
