Using ALT TEXT is the right thing to do to ensure everyone has access to photo posts/memes. Just copy text from article and paste into the Alt Text window. It is also a benefit to you since the character limit is well over 1000! Plus, Alt-Text is searchable, unlike a photo.

Three people died in Krome back in March. Then DHS clamped down on the leaks coming out of Krome. And, as they had hoped, the public outrage died down and went away.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.
The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.
