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.

They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America.
There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.
