"We can't have clean energy because it will destroy the oil industry. We can't have healthcare because it will destroy the health insurance industry. We can't have peace because it will destroy the
weapon industry. Capitalism is a system which disables the option to do the right thing."
Creating fake, sexual images of women and children is a cruel and unacceptable form of abuse. We will not accept that.
Today, the European Commission has launched new investigation against X under the DSA. We have taken investigative steps and suspect that X has not properly assessed and mitigated risk on Grok´s functionalities. This includes the risk of spreading illegal content in the EU, like fake sexual images and child abuse material.

She stands at a white lectern with a microphone, holding a card with a logo and designs on it. In the background is an EU flag of gold stars on a blue field. The room's wall is a blue that is close to the color of the flag. #AltText4You #Accessibility

4 Panel comic with 2 snails.
Panel 1:
Left snail craws behind right snail and asks: 'English is difficult. When do we use "many" and when do we use "much"?
Panel 2:
Right snail answers: '"Many" is for nouns that are countable, like apples. "Much" is for nouns that are not countable, like water.
Panel 3:
Left snail concludes: 'So we should say "many rational numbers" and "much real numbers"?
Panel 4:
Right snail is turned around to look (with pain?) at left snail.

I have an autistic friend here who I just found out has a large collection of online art they created. But this person doesn't share it here, because they have trouble describing visual details verbally. So I wanted to ask the community on this person's behalf:
What are the options for assistance with *creating* alt text? I know we have tags like #AltText4You, but I've never used it, so I don't know proper etiquette. (Is there any?) I also know there are automated tools for doing it, but (1) I don't know what they're called and (2) IDK if they are actually helpful to visually impaired folks.
I was thinking at the very least, this person could ask for help writing alt text, in the alt text itself, and then simply edit it once someone has assisted.
Please boost so we can get a variety of perspectives on this. I'm especially interested in hearing from the visually impaired community, as this impacts them the most.

Thus the alt text is actually: "We're Hiring! Technical Support Advocate. Join a mission-driven team at May First. Part-time, fully remote role. Apply by January 11th, 2026. jobs@mayfirst.org " #AltText4You
Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system - a party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable, not a party that buckles and capitulates.
If Democratic leaders can't understand this, then they must be replaced with a new generation of voices who do.
