I went looking for the alt text because, well, I love the Easter-egg nature of the alt text he provides. Got chills as soon as I realized what he’d done.
So much respect for him.
I did the same, pressed on it for the text, got sent straight to the video, and swore under my breath in admiration. In the current climate what he's done isn't risk free, despite the fact it a) should be, and b) shouldn't be needed in the first place.
Nothing but respect for people calling out the crimes of thus administration, and when it's someone with an unrelated platform and an audience, so much the better.
The alt text: Rümeysa Öztürk was grabbed off the street in my town one month ago.
