Framing a violation of international law in the way of “4 easy steps to optimise your skincare routine” is a new level of ghoulishness.

One issue with the lack of a united lefty politics is that it is hard to deal with these multi-faceted attacks. The right is very organized and can quickly pivot from xenophobia to misogyny to racism to suppressing democracy to back the blue. The media mistakenly frames this as "distraction."
