All of the above comments echo what I was going to say about picking the one or two issues that you care about the most and sticking to those.
I'm wondering if there's a way we can create support groups by topic for this comm - would that be helpful?
I'm thinking of the Land Team model. Like the handful of people who want to focus on Healthcare, for example, can find each other, keep track of the news, post the calls to action for Team Healthcare, make the calls for the wider community if there's a protest/big vote in Congress coming up.
For my own part, I've found that since my job is one that may be in the crosshairs in the near future, doing it well has become one place I put my energy. I live in the bluest of blue states, so I haven't found what I feel is a constructive use of my remaining time or energy, but I'm thinking it might be something hyperlocal that I can physically volunteer for.
