1. Outrage fatigue is all well and good (in that it's not well and good at all), but is there any way to counteract that? I find I get more overwhelmed the more helpless I feel. I need simple, concrete steps I can take to stop feeling overwhelmed - and no, voting isn't going to help much. Things that don't rely on other people (huge protest marches, for example) are good, as are things that *feel* productive. Writing a letter doesn't feel productive if I'm not sure it's going to be heeded.
2. Regardless of whether or not the act is enforceable, it's still troubling. But I guess we shall see what we shall see, sometime after the elections.
Now, I'm off to watch something decidedly non-current-eventsy, aka Veronica Mars. I've already seen it, but it'll keep me from having to think about real things for a while.
