I'm torn about what to focus on. Prior to this year I've focused on climate and environment (and animals), but recently I've taken an interest in Christian Nationalism, but I also want to support groups like the ACLU that focus on civil rights. Before that I was obsessed about the White Nationalist groups, but I'm seeing there are tons of individuals, reporters and organizations focused single-mindedly on that.

It's a bit overwhelming. I like to go deep on one or two causes, rather than superficially on many issues, but I'm really seeing so many that need attention.
