Shining Bright Light on Dark Places:
Trump's Cabinet Choices

It is my belief that, as best as we can, there is a great need for us to know the forces that we are up against which are throwing our nation and the world into looming risks and peril. It is this awareness that is moving me to share a deeper look into those who Trump plans to surround himself with — because a Caring Revolution cannot happen in the fog of ignorance, apathy, inaction, disinformation, or despair. That said, looking straight in the faces of those in positions of power who are so lost to their humanity is incredibly disturbing and painful. But look we must and, again, at our own pace and as much as we are able. 

I absolutely understand how overwhelming these times are and how important self-care is. It is also ultimately my hope and vision that in an ongoing way we are able to channel our fears and grief and foreboding into individual and collective positive action — activism which is arising out of a passionate caring for the welfare of all of life everywhere. May we increasingly work together to dismantle systems of harm and stand in protection of that which nurtures and protects life rather than destroys it. We truly are all in this together.

I am now going to share below a plethora of resources which highlight a running updated list describing the potential incoming cabinet for a second Trump Presidency — resources which illuminate the dangers and risks posed to us all by each of these nominations. The sources that I am including here, with only a couple of exceptions, are also independent — which means that they receive no corporate funding. 

It is deeply important, I believe, to turn to independent resources of information which hold the powerful accountable rather than being their voice pieces. We are where we are at today, in part, because of the longstanding reality that the corporate funded mainstream media withholds the deeper truths and horrors of what is happening, which are too often normalized. This is NOT "normal" and we must resist being pulled into denial, minimization, distraction, disinformation, and disempowerment in these times where truth is often blurred or silenced.

Please absorb the reality and potential impacts of these choices as you are able. And please seek solidarity with others who understand the vital need to do whatever preparations that we can to resist the great cruelty and trauma that is now upon our nation and the world.

This list could obviously go on and on. And given those who ask if Trump could be worse than Biden or Harris, I say — just look at this. Deeply.

Bless us all, no exceptions...
Molly
