We don't need to debate the definition of the threat. @ejeris.bsky.social shares that the reality is this government is building more jails and changing laws to trap people — we need to start building the movement that actually ends fascism. #thefascismbarometer

Living under a fascist regime means that fear, grief, and chronic stress take a toll. Building trusted communities can help sustain us. Listen to our conversations in S2E4 with @malkiadevichcyril.bsky.social and with @ebmore.bsky.social in S2E10 of The Fascism Barometer for more info.

In these times it’s easy to get overwhelmed and confused around what to do as fascism rises. @ejeris.bsky.social highlights in our Midnight Musings series that we have one job to help build a bigger movement.  Check out the rest of the Midnight Musings minisodes wherever you listen to podcasts!

At Ejeris’ (@ejeris.bsky.social) ELLA keynote they shared that we must reimagine ourselves, our movement spaces, and our strategy to meet rising fascism. Every liberatory dream needs us to defeat fascism. There are more of us than them; this is within our reach.

Empathy, not shame. Help people see who lied to them and offer real alternatives — jobs, healthcare, housing, and a movement that actually fixes things. Listen to S2E1 with Kenyon Farrow and hit the resource hub in bio to get involved. #TheFascismBarometer

In our conversation with Maurice Mitchell (S2E3), we talked about what's necessary to see change in our country. It's not about what a politician can do for you. It's about what you're willing to build with your neighbors. Get activated by visiting our Resource Hub linked in bio #TheFascismBarometer

We can defeat fascism — but only together. Move beyond listening: get activated and lead where you are. Learn how at our resource hub (link in bio). #collectiveaction #thefascismbarometer #communityorganizing

We need a bigger “we.” In part 2 with Tarso Ramos: resist fascism by expanding organizing beyond our circles — recruit new leaders, build local networks, and turn listeners into organizers. #CollectiveAction #thefascismbarometer #politicaleducation

Living under a fascist regime means we have to work harder to sift fact from fiction.  To make this easier check out our news sources guide and follow the podcast wherever you listen #thefascismbaromter #politicaleducation

In our convo with Darakshan Raja (S2E15), she highlights that under the pretense of national security, administrations legitimize violence. It's vital to question this—“what is legal is not always just.” #thefascismbarometer #communityorganizing #politicaleducation

*REPOST from @ashdashlee.bsky.social* and Instagram 500+ neighbors joined WeAct and we’re 2 actions away from our next community goal. We’re testing the app. Fixing the bugs. Building community. And taking collective action for the common good. weactnow.com #WeAct #Community #CollectiveAction

Struggling to trust people, systems, or news? That's by design. A fascist regime breeds division, spreads propaganda, and silences dissent, fostering paranoia and cynicism. We combat this by building strong communities and engaging in open dialogue #thefascismbarometer

Under a fascist regime, your safety is at risk, especially if you're targeted. We can combat this through community care and activism. To explore the emotional toll of fascism, check out our convo with Erica Woodland (S2E10) and visit our resource hub #TheFascismBarometer

Fascism is rising, but so are our movements. Media conversations are shifting and starting to recognize the state of our country. History shows that fascists fall to people power. Let's increase our activism, protect one another, and keep inviting people to join our movements #thefascismbarometer
