The Fascism Barometer team presents a new series of bonus minisodes! Ejeris Dixon invites us into a more unfiltered space at the intersection of newfound parenthood and political reflection. As fascism intensifies around the world and at home, Ejeris shares what it means to stay present to both care work and movement work at the same time.
WTF? Wow, That’s Fascist!
Ejeris connects the dots between fascism and war, naming a pattern that has repeated across history and is unfolding again in real time. What begins as internal hierarchy and scapegoating often escalates into global violence. And the consequences are measured in human lives.
Because even in the middle of the night, the barometer is still rising. And so is our responsibility to respond.

One Job
Ejeris Dixon cuts through the noise with a clear and urgent message: we are overcomplicating how to fight fascism.
At a moment when political analysis is everywhere, competing for attention and authority, Ejeris offers a different approach. Not a new framework. Not a multi-point plan. Just a reminder of what matters most.
We have one job.
Build a bigger, more powerful, more connected movement capable of defeating fascism.
Ejeris reminds us that movement building is not abstract, and not reserved for experts. It happens in everyday interactions, in conversations, in invitations, and in the choices we make about how we show up.
Because even in the middle of the night, the barometer is still rising. And so is our responsibility to respond.
