What if resisting MAGA means challenging the status quo, too? Marisa Franco argues that movements have to listen for unmet needs and find ways to address them—without abandoning our values. “I am damn not okay with the status quo.”

What if resisting fascism means showing people more than getting “back to normal”? @ejeris.bsky.social and Mijente co-founder Marisa Franco unpack rising authoritarianism, MAGA’s appeal among Latino communities, and how movements can organize around real needs to build a future people believe in.

What if the real question isn't whether elections matter—but how ordinary people build enough power to govern? This week on The Fascism Barometer, @ejeris.bsky.social talks with Sendolo Diaminah about why organizing and elections belong together—and how we fight fascism by building power.

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.

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.

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

The ICE Out protests are a response to the effectiveness of our movements. This backlash signals our ongoing journey towards a more just society. Abolishing ICE is about ensuring everyone, regardless of immigration status, lives freely with dignity. #AbolishICE #HereToStay #TheFascismBarometer
A white graphic with the logo "The Fascism Barometer" with a paragraph that says "I think it's important to remind ourselves that we are in the moment that we're in because we're actually experiencing a backlash to our movements being effective and winning. That is what's happening right now. So it's not like we have been in a downward trajectory here... we have been in an upward trajectory of making this country a true place where like all of us can thrive regardless of race, ethnicity, et cetera. ” Accompanied by a headshot of a smiling Latina woman with brown hair.
