Midnight Musings: Steps 'N Stages
Ejeris Dixon reflects on how fascism advances not all at once, but in deliberate “steps and stages.” Drawing from the words of Toni Morrison, Ejeris explores how the erosion of rights, from attacks on TPS protections and birthright citizenship to the weakening of the Voting Rights Act, creates the conditions for escalating violence and authoritarianism. Ejeris reminds us that resisting fascism requires collective action across communities, local organizing, and the belief that people power can still win.

Midnight Musings: One Job
In this episode of Midnight Musings, 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. You can find the tools you need to fight fascism at our Resource Hub.
