“ There’s a thing A.R. Moxon does that I’ve watched other political writers try and fail at: he holds fury and tenderness in the same sentence. He names the traps fascism sets for us (the false unity, the offer of easy complicity, the fake peace that asks you to pretend people aren’t being hurt) more clearly than anyone I read. This is the book I’ve been handing out piecemeal for two years, finally in one place.” —Parker Molloy, The Present Age

“ In this absolutely brilliant marriage of storytelling and political insight, Andrew isn’t afraid to speak truth to power. In fact, he gets up in its face in the middle of the cafeteria and challenges it to a fight.”

—Wil Wheaton, author of Dancing Barefoot and Still Just a Geek

A.R. Moxon continues the project begun in his first collection of essays, Very Fine People. Collecting pieces first published on his website, The Reframe, this volume covers the pivotal years from January 2023 to June 2025—a time of national "relapse" into the foundational supremacist traditions that our nation, failing to recognize it as the existential peril it is, failed to dismantle.

Inviting yet unflinching, these essays provide a moral compass for those hoping to move from awareness into action, and those who seek a reminder that, while the darkness of supremacy is pervasive, the beautiful idea of a diverse nation of justice, equity, and equality for all is still being born. A strategy for differentiation rather than a work of passive despair, this collection urges readers to reject the fascist offer of false peace in favor of aggressive celebration and the repair of our collective spirit, and offers a vital reminder that hope is a thing that fights in the dark.
