Didn't they get fenced in?

Grace Serenity

Oh, Dorothy really is getting radicalized in real time! Neat!

Sajuuk-Khar

Please get radicalized safely away from here, Dotty

Andrea Andrew

Yeah, I’m constantly there, Dorothy. I’m also currently there with Jocelyn, minus the possible arrest.

Buck Caldwell

Dorothy, you were planning a life of politics. Are you seriously just figuring this part out now? It's probably a good thing you're changing tracks. You're no good at this one.

Fart Captor

Well at least it sounds like they at least bothered to order them to leave BEFORE fully penning them in

Simon Magid

Maybe not all the exits are closed yet.

Vivian

Is it weird that you wrote this almost a year ago?

Gale Tazzin

dorothy will become the unabomber in a month

Andrea Andrew

This is even more relevant now than when it was written. The protests this year and the Republicans rushing rule changes this year? My goodness!!

Grace Serenity

Sadly, we will not see that, as that would be sometime in 2300, our time

if preview panels are any indication, i'm glad that Dorothy and Jocelyne are going to have at least one conversation with each other after this. getting into activism would be great for scratching Dorothy's various sociopolitical itches without also turning her into an ABPAC mouthpiece. get even woke-er, girl!!!

Mandy Hoskins

Yeah yeah have your crisis OVER THERE

Grace Serenity

She is only 18. No one knows anything at 18!

Megh

To be a bit pedantic Dotty's actually 19, but your point still absolutely stands

Harold

@QueenOfSodor: Agreed, but it's also entirely possible that their conversations might focus more on Dorothy's ongoing Joyce-angst.

Harold

@Fart Captor: Unless that's what the cops *want* them to think. "We gave them fair warning." "But there was no way for them to get out!" "Oopsie-daisy!"

TobyTura

look i know intellectually not every person had their political awokening in middle to early highschool on tumblr dot com but still this is painful for me to read

Megh

@Harold: Por qué no los dos?

Railway Series Book Club

@Harold: That is also possible! Personally I'm not sure I'd pick my crush's older sibling as a confidant re: crushing on their little sibling, but it's not like anybody is a perfect infallible logic machine in this comic. (as much as Dorothy wishes she were, lol)

TobyTura

i grew up an hour away from where Mike Brown was born and then killed so i bristle a lot im general when people are like "wow this is so relevant to today!" because i can't think of a time it wasn't lol

Fart Captor

That's why I said "sounds like" and not something concrete, and didn't assume they aren't already setting fences up to block the remaining exits

Andrea Andrew

How long could the Joyce angst keep going? They seem pretty close to the realization that they love each other. Only thing I could think of next would be figuring out what to do with their boyfriends, one of whom might be understanding and helpful, and the other being Walky. Planning out their future might also be angsty, but we can all currently relate.

Railway Series Book Club

Realizing they have mutual feelings for each other won't end the angst. Like, even if they decided to instantly get together on the spot, Dorothy's got sooooo much trauma in her. No matter what happens, There Will Be Angst, lol.

shiftdruid

ah. it's time for the political-epiphany-fueled-by-anxious-avoidance-of-the-situationship mode

shiftdruid

everywhere is ferguson.

shiftdruid

the path sold to high school kids about how presidents get made is a really persuasive one. dorothy's dedication to the idea is what will make her ever-the-more capable when she unpacks the system and how it works

Grace Serenity

Most people don't care until it affects them personally. And even then, they'll vote against their own interests because they're ignorant of the bigger picture, or it hurts someone they don't like. ESPECIALLY here in the US.

Kelly (they-them)

Fuck 12. And you know what? This is a relatively private corner of the Internet - I hope _ chokes to death on a chicken mcnugget tonight! I wanna hoot and holler about wanting his deserved eventual demise all the time online, but I worry about being arrested for sedition God, I'm having such a bad night you guys, fuck. I should really go to sleep

Kelly (they-them)

We could have another time skip, Grace. We had the big one to second semester but there have been a few little ones before

Maybeeus

So now Joyce has three options. Stay with Jocelyne and get arrested and let Dorothy flee, or flee with Dorothy before getting arrested while leaving Jocelyne behind OR take a third option and stay with Jocelyne WITH Dorothy. The question is she really willing to risk dragging Dorothy down with her still?

Katrina Marie Paton

#No Kings, #Hands off, #March for Israel, #Free Palestine, #BLM, #RickyRenuncia, #Climate Strikes, #Me too, #March for our lives, #Armenian March for Justice, and that's just in the last ten years. So no, not really?

William Lewis

That's called Kettling. While it can be simply a crowd control tactic, it also happens before every major massacre of protesters in the real world. An excellent example in fiction is the Gorman Massacre in Andor S2E8.

Shane Wegner

“Not even when you just said me staying makes it ‘a billion times worse’!” Siblings, amirite?

Girlycore

Jesus, how dare anyone need to learn and change and grow rather than just popping out as a fully formed political powerhouse.

pixarfan9510

Woof this releasing right after the Trump administration said they're gonna start stripping people of their birthright citizenship and DeSantis proudly showing off his concentration camp is...man everything sucks right now

zee

I hope he successfully deports muskrat (the funniest possible end to that man's us political career) and then dies that night from his terrible cholesterol. And that couchfucker Vance coincidentally cracks his skull in the shower the same night

Fart Captor

It's never a crowd control tactic, it's a tactic to give themselves pretense for arresting people for exercising their rights

Donny K

I love her so much my heart is physically growing to accommodate it <3

Jasmijn Wellner

Dotty: *New Yorker voice* "Ayyy, I'm radicalising here!"

Donny K

She is worth the megacardia diagnosis <3

Harold

@Jasmijn Wellner: Thanks, I'm now picturing Dorothy with slicked-back hair and a white jacket and Joyce in buckskin and a cowboy hat

Ph

dude, spoilers
