The crowd size is estimated at 15,000, per @cityofmadison.bsky.social.

Speeches are underway at the State Capitol, with speakers bringing up Wisconsin examples: the Legislature on special education funding, the targeting of Judge Hannah Dugan, etc.

A cloth Statue of Liberty towered over the crowd at the "Kick Out the Clowns" protest on Library Mall.

Holding the statue up from the inside is Reed, from Madison, who says he's here to fight against oppression, and especially against deportations.

A paper mache Elon Musk at the State Capitol today during the #HandsOff rally.

The artists behind the puppet have been taking it to outside Tesla showrooms, and around downtown Madison ahead of the spring election.

For that, they added a smaller puppet of Brad Schimel.
