In short, it's a big Saturday, but a normal Saturday. A protest at the Capitol and a big football game at Camp Randall. The crowds should flow in and back out as crowds have ebbed and flowed from the isthmus from the beginning of football.
October 18, 2025
This afternoon in Madison, Wisconsin, we've got the Wisconsin/Ohio State football game and the big "No Kings" rally.
Am I worried about the chaos? Here's a helpful chart:

Grok made that chart for me. Is it accurate? I wouldn't say Camp Randall is on the "south side" of Madison. I think we all call that location the near west side.
Only 1 to 5 thousand protesters? That sounds like a pre-disappointment (if such a thing makes sense).
I'd like to see the Venn diagram on the overlap of both crowds.
I'll ask Kamala.
A large drum the size of a small drum. Boiler Up, Meade!
World's Largest Drum
The No Kings crowd will be bigger than 5k, but nowhere near 80k. TDS is strong in WI, but not as strong as Badger Love.
Badgers gonna get their asses kicked. This is not going to be a "normal" football game, professor...
The Masses will be entertained! bwah hahaha!
You guys gonna get out there and get us some pictures? Barricade inside? Stay in the backyard and play? Let's see some content not just GrokAI telling us how things are playing out? (PS: yes, Camp Randall is on Madison's WEST side. Funny that you question that, living there so long, b/c a grok ai machine suggest otherwise... Be more skeptical, proffy? Some say you Boomers can't handle AI because you're not practiced enough with dismissing bullshit -- in a timely manner -- in the real world. That would explain the country your generation is leaving us to clean up...)
TDS is strong in WI, but not as strong as Badger Love.

You're thinking of Golden Earring's Radar Love, perhaps?
Not too much love for this year's Badgers team led by Luke Fickell. Of course, you won't see that in Nebraska, but... #ChangeIsGonnaCome to Madison too. Let's see if his job survives the season?
Ummm... Wear a helmet?
Ummm... Wear a helmet?

Hunker down and send your manfolk out with a camera to record the happenings?
In Boston big protest has been latching their crap marches to other events that will have turnout. Wouldn’t surprise me the Madison ‘crowd’ will get lots of national air time…
The attempts to dramatize the “No Kings” rally are funny. The Trump admin isn’t doing anything to stop the rallies, but for the purposes of promotion, the organizers have to attempt to convince people that the rallies are somehow being suppressed.
You have a march and a rally in Madison? That’s very special. We only have the rally and it starts at 10:00.
No college football game in my town, but it’s the Third Saturday in October down in Tuscaloosa, where you nice cheese people visited earlier this season. :)

A handful of people standing on a highway overpass with a "No Kings" banner, waving little American flags, shouting at the cars below zipping past at 80 mph is precisely the sort of cockeyed optimism that made this country great.
Its more like a python sketch without the punchline
Tickets for the A&M game last week were $200.
One might expect this would lead to massive parking problems. Luckily, the No Kings attendees and many of the Wisconsin football fans are Climate Change believers. I’m sure they gave up their automobiles years ago.
What about the market at the Capitol? Is it still happening? Wish I had seen this news item (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/10/09/travel/things-to-do-madison.html), would have planned the trip? May be need to move my consultancy, or what’s left of it, to Madison.
I hope Antiki doesn't show up and start trouble.
Finally something I can agree with leftists on: We all hate the L.A. Kings.
I would have thought the numbers would be reversed. The last two home games the badgers were out scored 64-10. And Ohio State best team in country.
I would bet even odds more than 10k at the March.
I bet there is not a lot of overlap between the sports crowds and the protest crowds.
So is Trump Hitler or King George?
And what about Elvis?

Melodrama Amazon much?
The MAGA talking points is that the rallies will be chock full of Antifa and there will be lots of violence. And if that isn’t he case how will MAGA spin it?
I am planning a bike ride this afternoon and will be extra cautious using the overpass on East Washington Ave. During the first protest/march/rally the overpass was quite congested with protesters and banners. I was not expecting a crowd on what is normally an empty bridge and about 3 miles from the Capitol. I had to weave my way through them nearly got clobbered by a sign.
MAGA doesn't need to spin anything. At this point, we're just here for the laughs.
How many are expected for the "Yes Kings" counter protest?
Half the fans will be Buckeye fans. Wisconsin football has really driven off a cliff. As Charles Barkley would say "Turrible"
Shouting Thomas said...The attempts to dramatize the “No Kings” rally are funny. The Trump admin isn’t doing anything to stop the rallies, but for the purposes of promotion, the organizers have to attempt to convince people that the rallies are somehow being suppressed.
I also like how it is always referred to as a peaceful protest, even though it hasn’t happened yet. As though it were part of the name—the No Kings Peaceful Protest. They have to keep reminding themselves to be peaceful because it’s so unnatural to them.
’The MAGA talking points is that the rallies will be chock full of Antifa and there will be lots of violence.’
I haven’t heard that at all, nor do I expect any violence.
jim5301 said...The MAGA talking points is that the rallies will be chock full of Antifa and there will be lots of violence. And if that isn’t he case how will MAGA spin it?
Keep telling yourself that. There are no MAGA talking points because they don’t care. Most of them won’t even know it happened.
"No Kings" is a Woke card game where all the Kings are taken out and replaced with 4 more queens... or queers... or non binary... whatever.
Agenda,
--- first set of WI losers meet at the Capitol
--- second set of WI losers meet at the Camp Randall Stadium
Kamala will attend the post-game show to help with Venn diagrams,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=monCaCC3saQ
This is just rehearsal for when they attack cops and ice afents
And if that isn’t he case how will MAGA spin it?
Why "spin" it? It's going to be some large number of people scared of their own shadows, protesting something that isn't happening. Who needs "spin" when you've got reality?

We are having bike week down hereso it could get spicy
If my locality is any guide, the No Kings rallies will be peaceful because they will be mostly the elderly.
The rally should be renamed to “Not WorKing”.
"No Kings" is a musical chairs game developed by former royal Prince Andrew.
Wait. We can't very well call him Prince anymore, can we?
btw, this Jeffrey Epstein fella
has done more from the grave
than any man alive today
Kind of like jacob marley
{{{ raises hand }}}
Can we do a class project and send our best local protest pictures to Althouse and get like a little trophy for the winner? :)
I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.--Otter
Well, somebody had to post it.
Dem: No kings!
Bystander: What about queens?
Dem: Um...it's complicated.
Seriously folks. Whose idea was it to have a "No Kings" protest on Homecoming Weekend?
Is little wonder the kids are so confused now days.
Former royal Prince Andrew, while stripped of his titles and gaudy attire, has been named by Chuckie to be his new Groom of the Stool,

In pinochle a 10 is worth than king. Fox News has no kings, but they have lots of 10’s.
Say No to Kings and Yes to ICE.

Homecoming is over.
The Badgers got shut out by Iowa.
This is going to be a loooong season. Maybe OSU will bench their starters so the Badgers can keep it competitive?
And if that isn’t he case how will MAGA spin it?
Jim, this a win-win for Trump.

It's Saturday. Only the "essentials" are working. Does anybody here in the comments section even remember what work is? lol. Hit the tipjar -- those groceries do not deliver themselves! lol
No Kings, No ICE, No AC/CD.
Let's face it. The new left is all work and no play.
The protest might be more interesting than the game. Based on results in previous games, this should be a blowout.

Pretty sure that was last week v. Iowa. The got shut out 37-0.
Want no Kings? Move to Canada.
They don’t want NO Kings. They want THEIR Kings, but they put up a bad candidate and they lost the election.
I was told that it would be "millions" that I would be joining, if I would only RSVP via the link provided. Why they felt like feeding me that ad was worth the money they spent on it, I don't know.
What do we want? No kings!
When do we not want that? Huh?
To quote Meade: GO BUCKEYES!
In our south Atlanta metro area, the local Democrat groups (stop pretending they’re non-partisan) schedule their protests sequentially so they have time for the chartered buses to get the protesters from protest location to the next.
So, no Schoenling Little Kings at tailgate?
Ah yes another city that has its act together sarc
It shows how out of touch the "No Kings" - really should be "No Brains" - organizers were to schedule it on one of the biggest college football Saturdays of the year. ESPN listed 32 games today critical to conference standings and the CFP. Normal people will be focused all day on the games. The protests, if seen by anyone, will only demonstrate even more how unhinged the Democrat Party is and more voters will be driven away from them.
You hosting the tailgate/protest party at meadhouse? *wink*
In Chambersburg, PA, near us, US Route 30 is detoured both directions for the party. It's a major east-west thoroughfare with a lot of semitruck traffic, mostly toll-dodgers avoiding the Turnpike, but a fair amount of local traffic too. Likewise, Route 30 in Gettysburg is blocked at about the same time.
Key Takeaways
A la king typically refers to a dish that is prepared with a creamy sauce containing diced vegetables, mushrooms, and sometimes meat, such as chicken or seafood. The dish is often served over rice, pasta, or toast points. The term is believed to have originated in France and has since become a popular way to prepare and serve a variety of dishes with a rich, savory sauce.

My older sister is participating in the rally in SoCal. She also forwarded a meme on social media claiming that ICE arrests constitute kidnapping, and therefore a felony. By that logic, any arrest by the Feds for breaking Federal law is kidnapping. Not well-thought through.
Nevertheless, I pray for her safety and that of those who are being completely (not mostly) peaceful. I reserve imprecatory prayers for the organizers and enablers, and the bad actors.

The Badgers deserve to be protested for their John Coatta-era imitation this year. The No Kings thing is an excellent opportunity for elderly people to get some fresh air and stale rhetoric.
Irony alert: The funding for the "No Kings" protests are provided by a small group of billionaires.
Great tweet on the subject
"We traced $294,487,641 to the official No Kings 2.0 partners & organizers...all funneled through the same "Riot Inc." dark-money networks: Arabella network $79.7M+ Soros network $72.1M+ Ford network $51.7M+, Tides $45.5M+, Rockefeller $28.6M+, and Buffett $16.6M+," Bruner wrote on X.

Not Wisconsin's best showing.
A football program in need of a team and a coach.
A 'protest' offering no solution to a problem that does not exist.
I dunno, isn't this at least the third 'No Kings' nationwide rally/protest? The first one drew some medium-sized crowds, the kind that make it almost impossible to get an impressive crowd picture. The second one, as far as I could tell at the time, died without much of a whimper. It looks like, in the modern era (no USAID teat), the budget for advertising has remained almost the same while the budget for rent-a-protesters has dried up, leaving only the delusional passionates. I'm not expecting much out of today. I guess the good news might be that ICE might have a more productive day, if all of the usual nitwits are off protesting kings, somewhere.
Bad football and protests in Madison…..back to the 60’s.
Why are the times in the chart shown in Eastern Daylight Time when Madison is in the Central time zone?
Nothing says organic protest like a few oligarch billionaires funding a rally!! Astroturf thy name is No Kings. lol

In Boise, we'll have Boise State vs. Nevada about a mile away from the no kings rally at the capital - all essentially downtown. It'll be busy on a beautiful afternoon. I was probably going to roll through it all on my bike anyways.
Has anyone else noticed the huge presence of Lime scooters at urban stadium? It's just mind blowing here.
Rallies are okay and constitutional rights of the people to protest peacefully, problem is you should have showed up to VOTE if millions of you going out now. TOO LATE THE FELON is the president because you chose not to vote. I wonder if they had the NO KINGS protest for KING GEORGE? TRUMP surely has record for most protests against him and his policies I'll have to look that up. Another OCCUPY WALL STREET scenario. trump is sending troops into cities to do exactly what some are protesting and the WH downplaying the numbers of people showing up. Never a dull moment. Soon they'll be an invasion of the 10,000 troops in Venezuela, the president of peace? I'll be doping out the upcoming BREEDERS CUP and putting together my wagering port folio for November 1st only(don't like Fridays card) Serious look again at FOREVER YOUN Gin CLASSIC, tired of the normal favorites Journalism, Sovereignty Fierceness ETC time for a Japanese winner ,working lights out!!!
I just drove by our small town (pop: ~8,000) No Kings protest and there were at least forty geriatric whiners out there. Fine work!!
I also have a state-issued Gadsden Flag ‘Don’t Tread On Me’ car tag, so I honked and waved at the silly little losers… ;)
Isn't Andy still a prince?
I've not seen any reports on that. All the reports I see mention his dukdom but nothing of his prince hood.
Ask gemini:
"However, he retains his title of Prince, as that is his birthright as the son of the late Queen Elizabeth II. He was not legally stripped of the title of Duke of York, but has agreed to stop using it and his other associated honors."
So still Duke, still prince. He has only agreed not to use the titles, not to give them up
Ot but another example of the Trump boomerang effect. The fascists and Ante-fascism try to hit Trump with epstein hit Andy instead.
Andy deserves it by all accounts but I still find it hilarious.
And who else is in the epstein files? Barry? Big Mike? Clinton Fer shur

If it's a no kings rally, are they OK with having king chuck ruling our hat?
NO KINGS I NORTH AMERICA! DEMOCRACY NOW FOR CANADA!

Let me see, who else was falsely persecuted for claiming to be a King (and for being an insurrectionist)?
"Your words, not mine."
Trump is like Jesus.™
The irony of No Kings is that the constitution was specifically designed to give us a king. An indirectly elected one, but a king nonetheless. George W’s powers track pretty closely to George III’s powers. And III definitely saw himself as a constitutionally limited monarch. I was watching CSPAN Book TV last night - they are on a USA 250 push. A Harvard historian said that before the Continental Congress did the Declaration of Independence, they sent letters to G3 pleading for relief from the taxes etc. 3’s response was that he did not have the authority to override Parliament on such issues. Twenty years later the Constitutional Convention remembered that and carefully crafted the relationship between executive and legislature. But they still kept real powers in the executive, just as the King still had real powers.
So what the No Kings people are saying is “we don’t really care what Trump’s legal powers are - we want parliamentary supremacy. At least until we get our own King in there.”

I can almost guarantee Fickell will be gone soon, likely before the season is out. When he was at Illinois, they were terrible. Then -- somehow -- he managed to do something extraordinary at Cincinnati. But I still remembered Illinois. . . . . .
Only 1 to 5 thousand protesters? That sounds like a pre-disappointment (if such a thing makes sense).
So a big No Kings rally like a little No Kings rally?
Apparently one of the things they’re protesting at No Kings is the fact that maybe a couple hundred citizens have been detained for a few hours due to lacking or poor paperwork. Heaven forbid a legal citizen should endure a few hours of ICE hospitality when they could be out getting raped, murdered, trafficked, robbed, and/or pushed aside in favor of illegal aliens instead. Honestly, these No Kingsters have not a smidge of a moral compass.
Dinky is getting all madley that Obamacare will shortly stop funding his meth.

"Has anyone else noticed the huge presence of Lime scooters at urban stadium? "
No, but over the last two weeks people have been leaving them in front of my house on the sidewalk very close to my driveway.
its just the latest thing, like burning teslas or wearing multiple masks in public
I wonder who came up with the "No Kings" slogan? It is a curiously weak and vague slogan. The plural of Kings is kind of odd too, who are the other kings they are talking about?
It just generally comes off as weak. The obvious reply is "Duh, so what's your point?" Isn't the heart of the issue some sort of allegation that Trump has done kingly things? But, I thought Trump was supposed to be doing fascist things. Why the switch to opposing kingly things? What's the difference? Confusing.
What kind of king? Britain has a king, King Charles. But Charles isn't very threatening. Is Trump being like King Charles? Why would I come out on a rainy Madison day to protest King Charles?

Capitol punishment is Democratic. Queer, but No Kinks.
Democrats have a No Kings rally planned for today here in Carlsbad, Ca. We were heading to the beach after breakfast with son, DIL and grandkids and we got to serenade three participants with signs on their way to the rally with an occasional NO QUEENS! taunt. They were not happy about that.

You know what? If you have billions of dollars to invest, you can either invest in something, and take the risk and responsibility of making it grow, or you can bet against it, and tear it down, which is far easier, and nearly a sure thing, if you work at it. George Soros got as rich as he is betting against Britain.
So if you are wondering why Europe is making so many decisions that are actively damaging its economy, remember that the politicians work for billionaires who have already made their money, not the people.

By "already made their money" I mean that they have climbed the wall, they are just pulling the ladder up behind them by destroying the systems that made them rich.

My errands this morning took me through the early stages of our No Kings rally and demonstration, at Poplar and Highland--the most high-vis location in the city. There were already several hundred people, with more heading that way, and they were getting a lot of honksupport.
I'm sure they've got things planned for downtown too, but will wait for the local Demedia to report this evening to find out.
https://pjmedia.com/scott-pinsker/2025/10/18/no-kings-nonsense-lee-harvey-oswald-and-the-destruction-of-the-democratic-party-n4945001
The crowd was largely white and middleaged or older, but there were quite a few younger folks too. FWIW the UM football game is at Birmingham and probably won't draw off many protestors; the campus is a short walk from Poplar and Highland and many of the protestors are obvious students and faculty. (I was one, and can smell them from miles away.)
Almost all old, brokedick male and old weathered looking female hippies. Lots of tie dyed shirts and peasant blouses.

A Pussyhat Parade and a gay old time. And no Kings.

Stopped briefly in Beaver Dam off 151 at the McDs. There are about 100 white geriatric AWFLs. Of those, there are about 10 white bariatric males who gender identify as geriatric white females.
They keep sticking their arms out in the road hoping to get hit.
Two of the AWFLs for the "grassroots" event have school jerseys from districts 20miles away...
Another brought 2 kids who are running on the grass 20 ft away oblivious everything...
Only about five Gen Z age 13-27 present. The teenagers are busy trying to raise money for the girl scouts 30 yards away.
The "crowd" has been cheering at cars honking in support...
...except its the same car going around the Piggly Wiggly parking lot because ::checks notes:: apparently they forgot you can read license plate numbers...
The McDs and grocery store employees are all snickering and saying that the morons outside are lazy and don't care.

Look on the bright side, Dinky- when Trump leaves office in January 2029, you No Kingers can pat yourselves on the back that you prevented Trump from becoming a King.
Can we have a "No More Whiners" protest?
It's hard not to interpret the "No Kings" protests as anti-Canadian bigotry.
Speaking of which I noticed in my change this morning a quarter with King Charles on it instead of the late Queen Elizabeth.
The Canadian $20 still has the Queen on it.

Thankfully we have a tolerant President who is not disturbed by such shenanigans. With a Democrat in the WH, such event likely would not be permitted.
If permitted, demonstrators likely be made to stand 6 feet apart. On the upside, as gig workers they would be paid at least minimum wage.

whoda thunk these will create alternative Social Security ?
The MAGA talking points is that the rallies will be chock full of Antifa and there will be lots of violence.
Got a link to these talking points? Apparently, I'm not on the list.
Most of us couldn't give two shits about your stupid, little tantrum. Get a life, already.
its one of those exercises in absurdity, the 'mostly peaceful' protest are the other thing,
"No Kings" is the lamest name for a protest movement. Previously, I had believed "Pussy Hats" won the prize for the most impenetable nadir of incoherence.
they changed it to no tyrants in countries with monarchies,
Well, the riots are usually scheduled after the reporters have filed their stories and are drinking their dinners, and the oldies are tucked into bed.
jim5301, I don't get your point - did you WANT more National Guard presence? Or expect it? Or did you think Trump-sympathizers were going to insist on it? The No Kings organizers have been assuring everybody who would listen that these would be peaceful protests, so why would Trump, or anyone else, bother with anything but ordinary crowd control measures?
Meanwhile, on the MAGA side of the aisle, you're probably catching the vibe that there's quite a bit of amusement at these spectacles and... you know, not a lot of outrage. I'm sure that's disappointing.
No Kings near me ---> big yawn.
If the Buckeyes whoop the Badgers in Madison and after the game the Badger fans storm the field and tear down their own goalposts - that would be the equivalent of the No Kings protests.
Pussy hat is an animal rights issue. #NoJudgment #NoLabels
However, puss in boots, dancing on a hot tin roof, now that's entertainment.

so is this bizarro off off broad way outing over,
I had an errand downtown around 11:00, parked and walked through them - they had grown to about a hundred folks. Very polite, and they seemed to be enjoying the gorgeous day. For some reason, they had an eight-foot inflatable unicorn front and center. Is this something I should know about?
Apparently being pro democracy means you hate America. Not sure I understand that logic myself.
There is nothing more unAmerican than an American politician -- the Speaker of the House, no less -- expressing hatred towards people peacefully exercising first amendment rights.
When Speaker of the House Mike Johnson ran for Congress in Louisiana, he apparently thought he was being elected to the Knesset, not to the U.S. Congress. This is not entirely surprising considering that the single largest donor group to Johnson before he became U.S. Speaker of the House was the "American" Israeli Political Action Committee (AIPAC). Hopefully, Johnson's constituents can help orient him in the right direction in the next election and remind him that he ran for office in the United States. A politician who does not value the first and most fundamental constitutional right, has absolutely no business making decisions that affect the entire nation.
Kak - Democrats assume democracy only occurs when they are in power.
Kak - the fact you cannot be honest -makes you a bit of a deflated court jester.
King has a move
yes jew baiter jeffries is more rich's speed, its in his blood,
Democrats are unhappy that Trump is President, but it's their own damn fault. The allowed their party, or the fat cat donors who pull the strings, to nominate three awful candidates in a row: Hillary, Biden, and Kamala. None of these would have made it through an honest, Democratic primary process. As they say in the old neighborhood, you fucked up.

Lincoln Pedophile Project groomer bro George Conway is also wearing a yellow bandana which is a sign of amber alert: child abduction...
The blatant self-owns of these morons is almost Shakespearean.
well all their rockstars are stark raving mad, I use the term advisedly,
what happened to the bombardment of san diego, these fantasies are getting awfully baroque,

of course, the corporate press would have to spell out who siraj was,
There was a small demonstration in town that was hardly noticeable. The big action was up the canyon -- deer season.
Is it too early to declare the No Kings rally a disappointing failure?
If the Buckeyes whoop the Badgers in Madison .
If?
Well, Trump didn't abdicate, if that's what you were expecting.
’Is it too early to declare the No Kings rally a disappointing failure?’
Did they have a metric for success?
You fight the fights that need fighting. No Kings won’t move the needle at the margin in any immediately measured way. But there are threshold effects in politics. And the marches are necessary to save the constitutional republic.
LOL. They had a No Kings rally today. Outside the US embassy.
In London.
Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm sure you will), but hasn't Trump complied with every Hawaiian judge ruling until they've been overturned?
For some reason, they had an eight-foot inflatable unicorn front and center. Is this something I should know about?
They mocked the Tea Partiers who turned up in colonial-era garb fifteen years ago, but now have inflatable unicorns, rats, frog suits, baby Trumps in diapers, and lots and lots of aposematic hair dye.
"You fight the fights that need fighting."
Yeah- like fighting to keep illegal alien criminals in the country. That kind of fight, right?
What a maroon.
Previously, I had believed "Pussy Hats" won the prize for the most impenetable nadir of incoherence.
Yeah I forgot those. The people who ridiculed old men protesting in tricorne hats during Obama's term are the same ones who wore those ridiculous things.
" Over 2000 protests. National Guard at 2 or 3"
Yes, we are aware that your protests are very well funded by a small cabal of billionaires who desperately want the Democrats back in power, for some reason.
Silly old ladies from our retirement community consorting with terrorist enablers and communists because TDS. Pathetic!
’And the marches are necessary to save the constitutional republic.’
The march was neither required nor essential to our Republic. It was optional and saved nothing.
To put it in perspective, there were probably fewer No King protestors across the entire country than showed up for just one of many outdoor rallies Trump held last year.
Kak: “And the marches are necessary to save the constitutional republic.” Old, wrinkled PBS watchers, Hamas supporters and commies. If we get a contingent of illegals and identifiable convicted felons to turn out, we will have the main body of the Democrat constituency “saving the republic.” Bwahahaha!
those aid cuts really did make the thing, more selective, (ht nigel tufnel) but yeah why high school homecoming and bike week, who threw the dart, those pesky purpoises again,
MAGA laughs, but look at this and see that he actually did it.

"We finally really did it. 'YOU MANIACS!!! YOU BLEW IT UP!' AH, DAMN YOU! GOD! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!"
That these events aren’t turning into Burn Loot Murder reprises is probably a good indication that Trump has their infrastructure on the run. Plus, Black folks don’t give a shit about this. Turning out with White geezers to help the illegals who are damaging their communities is probably not a Black priority.
