Madison, Wisc.

“For the next minute or so, we’re gonna have a good motherf—in’ time!” musician Tom Morello told the crowd gathered outside the state capitol this afternoon. “I’m sorry if there are some children in the audience, but the struggle for justice is not always rated PG-13.”

There were indeed dozens of schoolchildren scattered throughout the crowd. Some used protest signs as sleds to slide down the snow-covered hills outside the capitol. Others noshed on macaroni and cheese pizza, which was supplied for free by Ian’s Pizza on State Street out of solidarity with those protesting pending legislation to curtail collective bargaining and require public workers to pay more for health insurance and pensions.
