In other news, protesters gathered in Albuquerque and Santa Fe to rally against the Trump administration. Over a hundred people marched through downtown Albuquerque, ending at the Civic Plaza. The protesters expressed concerns about reproductive rights, immigration policies, and the impact of the administration's actions on local communities. This protest is part of the 50501 movement, which aims to organize 50 protests in 50 states[2].
Moving on to the weather, today is expected to be sunny with temperatures around 15 degrees Fahrenheit. This warmer trend is consistent with the overall pattern for February, which has been about 3.4 degrees warmer than usual. If you're planning outdoor activities, it should be a pleasant day[3].
