Meanwhile in Rio Rancho on Saturday...

I was at the #Albuquerque #NM #handsoff rally on Saturday. The local news coverage was totally absent. I am not a crowd counting specialist but the civic center was overflowing in spite of bad weather. Turnout was in the thousands. Lots of good energy and a wide range of age groups and issues were present.
I have no confidence in what the legacy media covers, or in this case, actively chooses not to cover. At this point I think they are a huge distraction and part of the fantasy of America going back to some previous time of “normalcy”. It’s not going to happen. Those of us who are committed to standing up to the trump authoritarians need to realize this. We are on our own and must find new ways to speak truth to power!
I wish the organizers for #handsoff #albuquerque had seen this post before booking speakers for yesterday. No one needed to hear Keller pat himself on the back for 15 minutes

#krqe reported on the #handsoff protest (4 sentences), claiming “several hundred people” The #albuquerque journal reports “several thousand”. Just…food for thought. https://www.abqjournal.com/multimedia/collection_6b43a00d-1085-4937-bd88-574fbf1141a8.html
Spent the afternoon at the 7000 BC table at the https://southwestcomicbookandcreatorshowcase.com in Albuquerque, a fun mix of creators of all kinds and other assorted comics and pop culture folks — open again tomorrow.
Terrific turnout at the #handsoff2025 rally in #albuquerque #newmexico.It was windy enough I did not take pictures for fear of losing my sign, but I’d say easily over 1000 people? This was even with many of our East Mountain folk under a foot of snow and unable to make it in. #keepitquerque #sanctuarycity #handsoff
The predictions and news are bad for the Rio Grande Valley and Albuquerque. (Also Las Cruces)
As John Fleck says "We will learn a great deal this year."
=========================================
We are heading into a remarkable year on New Mexico’s Middle Rio Grande. Here are some critical factors:
1. The preliminary April 1 forecast from the NRCS is for 27 percent of median April – July runoff at Otowi, the key measurement gage for New Mexico’s Middle Rio Grande.
2. Current reservoir storage above us is basically nothing.
3. Reclamation’s most recent forecast model runs suggest flow through Albuquerque peaked in February. It usually peaks in May.

This fine bird was making a raucous, which is a great way to find birds when they blend in with their background.
Take a listen to the Northern Flicker calls and see what you think.
