Standing on #Maine’s #overpasses, #protesters combat #hopelessness

Part of a growing national movement, local members of the #VisibilityBrigade set up on a #FalmouthME overpass each week to protest the actions of the Trump administration.

by John Terhune, September 24, 2025

Excerpt: "Over the last six months, the small but growing collective has been gathering on the Lunt Road overpass, armed each week with a fresh slogan and a deep arsenal of flags, signs and eye-catching accessories.

“SUPPORT OUR VETS.”
“DUE PROCESS FOR ALL.”
“SAVE MEDICARE.”

"The highway overpass is, admittedly, an imperfect medium for political discourse. The group’s weekly messages must be short and simple enough for speeding drivers to catch before they race by. Commuters’ responses can’t offer much more nuance than a quick honk of appreciation or a middle finger out the window.

"But the Visibility Brigade isn’t really setting out to change hearts or minds anyway, the group’s leaders say. That task, if it’s possible at all in an increasingly polarized America, is beyond anything they can accomplish from the side of the road. Instead, their goal is to reassure the quietly despondent that they aren’t alone, one wave at a time.

" 'It takes away the powerless feeling,' said Pamela Fischer. 'We want to make this light and positive and welcoming.' "

Yolanda Hadid: “watching my Bella struggle..has cut the deepest core of hopelessness inside me. The invisible disability of chronic neurological Lyme is hard to explain…

“I try to lead by example on our #Lyme journey but my own pain cannot compare to watching my baby suffer.”

If anything could ever make me feel hopeful about anything that seems hopeless, it will be remembering that Mary Lattimore was born on September 11. The person who makes literally the most beautiful music I've ever experienced.

Getting to wish her happy birthday, tell her she's my favorite, and then see her play (coincidentally #lattimore.20) that'll make my day.

Playing Sound and Gravity in duo with Julianna Barwick.

OK, I thought my 2025 bingo card was hopeless when I got it, but I’ve just ticked off “Radicalise every Middle Easterner against Israel and USA for a generation”.

I’ve only got “USA provides military assistance for Chinese invasion of Ireland” left and then I’m done! What do you think? Bit of a long shot? It’s still only June!

Hey, to everyone one of you hopeless lost #Democrats who have @ @stalbaum about my support for the second amendment. I will say it again: unilateral disarmament ends the same way, every time. If San Diego had community self defense maybe it would not go down like this. #guns #secondamendment #2nd

Start building community self defense now, or just lay down and enjoy your #Kristallnacht, idk what else can be done for you.

It seems like the #TimeOfFlowers #season has barely begun and I'm already hopelessly behind on sharing photos! Things move fast at this time of year, new things opening every day or so, previous waves of flowering wrapping up.. These are from 10 days ago, some finished or on the way out..

If your contribution to a debate about rising fascism in the US is "all is hopeless", "we are lost", "all is lost", "this cannot be stopped" or anything like that, then know that I'll take you for a false flag sock puppet sent to demoralize those fighting fascism.

I will block you on sight AS IF you were a fascist.

I don't have a lot of agency, but I can cheer my allies rather than demoralize them.
