A Birmingham-area grassroots organization is back with another digital billboard with provocative imagery to highlight their disdain of President Donald Trump and recent events including the U.S. intervention in Venezuela.

The recent digital billboard north on the Red Mountain Expressway near Highland Avenue features Trump with an outreached hand and the caption, “Grabber. Taking whatever while Congress rolls right over.”

The sign is the last political protest message from Bright Blue Dot, a loosely-connected group of people who produce political protest signs aimed at Trump and his policies.

The signs come a week after U.S. military action in Venezuela and the capture of its leader, strongman Nicolas Maduro and his wife to face indictments of international drug operations.

Trump has said the U.S. would run Venezuela until a transition could occur and would also take control of the nation’s oil operations.

“He doesn’t ask. He just, in his own words ‘grabs,” said organizer Joellyn Beckham, who also designs most of the images. “It’s a hideous quality in a human. It’s proven to be an intolerable quality in a country.”

Wording on the new sign is also allusion to previous allegations of inappropriate conduct by Trump before he was president.

Trump has been accused of grabbing women in the past, and now he’s expanded the habit to include grabbing whole countries, Beckham said.

“At this juncture of his presidency, it seems a reasonable question to ask our fellow citizens, are you okay with this?” she said.

Both Alabama Katie Britt and Tommy Tuberville along with several Republican House members last week issued firm statements of support for Trump’s action in Venezuela.

“This is what America first national security looks like, ” Tuberville posted. “Let this be a warning to anyone who threatens our country.”

On the other side, Beckham and Bright Blue Dot supporters call Trump’s action a contradiction to American ideals. In its place is a march toward domination, she said.

“But this is not peace through strength as Britt claims,” Beckham said. “If it were truly were, shouldn’t we have gone after the biggest offending brute forces first, North Korea, China, Russia? And the president should not be threatening our steadfast allies, such as Greenland, right?”

Since 2025, Bright Blue Dot has produced more than 24 billboards with images and words criticizing Trump, his administration’s sweeping changes, and his political allies, including Britt and Tuberville. Some use humor, while others are more cutting.

In April, the group presented billboards in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa that featured an image of Trump with the message, “Molester, felon grabs UA by the diploma.” Those messages were seen just as the president came to the University of Alabama for a special graduation ceremony that featured him as the speaker.

The poster featured the back of Trump’s head and referenced the civil case where writer E. Jean Carroll accused him of a 1996 sexual assault. A jury found him civilly liable and awarded Carroll millions in damages.

That poster also alluded to an early controversy from a ‘hot mic’ moment on the Access Hollywood television show when Trump was recorded making crude remarks before he was president.

A billboard in October satirized Trump as French King Louis XVI as the group criticized the White House ballroom construction as a vanity project during a crisis at home that was reminiscent of the infamous French leader.

Both Louis XVI and his famous queen, Marie Antoinette, were accused of living opulent lifestyles while their people suffered. They were later beheaded during the French Revolution.

“People in the Birmingham area tell us that they love these boards because they say what individuals cannot,” Beckham said. “Bright Blue Dots are driven to keep our voices in the mix of public discourse. It’s vital.”
