On guns, voting and the SAVE Act | Letter
I read with interest “Absurdities of the SAVE America Act are offered in bad faith,” March 25, which enumerated the dissimilarities between the license to vote and car or gun ownership. The piece correctly pointed out the potential dangers of cars and guns and the skill required for proper use, if not ownership, thereof. I […]

Graham Platner will bring the Democrats back to the working class | Letter
I’m a volunteer for the Graham Platner campaign for U.S. Senate because I believe that Graham has what it takes to bring the Democratic Party back to its working-class roots. He wants to take down the billionaire economy and replace it with one that works for the majority of Americans. Graham is out there listening […]

Open questions on war with Iran | Letter
There are a lot of things I don’t know. I don’t know why Donald Trump is unbothered by the fact that Russia provides Iran with satellite intelligence that allows Iran to target U.S. assets in the Middle East, like the recent destruction of a plane on the ground at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi […]

This tantrum, coming from any adult, would be unacceptable. For it to come from the mouth […]

Dan Sayre for state senator | Letter
We could use a state senator like Dan Sayre. I first met Dan as part of my work with a local community group. Our purpose was to: “identify racial bias in ourselves, challenge racial injustice, and work together to build a more inclusive community.” He has been a strong advocate for building a more inclusive […]

Does this presidency have a tipping point? | Letter
Maine voters cast 378,000 ballots for President Trump in 2024. What’s it costing us? The Iran war, so far, is estimated at $30 billion (Maine’s share would be a few billion), mostly for stuff we blow up. Trump promised to be president of peace, to end the Russia/Ukraine war, and now he wants to bomb a […]

‘No Kings’ makes way for Janet Mills | Letter
The governor knows how to stand up to bullies, something Maine needs in the U.S. Senate.
