Many of us are tired of old politicians who continually give us the same tired excuses of why the government is unable to provide what the average person wants and needs, but always seem able to provide what the rich and powerful ask for. Many of us are looking for change. It would be nice […]

I’m a lifelong New Yorker. I donated to Platner. | Letter
I never expected to write this letter to the people of Maine. I am a lifelong New York Democrat and feminist who takes my political choices seriously — yet I recently sent a check to Graham Platner, a Maine man and political candidate whose messy back story is now well known.

This week marks four years since the Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade and took away a basic right from women that I, quite frankly, had taken for granted all my life.

I believe Platner stumbled into his tattoo | Letter
I am 77 years old, a Navy veteran, highly educated and was a self-employed businessman for 40 years. In all that time, I always thought the skull and crossbones was attached to a pirate ship, not the Nazis. I have yet to find a single person who knew it was a symbol connected to Hitler. […]
