On Oct. 18, thousands of Mainers will join millions of Americans for the No KingsRally — a peaceful, nationwide stand for democracy. In America, we don’t do kings. This rally is to reject authoritarianism in all its forms: the glorification of unchecked power, the erosion of voting rights, the use of force against peaceful protest […]

President Trump reminds me of a spoiled child | Letter
President Trump has made some bold moves to secure our country. OK, what’s in it for me? I have not heard of any tax breaks for the middle class. Also, he has made many presidential changes, i.e., renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. Since he has been in office, gun violence has […]

Wake up to the reality of climate change | Letter
Describing President Trump’s Sept. 23 speech to the U.N. General Assembly, foreign newspapers called it “deranged,” “violent,” “insulting,” “incoherent” and “crazy.” I say, “Trump is dangerous.” In his speech he claims that climate change is “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.” Now that he gets no resistance from the courts nor the […]

Where’s the outrage on Trump’s blue state attacks? | Letter
We have a president of this country blaming American voters for not voting for him and for exercising their rights to vote. He is going after blue states and blue cities; going after cumulative individuals who have exercised their right to vote.

Public health relies on vaccination | Letter
This administration is pushing people out of health care programs to fund tax breaks for the wealthy while undermining trust in vaccines that protect us from deadly diseases. That is not just reckless; it is dangerous. I know what’s at stake. In the early 1960s, before the measles vaccine, my son contracted the illness. It […]

Charlie Kirk’s words differed from Jesus’ words | Letter
I grieve for the family of Charlie Kirk and for the loss of his life in our world. I do not grieve for the loss of his hurtful words in our world which represent only his own and other’s selective misreading of the Christian Bible. Recently, as reported in the Portland Press Herald, Mr. Kirk […]
