Maine’s female inmates deserve better protection | Letter
Mark LaFlamme’s coverage of the women inmates at the Maine Correctional Center was long overdue (“Maine women inmates accuse transgender prisoner of harassment,” March 4). Men, as a group, pose a danger to women in prison — this is recognized internationally in the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and by the separation of sexes provision in […]

Our president lives in another world | Letter
I watched President Trump’s State of the Union address and found myself asking: “Is Trump living in a glass bubble in another world?” I realize he is talking to his base and making claims to minimize the expected Republican loss in the upcoming fall elections. However, it took the longest speech on record to make […]

Grieving America’s relationship with Canada | Letter
I cannot adequately express my sorrow and embarrassment about what the president has done to our relationship with Canada, a relationship developed through trade, tourism and standing together. During World War I, Canada was involved from the beginning — declaring war in support of England. Canada sent roughly 424,000 soldiers overseas and many gave, in Abraham […]

Hannah Pingree will confront Maine’s housing problem | Letter
Housing is one of the biggest challenges facing Maine today, and it will be one of the most important issues our next governor must address. That’s why I am supporting Hannah Pingree for governor. Over the course of this campaign, Hannah has traveled across Maine listening to residents, housing providers and community leaders about what […]

Trump administration resorts to cruel anti-trans agenda | Letter
Now that Republican policies on immigration, the economy and foreign wars have proven unpopular, the current regime is turning, once again, to its tried-and-true culture-war issue: hatred of transgender people. Let’s be clear, this is an issue that was manufactured by Republican strategists specifically to activate the worst instincts of their followers. Transgender people are the […]

Hannah Pingree for Maine governor | Letter
The other day, U.S. Representative Chellie Pingree said she had a favorite in the race for Maine’s top job: Her daughter Hannah. Hannah is a Democrat, but no party hack. As governor, she will listen and respect people of all political and personal persuasions. She will be the governor of all of us: indigenous, Somali, […]
