I can be silent no longer. Thank you, Portland Press Herald, for making conscious (and sometimes unpopular) decisions to maintain your standards and keep us informed.
Thank you for featuring more high school sports. Thank you for combining a recent weekend’s two editions into one to keep our delivery person safe and off the road during a storm. Thank you for publishing pictures from the Feb. 15 Winter Extravaganza at Range Pond, featuring two drag queens (and thanks to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife for inviting them).
Thank you for bringing Bill Nemitz back into my life. Thank you for showing the Trump White House’s true colors as they attempt to dismantle our democracy and sow hatred and fear among us. Now, more than ever, we need a free press. Thank you for being there.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
By joining the conversation, you are agreeing to our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is found on our FAQs.
