In response to a recent letter to the editor (We need to wake up, not be ‘woke’,” July 29), I am still not sure what the term “woke” means, only that it is a trigger word for many people. What I do know is that the letter seemed to be lacking detail regarding the writer’s […]

Letter to the editor: Flavored tobacco targets youth. Ban it.
Without getting young people started on a very unhealthy addiction, the tobacco industry would not grow.

Letter to the editor: U.S. AIDS relief funding must be defended from spurious attacks
I was disappointed by a recent WGME story about abortion-related challenges to the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, a global health program that has saved 25 million lives; prevented millions of HIV infections; been integral in helping countries achieve HIV epidemic control; and strengthening global health security. PEPFAR isn’t a household name, and it […]

Letter to the editor: Math doesn’t work out on Trump ‘conspiracy’
If everything that has been written about former President Donald Trump is a lie, how can anyone believe that, of hundreds of reporters covering these stories, some one of them wouldn’t jump at the opportunity to prove they were lies? A conspiracy to hide the truth would have to involve thousands of people. We all […]

Letter to the editor: Angered by candidates’ support of Trump
I’m outraged that so many Republican candidates suggest that the judicial system is being weaponized against Donald Trump. They want Trump’s favor, minions hoping for a cushy job in an administration. They condone Trump’s attack on our country and his unethical acts. They weaken our democracy. They extend and perpetuate Trump’s lies in trying to […]

Many organizations now teach these virtues. Many Republicans reject them. The signature issue in the presidential campaign of Ron De Santis is a crusade against DEI and the closely […]

Letter to the editor: Contrary to letter’s suggestion, buck stops with Trump
An Aug. 10 letter was clear in its opinion but foggy on facts and context (“Letter to the editor: The indictments against Donald Trump are politically motivated, but you already know that”). The letter did not dispute the charges against Mr. Trump, merely complained that President Biden was not facing the same scrutiny. In fact, […]

Letter to the editor: Keep smoke out of drive-thru windows, please
I work at a fast-food restaurant and I know that marijuana is legal in Maine. The reason that I mention the marijuana is because I have noticed that some people, when going through the drive-thru, are smoking not only cigarettes but marijuana also. There are minors working at the drive-thru who are consistently being exposed […]
