Letter to the editor: Tribal sovereignty debate comes down to justice
In response to the op-ed about ongoing resistance to Wabanaki tribal sovereignty (“Commentary: Can’t we resolve ‘unintended consequences’ of Wabanaki sovereignty?” April 26), I am reminded of the saying once invoked by Martin Luther King Jr., among others: “Justice delayed is justice denied.” Richard Kaye-Schiess Shapleigh

Letter to the editor: Support of trans people is, for me, a matter of faith
I want to thank Gov. Mills and the Maine Legislature for introducing L.D. 1040, which would codify coverage of gender-affirming care under MaineCare. This is especially important now that too many other states are banning gender-affirming care for minors. For those unfamiliar with gender-affirming care, it’s important to know that for young people this does […]

Letter to the editor: Are you a fascist, or are you an antifascist?
Few things in life are clear-cut as this: Are you a Nazi, or are you not a Nazi? Are you a fascist, or are you an antifascist? Either you’re a member of a death cult that wants to carry out genocide, or you’re not. When you decide that you’re not a Nazi, the next questions […]

Letter to the editor: Candidate with most votes should be president
I am urging your readers to consider and support Maine joining the National Popular Vote Compact. It would guarantee the presidency to the candidate who receives the most votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Letter to the editor: War in Ukraine is not our fault
It’s amusing to see some of the old arguments from Cold War days reappearing. Critics — mostly left-leaning — complained then that all this money spent on resisting the Soviet takeover of Europe would be better used at home. Today, it’s conservatives who make this same argument against our support of Ukraine. Another trope from […]

Letter to the editor: Banking on the Maine Journalism Foundation
Having read Bill Nemitz’s article about the important plan for journalism here in Maine (“We need to act now to save journalism in Maine,” April 23), I feel compelled to thank Bill for spearheading the creation of the nonprofit Maine Journalism Foundation. Newspapers and reliable journalism are foundations of our democracy. Good luck with this […]

Letter to the editor: Negotiation has its time and place – Ukraine isn’t it
You cannot negotiate with a war criminal or a tyrant bent on annexing its neighbors.

Letter to the editor: End electoral frustration with national popular vote
Even though I disagreed with his thoughts on the National Popular Vote Compact, I would like to thank Jim Fossel for bringing the subject up in his recent column (“Supposed replacement for electoral college is flawed,” April 23). What can be more frustrating than being a conservative in Massachusetts or a liberal in Mississippi, for […]
