Thank you for shining a light on Christiane Northrup’s COVID-19 vaccine disinformation (May 2). Personally, I find Northrup’s gruesome conspiracy theories disturbing. It’s my sincere hope Mainers won’t be led astray by her unhinged anti-vaccine rhetoric, seemingly borrowed from science fiction and horror. The deranged nightmare world Northrup claims to exist is simply not real. […]

You not only pointed out that she was barred from Instagram, but also quoted her disinformation, thus spreading it to others who have not yet heard […]

A quote from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on May 5: “One hundred percent of my focus is on standing up to this (Biden) administration. What we have in the United States Senate is total unity from Susan Collins to Ted Cruz in opposition to what the new Biden administration is trying to do to […]

Thank goodness for inductive reasoning and thank goodness for Pamela Brant’s letter to the editor on May 7, which taught me I can believe the myth that systemic racism doesn’t exist because one Black man in the U.S. Senate said so. Please pardon this total non sequitur: In its history, only 11 African Americans have […]

Even though I’m a Maine Democrat, I am sending off a small donation to two out-of-state Republicans, Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney, as a “thank you” for their courageous stand for the truth against the big election lie and Capitol insurrection of Donald Trump. Regardless of party, we need to support democracy over the one-man […]
