• Letter to the editor: The people guide the government

    During recent oral arguments before the Supreme Court in Murthy v. Missouri, attorneys representing petitioners Missouri and Louisiana claimed that the federal government had violated First Amendment protections by pressuring social media companies to censor conservative criticisms of Biden administration policies (“Supreme Court faces decision on feds strong-arming social media,” web, March 14).

  • Letters to the Editor: The idea that Black people cannot be racist is preposterous

    To the editor: After reading Clyde W. Ford's piece defending former WNBA star Sheryl Swoopes for saying that Black people cannot be racist, I feel that such baloney should not go unchallenged. I don't care what the Kerner Commission is or how it defined racism in the 1960s. To say that people of any particular American racial or ethnic minority can't be racist is absurd. Racism does not require the superiority in power or numbers on par with white people in America. It can and has infected...

  • Letters to the Editor: Recalling 'very fine people,' who exactly hates Judaism, Mr. Trump?

    To the editor: People have asked if there is no bottom to former President Trump's depravity and mendacity. His recent comment that "any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion" shows we haven't reached it yet. This is the person who said there were "very fine people, on both sides," in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017. Recall that in Charlottesville, people on one side were chanting, "Jews will not replace us." He also said he would pardon the "patriots" who stormed the U.S....

  • Letter to the editor: Apprentices, you're hired!

    Removing the five per cent co-investment payments for SMEs that hire apprentices under the age of 22 is a step in the right direction.

  • Letter to the editor: Presidential firsts

    While Bill Clinton was the first president to send an e-mail and Barack Obama the first to tweet, it is merely timing that dictates firsts.

  • Letter to the editor: Who will stop it?

    Are they really going to be able to strip and rob the wealthy New York businessman and former U.S. president of all his wealth, clothes and treasure so easily (“Michael Cohen: Trump is ‘really angry’ over N.Y. bond situation, lack of control over process,” web, March 19)?

  • Letters to the Editor (3/27/24)

    'Farnsworth Is a Hoot' I want to give a shout-out to Chris Farnsworth and his music reviews, such as [Review This, March 13]. The vast majority of the time, he's reviewing music that I have absolutely no interest in hearing, but his writing is so enjoyable that I read them — often out loud to my partner. Maybe the person in February who complained that the comics Seven Days runs aren't funny [Feedback: "Nothing Funny About It," February 28] should shift to the Music + Nightlife section;...

  • Letter to the editor: Smarter (but not smart) spending

    Rep. Randy Feenstra’s recent op-ed in The Washington Times speaks to why Republicans continue to lose (“Law enforcement officers and police dogs deserve our support,” web, March 22).

  • Letter to the editor: A shadow of our former nation

    It’s a sad thing to see the complete abandonment of our Constitution and Bill of Rights at the hands of those we elected.

  • Letters to the Editor (3/20/24)

    'Not All Bad' Seven Days' yearlong series "This Old State" is admirable in helping to break down some of the dynamics involved with an aging population. However, Colin Flanders' series debut ["Getting On," March 6] fails to incorporate some of the positive sociological developments an aging population may suggest. This may include longer average life spans and longer life expectancies for Vermonters, which could be tied into higher-quality education, health care, and air and water standards...
