My office is being Censored. I am not being allowed to call the Iran War a war Donald Trump calls it a war. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth calls it a war. open.substack.com/pub/distills...
Matt Hall’s House Office Is Now Policing the Word “War”
As Trump and Hegseth use the same word publicly, Michigan’s House Business Office told a state representative to replace “war” with “conflict.”

This weekend, volunteers knocked more than 800 doors (in the rain!) to talk to Ann Arborites about public power and collect signatures for the ballot initiative. We were joined by Yousef Rabhi, @davez4thepeople.bsky.social and @dylanwegela.bsky.social!
We do not want another war! Congress needs to take back their power and stop Trump's war.
No War with Iran. There is always endless funding for wars and corporations, but never for the American people. It is immoral to profit off of war, and should be illegal.
Thank you to @dylanwegela.bsky.social , @reprashida.govpeeps.us, Indivisible Downriver United 734, and countless others, for pushing back against the Trump regime's push to construct a new ICE concentration camp in Romulus. #AbolishICE michiganadvance.com/2026/02/19/l...
Lawmakers, advocates say ‘hell no’ to Romulus ICE facility, demand to defund and abolish the agency • Michigan Advance
Elected officials, faith leaders and community advocates called for a halt to the expansion of ICE’s presence in Michigan — including plans for an ICE administrative office in Southfield and a new det...

I will do everything within my power to oppose ICE, and I am committed to organizing with my community against ICE.
Even though corporate bosses try to convince us otherwise, it is the labor of working class people that creates all profits. The Sit-Down Strike serves as a reminder that withholding labor is our most powerful tool.
Michigan’s climate legislation was meant to move us toward clean energy over time. However, the legislation has loopholes that will likely be exploited due to hyperscale data centers high energy usage. planetdetroit.org/2026/01/data...
Today I am 33! Being one of the only people in Lansing to have never taken corporate PAC money, it takes more time to raise money. So if you support my work and want to give me the gift of time, please donate $33 to my campaign relaunch! secure.actblue.com/donate/wegel...

This alone disqualifies Duggan for Governor. We need a governor who isn't beholden to DTE. Insider: Former DTE Energy CEO helping Duggan campaign develop policy plans tinyurl.com/5amcma6u

Wonderful time speaking with the Young Democrats of Michigan at their Demsgiving Fundraiser alongsideState Rep @dylanwegela.bsky.social and Pontiac City Councilman @mikalgoodman.bsky.social!
The moment our Resolution was formally read into the Michigan House. For more than two years, the world has watched a livestreamed genocide.What makes that possible is American-supplied weapons. Michigan taxpayers have contributed over $420 million to the genocide since 2023.
If you are wondering how the Republican controlled Michigan House Oversight is going today. Rep. Jaime Thompson is testifying arguing that LGBTQIA+ students are not being bullied at school. Yet kids are instead bullied for being "pretty".
My statement regarding last nights budget votes. (1/2)
While this “deal” is being announced, I want to make it clear that there are 149 people that get to make this decision not 3. We haven't been provided the details. I look forward to analyzing the budget once it is provided to us.
Standing in solidarity with the Michigan Education Association and AFT Michigan demanding that schools are fully funded and the budget is passed on time! We need to invest in public education not make cuts.
Our government helps fund Israel’s genocide in Gaza. This is immoral & illegal. Electeds & orgs must send a message to MI’s Senators and Reps: demand no more weapons for Israel, allow aid in Gaza, and restore visas for Palestinians.
$40 Billion to one company. $6.24 Billion in state tax breaks. $18 Billion in local tax breaks. $16 Billion in federal tax breaks. With the State portion alone we could buy the Detroit Lions.
We don't have enough money for clean water, fully funded schools, or drivable roads. Yet Michigan’s economic development office offered more than $6 BILLION in corporate handouts to ONE single company, and yet Sandisk still didn't come.
Duggan does not have our interests at heart. Just look to his donors. “A Metro Times analysis of Duggan’s fundraising shows a sizable share comes from donors of President Donald Trump, GOP party leaders, and conservative power brokers with vested interests in state policy.”
Federal Republicans just gave one of the largest tax cuts to the rich in US History. Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer and the MEDC offered over $6 BILLION to a single corporation. This is Oligarchy.
Today, Trump’s bill passed the Senate. If it passes in the House it would cut $930B from Medicaid over the next decade. This bill also makes major cuts to SNAP (food stamp) benefits. We are in the middle of budget season in Lansing. (1/2)
