Dearborn, Mich. attorney Amir Makled, who shared since-deleted social media posts praising late Hezbollah terrorists as "martyr" and urging Iran to "show no laxity" against Israel, won the Michigan Democratic Party’s nomination for the University of Michigan Board of Regents during the party’s convention Sunday.

Makled will appear on the November ballot alongside incumbent regent Paul Brown after defeating another incumbent, Jordan Acker, a supporter of Israel whose home was the target of antisemitic vandalism in 2024. By contrast, Makled is best known in the university community for representing Michigan students who faced criminal charges after participating in the university's illegal anti-Israel encampment in spring 2024.

Yesterday, in another thread, I mentioned that Minnesota was one of the "emerging green states". (the "green of islam", that is)

Michigan is clearly the other one, at least for now.
