During the ICE Out protest at HCC today, a man from Jamaica stepped up to the mic and paused. “I’m feeling really nervous right now, I’m shaking.” Events like this aren’t usually his thing, but to him it mattered to push past his fear of public speaking to say his piece. 🧵

THIS FRIDAY: Sturbridge 6-8 join us for a post-caucus season celebration, pre-No Kings celebration, and just a good time! We’ll have signature papers for you to sign, words from the amazing Colin Brown and Shannon Teabo for State Senate. Be there! Sign up link below 🙌

Richard Neal didn’t go to a single caucus. Springfield? Nope. Holyoke? Nada. Chicopee? Not a chance. Westfield? Nothing. Webster or the Brookfields? Ha! Charlemont, Worthington? Please. He hasn’t held a town hall in Pittsfield or the Berkshires since 2017.

Something is approaching… www.progress.win/choose-your-...

Real people in real positions of power are the only way to break the cycle of corporate elites dictating how we live.

I told myself before I started all of this that if I ever lost track of my principles or values, I was out. And if I ever stopped feeling joy, same thing. There’s a lot of darkness we’re up against, but I’m proud that we’re doing it with smiles and hugs all along the way. 🧵

Campaign team hard at work planning for tomorrow… 😂 🍀 RUNNING FOR CONGRESS! See you tomorrow Holyoke!

Got home and saw a missed call from Zac, one of our amazing students volunteers. My name had came up while phone banking and he left me a wonderful voicemail. Zac buddy, thank you for believing in what we are doing. To our entire team, this is the stuff that keeps me going. Much love to you all ♥️

The Oscars were this week, so we rolled the credits on our 2025 small donor lists to see who’s backing each campaign. FEC data shows the congressman had just 3 small-dollar donors. We had 800 in half the time.

Starting the week off right talking with folks in Springfield Ward 6 🙌 Our movement is powered by real people and real conversations out in our community. Let’s keep that momentum going.

We're rolling out in Granby and Springfield this weekend for two community canvasses! Knocking doors across this district to meet voters is how we win. Whether you’ve canvassed before, or this is your first time, we’ll make sure you have everything you need. Sign up in below! ⬇️

While I’m tremendously proud of the people behind our movement writing postcards and knocking doors, the fact of the matter is that it takes money to print that palm card or buy stamps to send out mail.

Meanwhile, the money spent in the first week of this war alone could fund the ENTIRETY of the $6.3 BILLION in state aid and research grants the current administration cut through the Big Bullshit Bill. This president is a fucking psycho, and we are all less safe and poorer as a result. GTFO.

It’s another busy week for #TeamWhalen’! Sign up on mobilize to join us virtually tomorrow night to phone bank with the team, or in person this weekend in Granby on Saturday and in Springfield on Sunday. There’s something for everyone, plug in and join the movement.

Join us in Sturbridge March 27th 6-8 at Rapscallion for some food and fun at our quarterly fundraiser!

Springfield let’s get knocking! This Sunday 12-3 we are gonna be out and about canvassing, NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED. We pair you up and give you all the instructions and info you need. Sign up in the comments below!

The Pittsfield DCCC at Hot Plate Brewing Co. ROCKED yesterday! Pittsfield has been the city of firsts for our campaign. Our first meet and greet was there, our first canvass was there, and my first speech as a candidate was at the Pittsfield No Kings rally. Much love to you all!

There are so many things I’m proud of in this campaign, but one I’m especially proud of is the coalition of badass women I have the privilege of working with. This campaign honestly would not be as successful as it is without the women around me. (1/5) 🧵

My congressman couldn’t be bothered to show up for the Springfield caucus today in his own backward. Gov. Maura Healey was there. Sen. Ed Markey was there. State Auditor Diana DiZoglio was there. And my team and I were there too. 1/4 🧵

The Northampton Association of School Employees has been part of my life since my very first day of teaching. In both the communications and delegate roles, I looked out for the wellbeing of my fellow educators and understood the true power of the union when I needed it most.

Road trip! Brought ma to Mass General for her checkups, happy to say all her tests came back great! What an amazing staff at MGH, literally life savers and all so kind and compassionate. Celebrating with a little dinner 😊

People standing up for what’s right made this happen. Keep pushing back against oppressive power. Abolish ICE and hold those in charge accountable.

I am once again asking for your support 👓 10,000 at $10/mo and we win this. We are over 500 now! Can we get to 1,000 this week? I need you!

4WD for the win! Headed out to Lee and Williamstown for the caucuses, because when Democrats are meeting we make it known we are right there with them! Berkshires here we come, racking up this MA-01 Madness score 🚐 🙌

One of the best ways to help out the campaign is to get a packet of postcards and write from the ❤️ why you believe in what we are doing. Fill out the volunteer form in the comments and my team and I will drop them off for you! 📬 P.S. can you find the typo in the video? Left it for engagement 😅

Looking for a way to help us reach more voters on Tuesday or Thursday? Join one of our phonebanks! Thursday will be extra fun with bingo! Head to our mobilize page to get signed up 📞 www.mobilize.us/whalenforcon...

The president is a fucking War Pig.

Hopped over to Eagles for the Welcome to the Cookout party, man some intense games of Spades going on! 😅 Good food good people good times 🙌

This has got to stop. NO WAR IN IRAN.

Drive around MA-01 in style with a new bumper sticker! Only $6 in the shop! store.whalenforcongressma.com/jeromie-whalen-10-5-x-2-7-vinyl-bumper-sticker/

Made my way through 16 towns and cities across the Berkshires dropping off postcards and signature papers, then wrapped it up with an AWESOME talk at Williams College! Anyone want a stack or postcards or signature papers hit me up 🙌 📋 🖊️ ✉️

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about the “equal time rule,” so here’s the deal. What do you do with millions in corporate💰 besides luxury hotels and dinners? You pour it into ads to skip the hard work of actually meeting people in the community. 1/3 🧵

My opponent, Richard Neal, is out here dropping $64k on 4-star hotels while we have a housing crisis, and $18k on fancy dinners at a time when people can’t afford food. Meanwhile, we are out here in the community everyday showing how it should be done. 1/2 🧵

It’s simple. People want fighters in Congress. They want someone who shows up for them and appreciates them. That’s why I’m doing this, and I hope you’ll join this movement to bring about the change MA-01 has needed for so long. Read the full article here: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/06/m...

Waited to see how the latest Epstein files release would unfold, and once again it shows how the powerful dodge any real accountability.

Spent the morning in Easthampton at the weekly standout and also got some signatures to get on the ballot!

Double date! Spending Valentine’s Day with the love of my life and my “roommates” 😅 My in-laws do so much for us, so it’s nice to take them out and treat them for a change. Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! ♥️

A little valentine for everyone from Stockbridge to Springfield to Sturbridge! ♥️

We had over 60 people at ArcPoint sign to get me on the ballot last night. This has been a different campaign from the get go. Rather than raise millions and plaster myself on TV and the radio, I’m in the community talking to people face to face, and showing up when they need it.

Stop by tonight from 5 to 7 PM at ArcPoint Brewing and help us get on the ballot! You’ll need to be a registered Democrat or unenrolled, but we can help you register to vote on the spot or switch to unenrolled if you’re currently Republican, my friends have! Have a beer and get stuff done 🍻 🖊️ 📋

My opponent, Richard Neal, is benefitting from a broken campaign finance system that he has no interest in reforming. Join our campaign and we will fight for these reforms: 🔄 Reverse Citizens United 🧑‍⚖️ 🛑 Ban Congressional Stock 📉 🙅‍♂️ Oppose Corporate PAC💰

Hey MA-01, don't let corporate money buy your vote. @jeromiewhalen.bsky.social doesn't take corporate cash and so he will not be beholden to them. He's one of our Courage Candidates.

Jeromie Whalen is running for congress in Massachusetts. Here is his platform. Please check it out. www.whalenforcongressma.com/platform

Yesterday I went to the state office and pulled the papers to get my name on the ballot for the Sep. 1 primary. I showed up as early as I could, and from that moment, our team organized dozens of people across the district to collect signatures in the bitter cold. FULL THREAD 🧵

My opponent Richard Neal has raised over $1.8 million between his committee and PACs, and of that less than $1,000 came from less than 10 people in individuals small contributions. Meanwhile, we raised over $43,000 from over 1,200 from people like you. FULL THREAD 🧵

Love is always the answer. Gracias, Bad Bunny. ❤️🇵🇷

Super excited for the Benito Bowl today at halftime! Don’t think I have any regrets about taking mas fotos though 😅 ¡WEPA! ¡VIVA LOS PATRIOTS! 🇵🇷🎵🏈🔥
