You've been organizing for years and have only made friends with private equity executives?

If you're an alignment researcher at Anthropic, you can investigate "model welfare": Does an LLM have consciousness? Does it experience "spiritual bliss"? Does it get sad or distressed? Don't worry about the welfare of the humans who suffer the negative externalities of the AI industry!

It takes a lot less words and more moral fortitude to say abolish ICE.

Democrats should seek out more Blue Dogs to endorse swing district Republicans.

What does this mean? Chinese AI companies are arguably taking safety more seriously than American companies because they release open-weight models and are more transparent with technical documentation.

This actually happened.

As usual, @repauchincloss.bsky.social fails to meet the moment and says nothing of substance. He cannot call for a strong federal AI safety framework or to regulate AI data centers because pro-AI oligarchs like Marc Andreessen fund both his corporate centrist group Majority Democrats
“It’s very fluid,” said Newton Representative Jake Auchincloss, who was the first lawmaker to deliver a floor speech written by AI to call attention to the technology three years ago. “Americans are making up their mind on it in real time. . . . We have an opportunity as a party to marry ourselves to issues that . . . [reflect] both the potential upside and the risk..”

I'm surprised it's not a higher % since there's currently no federal regulations on AI data privacy, model development, nor reporting requirements on the energy or water usage of AI data centers.

Greek news coverage of the MA Democratic primaries is sharper than much of the local political reporting: "In the 4th, Jake Auchincloss prevailed very clearly, 72% to 28%, over the further-left Jason Poulos, who also had a recommendation (not an endorsement) from the Boston DSA."

While the results of last night's primary election were far from the progressive change our campaign had hoped for, over 23,260 voters in MA-4 voted for a platform of Medicare-for-all, dismantling our corrupt campaign finance system, and ending forever wars. 

We were outspent 20:1 in the last two weeks of the campaign by an outside crypto super PAC that coordinated with the incumbent's campaign. The incumbent's campaign was forced to run polls and spend on digital advertising for the first time since 2020. 

More importantly, we forced the incumbent to the left: co-sponsoring the Citizens over Corporations Amendment to overturn Citizens United 16 months into the congressional session, voting against military funding to Israel for the first time, and rhetorically matching the position of abolishing ICE. He would not have conceded to these popular positions if not for our campaign.

I'm proud that we ran a credible campaign with a dedicated "small army of volunteers"  — no paid staff, no campaign consultants. We demonstrated that this self-organizing model of volunteers can be viable, and can be improved in future iterations.

I thank everyone deeply for their contributions — from canvassing to phone/text banking, visibility, writing newsletters, creating social media, and organizing events. The success of this campaign is that a lot of it felt less like a chore, and more like a fun and engaging time with friends and community. 

We will continue to fight because we are true believers.

Election day weather may be dreary but our volunteers and supporters are not! We're holding it down in Foxboro, Franklin, Mansfield, Attleboro, Newton, and Brookline. This campaign has the people, organization, and voter enthusiasm on side. Vote today if you haven't yet (polls close at 8pm)!

We canvass-maxxed too hard on primary election eve and knocked on over 1,500 doors in Newton, Fall River, Dover, and Brookline! We're poised to smash our goal of 30,000 doors knocked. Sign up to canvass or hold signs (poulos.house/canvass) or text or phonebank (poulos.house/phonebank).

Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 31/08/2026
This week we knocked on 8,070 doors from Fall River to Attleboro, Newton, and Brookline. We also sent 27,550 texts and called 540 voters this week. Join our "small army of volunteers" before Sept. 1! Canvass/visibility: poulos.house/canvass. Phone/text bank: poulos.house/phonebank.

Billionaire oligarchs like Marc Andreessen and Epstein friend Reid Hoffman have spent $190K on behalf of the incumbent via a crypto super PAC. The choice in this race is between oligarchy or democracy, corruption or political integrity. Vote this Tuesday, September 1st: poulos.house/pollsite.

Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 31/08/2026
Feeling POUL-MENTUUM in MA-4. Our "small army of volunteers" spent the day canvass-maxxing (1,050 doors knocked), textbank-maxxing (6,700 texts) and phonebank-maxxing (240 calls). Help GOTV by signing up to text/phonebank (poulos.house/phonebank), or canvass (poulos.house/canvass).

Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 30/08/2026
Many of our Gen Z volunteers prefer texting and don't like making phone calls. I get it! But we need to get calls out to supporters and undecided voters to make sure they vote for the progressive alternative on Tues. Sept. 1. Go to text.poulos.house to get started.

Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 30/08/2026
How does a people-powered campaign push back against $190K in crypto PAC mailers sent on behalf of the incumbent? We set a campaign record of 1,700 doors knocked today, in Newton, Brookline, Fall River, Attleboro, Norfolk, and Rehoboth! Join us for canvass-maxxing: poulos.house/canvass.

Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 29/08/2026
The question of the Sept. 1 primary race in MA-4 is simple: Democracy vs. Oligarchy. Trump-aligned Silicon Valley billionaires like Marc Andreessen have spent nearly 190K through a crypto super PAC to protect the incumbent @repauchincloss.bsky.social.

Four more days of canvass-maxxing till the Sept 1 primary. Our "small army of volunteers" hit 1,279 doors today in Brookline, Foxboro, Newton, Mansfield, and Fall River. We need more volunteers to reach our goal of 30K doors by Sept 1: poulos.house/canvass.

Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 28/08/2026
The Protect Progress/Fairshake network of crypto PACs has now spent close to $190K in the MA-4 Democratic primary to protect crypto ally @repauchincloss.bsky.social.

Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 27/08/2026
We're close to hitting our numbers, but we need to lock in to hit 30K doors knocked! Anyone who has the LIT and the WILL, we need you out there! It's crunch time go go go make them feel the POUL-MENTUUM. Sign up to canvass at poulos.house/canvass or phone/text bank at poulos.house/phonebank.

Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 27/08/2026
We are feeling the POUL-MENTUUM! Our "small army of volunteers" were out in Attleboro, Newton, and Fall River today and knocked on 950 doors. We would've reached 1K but we stopped by WARA AM radio to talk about the campaign and urge voters to vote in the Democratic primary EARLY this week.

Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 26/08/2026
CAIR Action knows that the Sept 1 primary election is too important to sit out! Don't wait until Tuesday — you can vote early in-person up until this Friday, 8/28. Find your early vote location and hours: poulos.house/earlyvote.

I have been consistent in calling for ceasing arms transfers to Israel in accordance with U.S. and int'l law.

Our progressive campaign has been endorsed by 14 groups at the local, state, and national levels. Among them are the Massachusetts Teachers Association, the largest individual union in New England. The incumbent has been endorsed by AIPAC and a Trump-aligned crypto super PAC.

Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 25/08/2026
How can we even out $150K in crypto super PAC mailers? Canvass more! We knocked on 600 doors today in North Attleboro, Attleboro, Foxboro, Needham, and Newton! We're at over 21K doors knocked in total. Help us get over 30K by Sept 1st: poulos.house/canvass.
085
Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 25/08/2026
Why is nobody talking about the fact that a Trump-aligned crypto super PAC just spent $150K on @repauchincloss.bsky.social mailers?

Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 24/08/2026
Indivisible Bellingham (MA) and Beyond has endorsed our campaign! They are a group of local activists focused on encouraging and supporting progressive policies and nonviolent civic engagement. Help democracy win by text-banking (poulos.house/phonebank) or canvassing (poulos.house/canvass).
054
Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 24/08/2026
We have a contest between democracy and oligarchy. And right now, oligarchy is winning. The Sept 1 primary in MA is a microcosm of this contest. Help democracy win by texting/phonebanking (poulos.house/phonebank) or canvassing (poulos.house/canvass).

Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 24/08/2026
Through the practice of "red-boxing", @repauchincloss.bsky.social is coordinating with the Trump-aligned Fairshake network of super PACs. The Protect Progress PAC has now spent $142K+ on mailers within the span of a week. This is the first time Fairshake has gotten involved in MA politics.

Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 23/08/2026
"Jason believes our democracy shouldn’t be for sale. While the incumbent relies heavily on corporate and special interest funding, Jason has taken a strict pledge to reject all corporate PAC money. His only accountability is to us, the voters."

Proud to be endorsed by CAIR Action. CAIR Action’s mission is to educate and mobilize Muslim voters, and champion policy priorities that promote the representation of Muslim communities.

Democrats need to signal what their priorities are, and their priority should be as a party for working people.
082
Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 23/08/2026
We crushed it today! Hit 1,400+ doors in Brookline, Wellesley, Newton, and Needham. We have to scale up our canvassing operation because Trump's crypto oligarchs keep spending money on behalf of the incumbent! Help us fight back during this week of early voting: poulos.house/canvass.

Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 22/08/2026
The Trump-aligned Fairshake network of PACs has dropped almost 150K on behalf of corrupt incumbent @repauchincloss.bsky.social in less than a week. This is almost 3x the amount our grassroots campaign has spent in this election.

@repauchincloss.bsky.social has never said anything about the morality of the war on Iran, because he fundamentally is in favor of it, and his previous statements indicate that he is in favor of regime change in Iran.

I support the Social Security Expansion Act, which raises benefits $2,400/year, applies payroll tax above $250K, and extends solvency to 2096. @repauchincloss.bsky.social is not a co-sponsor. He supports benefit cuts by raising the retirement age, means-testing, and privatization.

We are being outspent by the Trump-aligned Fairshake network of crypto billionaires, so we'll need all the help we can get!

Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 21/08/2026
The Trump-aligned Fairshake network spent $100K on behalf of crypto ally @repauchincloss.bsky.social to try to confuse Democratic primary voters in MA-4. Help us to fight back: poulos.house/donate

Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 21/08/2026
Trump-aligned crypto billionaires are sending mailers on behalf of the corrupt incumbent in the Fourth District. The Protect Progress/Fairshake network is spending in Mass. for the first time and have already outspent our campaign in less than a week.

Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 20/08/2026
Volunteers organized by Indivisible Fireside Chat were out in Seekonk to raise visibility of the Sept. 1 primary! Don't like to canvass but do like to hold signs with like-minded progressives? Sign up for early voting week (Aug. 22-28) and primary day visibility events: poulos.house/canvass.

Trump-aligned crypto super PAC (Protect Progress/Fairshake) doubled-down on spending on behalf of corrupt incumbent @repauchincloss.bsky.social. The MA-4 primary is the first race in Mass. the Fairshake network has spent on.
064
Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 19/08/2026
Early voting period in Mass. starts this Saturday, Aug. 22. Make sure to: 1. Check your registration before the 22nd: poulos.house/register 2. Find the early voting hours and polling location in your town/city: poulos.house/earlyvote 3. Have a plan to go to the polls EARLY.

Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 18/08/2026
In this congressional primary, the Fairshake network has decided to invest in this race on behalf of the incumbent. The reason why they're spending on behalf of @repauchincloss.bsky.social is because he has been on the side of the crypto industries.

Jason Poulos @poulos.house · 17/08/2026
Three ways you can help a progressive win in MA-4: 1. sign up to canvass (poulos.house/canvass); 2. phone or text bank (poulos.house/phonebank); 3. make a plan to vote early, in-person, starting Saturday Aug. 22: poulos.house/earlyvote.
