The Oregonian posted FOUR DIFFERENT VERSIONS of the header for their article about elections in Washington County. Short version: the socialists won. Congratulations Tammy Carpenter and Myrna Munoz!
On Saturday we had a rally against Data Centers at this historic farmhouse that has been completely swallowed by them. There's no way to know how many data centers are being built in this part of the Tualatin Valley because local planners fudge the tax lots to fill space.
There is a new Democratic Socialist in Congress. DSA congratulates our member Chris Rabb on his election for Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District. This victory would not have been possible without the work of thousands of working class people across Philadelphia organizing for a better world. We will be with Congressman Rabb every step of the way in the fight to abolish ICE, free Palestine and win Medicare for All.
ALT Democratic Socialists of America
Chris Rabb Wins!
U.S. House of Representatives
Pennsylvania's third district
Chris Rabb, a Black man with a shaved head and a neat salt-and-pepper beard, looks to the side. He has a warm, confident smile. He is wearing red glasses, a black quarter zip sweater, and a warm grey suit jacket.

“We are drawing a line in the sand today,” Roloff said. “This is our declaration that we will defeat the tech oligarchs and their hand picked legislators."
"We must build an economy that promotes human flourishing instead of the current economy that replaces human jobs with AI, leads to world-historic levels of wealth inequality, and destroys our health and the environment.”
