New Yorker caption contest, 8 September 2014. (Long before Ozempic and Wegovy were patented.) I will never understand why I didn’t win. #NewYorker #cartoon

This is an amazing conversation with Lis Smith on the #NewYorker podcast, where she lays out the problems plaguing the #Democratic party and it's identity.

"[I]n a May 5 review headlined “Westward Oy! When #Jews seeking a homeland dreamed of #Texas,” #NewYorker staff writer Kathryn Schulz celebrates a new #book, “Melting Point: Family, Memory and the Search for a Promised Land” (Farrar, Straus and Giroux), by British writer Rachel Cockerell.

That headline for the magazine article turned out to be misleading. And by the end of the book, the use of the term “homeland” is downright confounding.

An inventive and enjoyable treatment of the #author’s family #history, “Melting Point” is not a history of the #Galveston Movement by any stretch of the imagination."

Galveston Movement brought Jewish immigrants into American heartland

A new book of family history revives interest in the Galveston Movement, which steered Jewish immigrants to the Texas port for dispersal in American heartland
