"I was born a white Protestant with some prejudices," Rockwell said in an interview in 1962, "which I am continually trying to eradicate. I am angry at unjust prejudices, in other people, or in myself." His efforts to eradicate prejudices both within himself and others led him to explore issues of racism, violence and segregation well into his seventies: "The Golden Rule" (1961), "Murder in Mississippi" (1965), and "New Kids in the Neighborhood" (1967) all demonstrate his deep commitment to equality and anti-racism. If Norman Rockwell were alive today, he would be devastated to see that not only does the problem Ruby Bridges confronted sixty-five years ago still plague us as a society, but that his own work has been marshalled for the cause of persecution towards immigrant communities and people of color. We, as his eldest son, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, believe that now is the time to follow in his footsteps and stand for the values he truly wished to share with us and all Americans: compassion, inclusiveness and justice for all.

A group of mostly white Americans stands beneath a billowing national flag, right hands to their hearts. Construction workers crawl ant-like over a close-up of the upraised torch in the hand of the Statue of Liberty. A craggy Daniel Boone in raccoon- skin cap gazes off into the distance against a purple background, cradling his rifle. These are three paintings by Norman Rockwell which recently appeared without authorization in social media posts by the US Department of Homeland Security. They bore these labels: "Protect our American way of life," "Manifest Heroism," and a quote from Calvin Coolidge, "Those who do not want to become a part of the American spirit ought not to settle in America." Norman Rockwell painted over four thousand works during his career, many of them depicting what are considered classic scenes from twentieth-century American life: Boy Scouts, doctor visits, squabbling couples, soda shops, soldiers returning from war, linesmen, and so much more. From 1916 to 1963 he regularly painted covers for the Saturday Evening Post, which by and large depicted only white people. The scarcity of people of color in Rockwell's paintings has led those who are not familiar with his entire oeuvre to draw the conclusion that his vision was of a white America, free of immigrants and people of color. But nothing could have been further from the truth. Rockwell was profoundly shaken by the injustices towards Black Americans that were brought to the forefront during the Civil Rights Movement. He felt an urgent need to raise his voice against the racism and injustice he witnessed all around him. In January of 1964, just one month shy of his seventieth birthday, his iconic painting "The Problem We All Live With" appeared in Look magazine. The painting was inspired by the experiences of Ruby Bridges, a six-year-old girl who had been escorted by US Marshalls to desegregate her New Orleans school in 1960. The painting focuses on a young Black girl in a white dress walking to school surrounded by unmistaken signs of racism and violence. A horrifying epithet scrawled across a wall dotted by rotten tomatoes recently hurled and the burly bodies of the four US Marshalls accompanying her all point to the horrifying historical moment depicted in the scene. But perhaps most haunting of all is the title: the problem we all live with, an eternal present tense, inviting us to engage with the ravages of racism in our society; to open our eyes to the injustice and violence.

It's reportedly been this way from the start. Back in March, ESPN reported on the chaotic process that led to Belichick's hiring—one that began with Belichick telling U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, of all people, that he wanted the job. Rubio then informed North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis, according to ESPN, who passed word along to UNC officials. Internally, they were divided. Athletics director Bubba Cunningham had put together a long list of candidates, including several of the hottest names in coaching, such as Tulane's Jon Sumrall and Iowa State's Matt Campbell. But the university's board became fixated on bringing Belichick to Chapel Hill.

Mr. Bouie, Having been educated as a print journalist in college, and then having become a constitutional scholar and practicing attorney, I have lately been analyzing the news and the opinion-editorials of the popular press. When I read your NYT column re-printed in my Denver Post today, I felt the need to help educate you about how you can do your job better.

Hiten Samtani @hitsamty The team at Colossus is breaking something in magazine journalism in a fascinating way. Let me try to articulate. Even just a few years ago, if you wanted to read a beautifully written, exhaustively reported and actually interesting piece on someone shaping a corner of the world, you'd have to choose from the handful of journalistic outlets that had the ability to deliver them: on the production side, a stable of seasoned writers & editors who knew how to weave narrative, reportage and literary rigor into an engaging longform story, and on the distribution side a sizable audience that appreciated such work. Think: The New Yorker, Businessweek, NYT Mag, Atavist, Wired, The Atlantic, old Esquire, etc. The problem: Such outlets will produce a warts-and-all piece, diving deep into parts of a protagonist's journey that she may not want spotlighted. Journalists are pushed to find the "balance" or "tension" in the story, and oftentimes they force it by going negative/hyping up the bad. The subject that gave the outlet access might come to regret that decision. The alternative might be going to a friendly outlet, however, those tend to 1. Not have the skills to produce a sufficiently high-quality piece 2. Are dismissed as unserious by the audiences you're trying to reach - people can smell a puff piece from a mile away (Sequoia's SBF profile is an all-timer of the genre) So, in sum, your choices as a tech/business mogul used to be: trust a trad outlet with your story and pray they don't come in too hot, or have your message put out with a Pravda type rag and have it be ignored. Both bad options, so many subjects opted to stay on the sidelines and not talk at all. Along came Colossus: It is NOT a journalistic outlet - their mission is not "truth to power" etc. etc. (Zero judgment btw, just facts - I'm an admirer of what they're building). Their mission IS to create the most compelling archive of business & investing content, for an audience of B&l folks, a cozy audience of heavy-hitters. However, the brilliance of their approach is that their stuff feels like the real thing. Their pieces are often exquisitely crafted, deeply reported, produced with a clear understanding of what makes magazines so special. The punches will be pulled, but the reading pleasure isn't sacrificed. And they've hired real talent for it - EIC Jeremy Stern, whose engrossing new Josh Kushner piece is breaking the Internet today, wrote what I thought was the profile of the year in '24 for Tablet, of Anduril's Palmer Luckey. Thus Colossus becomes an incredibly compelling place for machers to trust with their stories. Why go to TNY/Atlantic etc. if you can get a similar level of quality w/o the downside reputational risk? This is content marketing, but done so beautifully that the intended audience won't care. Not a critique of the story, which I read in a single sitting and enjoyed heaps. Just wanted to share some observations of the model and how it's going to box out the trad outlets. Access will be restricted to those whose pens are kind.

You know you live in strange times when one of the most influential billionaires in the world—an investor who lit the financial fuses on both Facebook and the AI revolution, who cofounded PayPal and Palantir and launched the career of an American vice president—starts dedicating his public appearances primarily to a set of ideas about Armageddon borrowed heavily from a Nazi jurist. (As in: the guy who rapidly published the most prominent defense of Hitler’s Night of the Long Knives.)

Dr. Seuss, 1941
Cartoon by Dr. Seuss: At "The Great U.S. Sideshow," two men in suits standing on a platform, one labeled America First and one wearing a large swastika, joined at their beards. A carnival barker says, "And on this platform, folks, those most perplexing people... the Lads with the Siamese Beard! Unrelated by blood, they are joined in a manner that mystifies the mightiest minds in the land!"
