The Trumps are hardly the first presidential family to profit from their time in power, but they have done more to monetize the presidency than anyone who has ever occupied the White House. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/05/26/world/politics/trump-monetize-presidency-protests/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #donaldtrump #trade #tariffs #republicans #qatar #cryptocurrencies #jeffbezos #amazoncom

Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks – „Die Verlegerin“ (2017)
Im englischen Original heißt der Film „The Post“ und trifft damit den eigentlichen Kern der Geschichte viel mehr, als sein deutscher Titel. Doch konnte die Bedeutung der größten Lokalzeitung der Vereinigten Staaten eigentlich kaum besser personalisiert werden, als durch seine Verlegerin, Katharine Graham, die es verstand, aus dem Lokalblatt einen nationalen Medienkonzern und eine globale Institution der freien Presse zu formen. Bis Jeff Bezos das Steuer übernahm. (ARTE)
If you're not already boycotting Amazon, today would be a good time to start.

The president on Tuesday called the Amazon founder to voice his displeasure with a report that his company was going to start showing how tariffs increased the prices of certain products. But the phone call, according to Donald Trump, spurred Bezos and Amazon to ditch that plan altogether. Afterwards, on Tuesday afternoon, the president had nothing but nice things to say about Bezos while speaking to reporters.
“Jeff Bezos was very nice, he was terrific,” the president said. “He solved the problem very quickly, and he did the right thing. He’s a good guy.”

Die Welt braucht Charlie Chaplin. Vielleicht mehr denn je. Für mich ist er noch immer das größte Genie in der Geschichte des Weltkinos. Sorry, Orson Welles, Stanley Kubrick, Steven Spielberg, Tom Tykwer… alle, die nach ihm gekommen sind, mussten sich an ihm messen lassen. Und lernen. Gute Gelegenheit dazu bietet ARTE in einer Retrospektive mit einigen seiner größten und schönsten Filme. (ARTE)

Amazon boycotts must be making a dent; they’re running tv spots “reminding you that 60% of Amazon sales are from independent sellers.”
Time to open a new store, independent sellers!

Jeff Bezos' tightened control of the Washington Post continued last week with the revamping of the opinion pages to only reflect opinions he likes. Probably good to share this one more time.
#Jacobin: "#JeffBezos has finally dropped the pretense. The world’s third-richest man has decreed that the #WashingtonPost, which he purchased back in 2013, will no longer publish opinions that challenge free market economics. With a casual diktat that would make William Randolph Hearst blush, #Bezos has laid bare what critics have long suspected: when #billionaires buy #newspapers, they aren’t just after profitable investments — they’re buying ideological bodyguards."
