Ayer subí una foto con mi chico junto a un mensaje sobre el mes #LGTB… me dejaron de seguir 10 personas y recibí unos cuantos mensajes llenos de odio. Ergo, hay que seguir dando visibilidad.
Fifty countries looked at 90 missiles, 600 drones, four dead civilians and threats to foreign embassies in Kyiv, and signed a joint statement saying this was, broadly speaking, not acceptable behaviour.
The Trump administration did not sign.
Fifty nations managed it. But the regime in Washington, which has spent months slobbering over the man ordering the strikes, looked at the paper and thought: this is fine. We like this. Keep going.
This is not America forgetting its values. This is a government that never had any. An administration that watches civilians pulled from rubble and sees nothing worth condemning, because the man doing the bombing is the man they admire. Christian values, as JD Vance would call them. The same JD Vance who warns that Europe is committing civilisational suicide. Lucky, then, that the world has Washington to look to as the guardian of civilised values. Or whatever it is you call declining to condemn the bombing of schools and apartment blocks. Presumably something with the word “Christian” in it.
Historians will not be kind. But history will have to get in line, because the people in this administration will never set foot in Europe again, not for work and not for pleasure. No red carpets. No state dinners. No quiet holidays on the Amalfi coast. Just cold stares, turned backs, and the kind of contempt that does not need a translator.

Today, we have new sanctions against those who abduct children and try to normalize it. And the pressure on Russia must not ease. Sanctions work. And the world has power. Please use it right.
From an address to the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children (3/3).
Se le otorgó un Oscar Honorífico por el "efecto incalculable que ha tenido en hacer de las películas la forma de arte de este siglo".
El momento fue especialmente significativo porque marcaba el regreso de Chaplin a Estados Unidos después de 20 años de exilio político. En 1952, durante la era de McCarthy, se le revocó su permiso de reingreso al país debido a acusaciones de simpatías comunistas.
A sus 82 años, Chaplin se mostró visiblemente conmovido y abrumado por el recibimiento. Sus palabras al aceptar el premio fueron breves pero profundas: "Las palabras parecen tan fútiles, tan débiles... solo puedo decir gracias por el honor de invitarme aquí".
Aquí tiempos modernos, su obra maestra:
