Migrants being blamed for problems they did not cause isn’t new. But the headlines often miss that even in this darkness, acts of solidarity still happen. Gregory Maniatis explains our support of giving communities control when it comes to who comes and how they are welcomed: https://osf.to/3NfJAox

Lawmakers who claim to care about public safety need to stop writing ICE a blank check. Today’s murder was unthinkable — but it shouldn’t come as a surprise. Without oversight, state-sanctioned violence will continue to happen.

Today is the fifth anniversary of Jan 6th—a day that should live in infamy as a violent mob tried to overthrow a free and fair election result at the behest of a sitting president.

Wishing you joy and resilience this holiday season. As we end the year, we honor the people who demonstrated the courage and moral determination to demand a fairer world. We’re privileged to join them in purpose.

On this first night of Hanukkah, I am devastated by the antisemitic terrorist attack on Bondi Beach. May the candles we kindle tonight honor the memory of the victims and strengthen our resolve to bring light in such dark times.

On #HumanRightsDay, we’re spotlighting the young people across the Global South who are demanding governance systems that deliver dignity, equity, justice, and real economic opportunity. Their message is clear: human rights must be at the center of reimagining democracy.

Today, we witnessed two victories against political persecution in America: Kilmar Ábrego Garcia and Letitia James! 🗽⚖️

Horrific news today out of DC. I condemn such violence in the strongest terms and hope for a full recovery for the Guardsmen who were ruthlessly attacked.

This is how it happens: a president calls for his critics in Congress to be executed, and people try to wave it away. This is how democracies fall and open societies fracture. No patriot should accept this. No American should look away. 🇺🇸🗽

As the great DMX once said, “we ain’t going anywhere.”

This Veterans Day, we must acknowledge that we owe our vets more than gratitude. Their service demands that we live up to the ideals they fought for — justice, freedom, and equality for all. 🇺🇸

Always inspired by Aryeh Neier’s lifelong defense of free speech and the First Amendment.

So proud to be a New Yorker! The American dream continues! Congrats, Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social 🇺🇸🗽🌊

Last week’s date night at the Élysée — thank you, President Macron, for another great @parispeaceforum.bsky.social.

At this year’s @parispeaceforum.bsky.social, leaders from around the world gathered to discuss how we can build cooperation and generate collective action when it feels harder than ever to find common ground.

Turns out, the Republicans lying to you about SNAP are the same ones who could release emergency reserve funds set aside for this very purpose! They're treating 42 million Americans like political pawns.

How did the @timesofindianews.bsky.social get this private picture of me and my dad at the office?

For more than 40 years, @open-society.bsky.social has worked alongside Roma leaders, artists, and educators to build opportunity, freedom, and inclusion.

Honored to accept the European Civil Rights Prize of the Sinti and Roma on behalf of my father, in recognition of his tireless work advancing the rights of the Sinti and Roma — Europe’s largest ethnic minority.

Ahead of accepting the European Civil Rights Prize of the Sinti and Roma on behalf of my father — and alongside giants in the fight for equal rights and freedom of the Roma —

Congratulations to our founder George Soros on receiving the European Civil Rights Prize of the Sinti and Roma in recognition of his decades-long commitment to advancing the rights, dignity, and empowerment of Roma communities across Europe.

A tech titan with courage and integrity. He understands the stakes—and leads with conviction. He deserves applause. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/u...

In case you needed another reminder that these attacks have no basis in reality. Even the conservative Capital Research Center — whose report was cited as reason to investigate us — admits it found no evidence of any crime.

30 years ago, @crisisgroup.org was born from the international community’s failure to prevent war in Bosnia. This week, we returned to Sarajevo — where it all began — for our board meeting, joined by every past president of ICG.

Overwhelmed by all the love and solidarity from NYC to across the globe for @open-society.bsky.social at our UNGA reception this year. 🙏

Honored to take part in this week’s human rights symposium alongside Muhammad Yunus, President Musar, High Commissioner Türk, and Oxfam Director Behar.

It was great to catch up my with my friend David Lammy at the Clinton Global Initiative and congratulate him in person on his becoming Deputy Prime Minister.

An honor to spend time with @mariaressa.bsky.social, a Nobel Peace Prize winner who has spoken truth to power on disinformation and the playbook authoritarians use to roll back human rights in the Philippines and around the world.

Great to see the inspiring @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, a force who’s unafraid to push back against this Administration’s threats to our democracy and constitutional rights.

Grateful to spend time with my friend former President Santos — Nobel Peace Prize laureate, President of @theelders.bsky.social, and the leader whose courage and vision helped bring Colombia’s civil war to an end. He’s a reminder of what’s possible with courage, dialogue, and persistence.

It was a privilege to sit down with Prime Minister Mia Mottley on the sidelines of UNGA. She continues to lead the global fight for climate justice, demanding that vulnerable nations have a fair chance to thrive in the face of climate change.

Always an honor to meet with Sviatlana Tsihanouskaya. Her courage in the fight for a free Belarus is extraordinary. Even with her husband finally released from political prison, she refuses to rest until every last political prisoner is out. I'm proud to stand with her in that fight.

L’shana Tova! 🍎🍯 The Rosh Hashanah table has always been a place of joyful memories for me. Here’s to a sweet new year.

Off-year elections decide who runs our schools, our courts, and our states —they matter. And so does your right to participate in them. On Voter Registration Day, take five minutes to confirm your registration. In November, make your voice heard.

The Open Society Foundations have unequivocally condemned the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk. Our thoughts are with his family and all who are mourning his loss. A free and open society depends on people being able to express their views without fear of violence.

Hard to believe it’s been 24 years. Thinking of those we lost on 9/11, their families, and the incredible courage of the first responders who ran toward danger that day. We will never forget their bravery.

The shooting of Charlie Kirk is absolutely reprehensible — such acts of violence have no place in our society.

I spoke with @camposmello.bsky.social about Trump, threats, tariffs, interference — and what all of it means for Brazil. 👇 t.co/6KZxdTieVK

Today we proudly honor Ukraine's Independence Day. For more than three years, Ukrainians have bravely fought for their sovereignty, and for the right of all people to live without fear of tyranny. 🇺🇦

Thank you to our Brazilian hosts for such a warm welcome. Every meeting underscored the country’s pivotal role in shaping a more democratic future in Latin America and around the world. I return home inspired by the partners and leaders who are working tirelessly to make that vision real.

Great exchange with the Brazilian National Economic and Social Development Bank on the future of the global economy. As one of the largest development banks in the world, BNDES is leading the way in sustainable development and climate transition.

Honored to join COP30 President Corrêa do Lago and Marina Silva for a cornerstone event on democracy and multilateralism at the Itamaraty Palace, Brazil’s seat of diplomacy. Grateful as well for a tour of this Oscar Niemeyer masterpiece.

For decades, @open-society.bsky.social has supported partners in Latin America striving for progress.   Today, our commitment must rise to meet this moment by supporting efforts to create opportunities, improve living conditions, and create economic security in order for open societies to flourish.

Grateful for my exchanges with Minister Fernando Haddad; Senator Randolfe Rodriguez; and Chamber of Deputies Members Túlio Gadêlha, Erika Hilton, and Dandara Tonantzin as Brazil gears up for COP30 and continues to chart a unique progressive model for democracy across the globe.

95 years for the GOAT. Happy birthday, dad! 🎂🐐
