Juneteenth reminds us that freedom in America has always been hard-won and never guaranteed. Today we celebrate Black resilience and achievement, and recommit ourselves to the work of equal justice.

My piece in the NY Daily News: why this Knicks team may be the most loved in New York City history. https://www.nydailynews.com/2026/06/18/new-yorks-love-affair-with-the-knicks/

I’ve never seen the greatest city in the world like this. It must be said: no other sport and no other New York team can bring the city together like this. 🏀🍎🗽 🧡💙

Eastern conference champion New York Knicks! 4 more to go! Greatest fans in sports belong to the NY Knicks! 🏀🏆🔥🧹🧹

Today we remember those who gave everything in service to this country. Grateful for their sacrifice — and for the democracy they gave their lives defending. 🇺🇸🙏🗽

In the U.S., the rule of law is under attack, rights are being rolled back, and too many families cannot afford the basics. Today, @OpenSociety is responding by investing $300M to defend freedoms, advance rights, and create economic opportunity, all of which are critical to protect democracy.

@opensociety.bsky.social is investing $300 million so all Americans can have the freedom and opportunity to live the American dream. 🇺🇸🗽

We are proud to announce a bold new $300 million effort to improve the daily lives of Americans and stand up for the rule of law while freedoms under attack across the United States as we approach the 250th anniversary of the founding of the republic.

This is important context for a potential 2026 blue wave — one driven by non-white and younger Americans (also thanks to Trump's gains with some of these groups in 2024). But we may be seeing a reversion to 2020 — or even pre-2020 — numbers, particularly if these trends continue! 🌊

One of the greatest things you’ll read on Europe and this geo-political moment! Superb piece of work by Ivan Krastev!

Great to be back at Impact CEE in Poznań, Poland to discuss the future of democracy — particularly given developments in the U.S. and Hungary — and reconnect with so many friends, colleagues, and people I admire!

Proud to announce that today, we’re pushing back against this abhorrent rise in antisemitism and anti-Muslim hate and violence.

My father has been the target of antisemitism his whole life. It has only strengthened our resolve to stand against all forms of hate. Proud that @opensocietybr.bsky.social is making a $30 million investment to build trust and solidarity across communities and keep people of all faiths safe.

🇺🇸🗽

Grateful to celebrate two amazing mothers this Mother’s Day. ❤️

Congrats to Maher Bitar! 💪 🇺🇸

Today’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais has gutted a key part of the Voting Rights Act and erased decades of protection. Roe showed us what happens when our rights rest on judicial goodwill. We can't allow voting rights to suffer on the same foundation.

The Supreme Court just made it easier to draw minority voters out of power. That's what today's ruling does. Kagan said Section 2 is now "all but a dead letter." She's right. States can gerrymander by race as long as they call it partisanship, and the Court handed them the playbook to do so.

My statement on Freedom Day:

We can do better than a 'Joe Rogan of the left' — and we have. They're called Meidas Touch, and they're outperforming every benchmark. Congrats, guys.

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has left the world feeling the shocks of higher costs, especially for fuel, as a vital sea lane for global trade has been blocked. This has revealed the world’s vulnerabilities, writes our @laurabdecarvalho.bsky.social in @projectsyndicate.bsky.social.

Happy birthday to the greatest mother in the world. ❤️ 🫶

Russians go home! Hungarians come home!

The people of Hungary have spoken and taken back their country! A resounding rejection of entrenched corruption and foreign interference. 🇭🇺 🇪🇺

"Policy does not produce its own political reward."

On World Roma Day, my father George Soros and I celebrate the Roma people — their identity, dignity, and extraordinary spirit. On April 8, 1971, in the face of centuries of suppression, the Roma came together and declared this day for themselves, an act of unity that echoed across the world.

Happy Easter to all those celebrating around the world! 🐣🐰

One intellectual titan remembers another. There is perhaps no one better placed to write on the passing of philosopher Jürgen Habermas than the preeminent intellectual historian Martin Jay. What an honor to feature Jay's piece on Habermas's passing in Open Society's Ideas Letter.

Chag Pesach Sameach! Happy Passover! Tonight we gather at the seder table to tell the stories and partake in the traditions we have carried forward for generations, reflecting on the importance of freedom and dignity, and reaffirming our solidarity with all those who suffer persecution.

This is a superb piece.

To everyone around the world marking Eid al-Fitr this evening, Eid Mubarak. Wishing you and your families joy, renewal, and togetherness.

The SAVE Act started as a political stunt. Now it's a real threat!

This administration has been a real accelerant and doesn’t want to face this.

This news is abhorrent. I’m praying for everyone at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, and for the speedy recovery of the heroic security guard. We must confront antisemitism and hate-fueled violence wherever it appears.

Half of Americans now support abolishing ICE, compared with just 39% who oppose eliminating the agency, according to a new YouGov poll.

Merz is giving Starmer stiff competition for Best in Show as Donald Trump’s poodle.

“To me, what stood out was Mark Carney — who we praised a lot. He stood up at Davos and said the international order was broken because it only worked for powerful countries... And I think what’s really disappointing about his statement is I guess he was only talking about trade. I guess we don’t...

Why aren’t more Europeans standing up to an illegal war! Same with Canada! They make nice speeches at conferences, but do little. Spain is becoming the leader of the free world!

Our military deserves so much better than this-they also deserve a congress that has their back.

They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge. They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership. We do not have serious people running our country.

A great honor and privilege to participate in the ‘World in Pieces’ retreat and to be in conversation with a philosopher whose work has had such a profound impact on my life, Peter Sloterdijk.

This really needed to be said! Its also 100 percent on point! 🎯 www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Today marks four years since Putin launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and the stakes haven’t changed: sovereignty, democracy, and whether borders can be redrawn by force. Slava Ukraini!

Good news today. The Supreme Court has struck down many of Trump's tariffs. Sadly, this President is absolutely dedicated to making you pay these taxes. He's going to try other ways to keep them in place. I will continue voting to block Trump's reckless tariffs in the Senate.

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.
