- Reposted by Alex SorosMigrants 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: 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.
- It is understandable that people would rather forget, as our democracy is forever tainted, and others have conveniently forgotten either out of fear or sycophancy. But in order for this country to remain a nation of laws we must remember, and make sure this never can happen again. 🇺🇸🗽
- Reposted by Alex SorosWishing 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.
- Reposted by Alex SorosOn #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.
- I was honored to host, alongside @penamerica.bsky.social, an event celebrating the new edition of his landmark book Defending My Enemy. First published in 1979, it remains one of the most important works on free expression in the past half century.
- Long after his retirement, Aryeh’s tireless advocacy for the First Amendment — and his belief in defending the rights of those with whom we disagree — continues to guide us at OSF and in work we do.
- 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.
- Proud of my wife, @HumaAbedin, for inspiring so many as part of a powerful conversation on women’s leadership in politics — alongside First Lady of Albania Linda Rama and OSF’s own Pedro Abramovay.
- At a time when women hold fewer than a third of parliamentary seats worldwide, the number of female heads of government is falling, and assaults on women’s rights are ascendant, her voice and example matter more than ever.
- 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.
- From scholarships that helped form a new generation of Roma professionals, to the Decade of Roma Inclusion, and to the creation of the European Roma Institute for Arts and Culture here in Berlin. And as chair, I remain committed to supporting this vital work for decades to come.
- 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.
- My father saw early on that Europe’s march to freedom had to include the protection of all its citizens.
- Having survived persecution himself as a Jew during the Holocaust, he understood that the test for Europe’s new democracies would be measured not only by their constitutions, but by how they treat all their people. He believed deeply in the dictum: “None of us are free until all of us are free.”

View full threadI would like to personally thank Romani Rose for his tireless advocacy, State Secretary Michael Brand and Dr. Manfred Lautenschläger for their remarks and for making this moment possible, and Jewish community leaders in Germany who came to express their support and solidarity.
- 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 —
- I laid a wreath in honor of the hundreds of thousands of fathers, mothers, and children murdered in the Nazi genocide of the European Sinti and Roma communities.
- Reposted by Alex SorosCongratulations 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.
- It was an honor to speak about what Crisis Group has meant to me and my father, in the place that inspired one of his greatest acts of philanthropy.
- 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.
- The human rights movement has driven some of humanity’s greatest achievements. But its very foundations are under attack – in the US and around the world. We need to build new forms of power to ensure these rights are lived realities, not hollow words.
- 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.
