Great to meet UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband in New York during UNGA week. Inspired by his energy, ambition, and determination to get things done.

Always inspired when I see my friend, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, demonstrating that a different type of leadership is possible, and delivering the results. Glad to see him at #CGI2026 and UNGA speaking frankly and boldly about what real American leadership looks like.

Honored to welcome President Bassirou Diomaye Faye of Senegal to NYC and discuss his new chairmanship of ECOWAS. Looking forward to our continued partnership on efforts to strengthen peace and security in the Sahel and across West Africa.

My doctoral advisor and wonderful friend, the great cultural historian Tom Laqueur, is out with his new book, "The Dog's Gaze: A Visual History," on humankind's relationship with dogs, particularly in art. It is not for nothing that even Joyce Carol Oates, herself a cat lover, called it "superb."

For fifty years, Emma Bonino fought for things everyone told her were impossible — and then she won them: the right to a divorce and abortion, the abolishment of the death penalty, and the founding of the International Criminal Court.

Twenty-five years since 9/11. We remember the innocent lives taken, and the heroes who ran toward danger to save others—many giving their own lives in the process. A day this city—and this country—must never forget. To all the heroes and their families: thank you. You deserve more from all of us.

Nelson Mandela once said, “To be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others." That's the standard for an open society. On Mandela Day, we recommit to it.

Patriotism isn't an end, it's a beginning — "a determination to build what should be." Couldn't agree more with Laleh Ispahani as we head into America's 250th. Worth reading in full:

Paradoxes loom. But the moment we decide that a new generation does not have within it the ability to shape the world it lives in — to shape the future — that is the true enemy of open society. So let us not be apathetic. The future is still yours to shape. Congrats, class of 2026!

It was my honor to speak at CEU commencement, an institution my father founded for those emerging from behind the Iron Curtain. Today, as then, progress is neither linear nor guaranteed. Open societies must be carried forward by each generation. Congratulations, Class of 2026!

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.

For ALL Americans.

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! 🌊
This is consistent with what we find in our surveys too. It's an apocalyptic 2026 environment for Republicans (our "definitely/probably voting" metrics were D+10 a month ago), but one driven by young, hispanic, and nonwhite voters rather than whites/white college voters.

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.

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.

Alex Soros @alexsoros.bsky.social · 29/04/2026
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.

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.
Countries Investing Heavily in Green Energy Have Weathered the Fuel Crisis Better“The effects of higher energy and fertilizer prices, tightening financial conditions, and disrupted supply chains hit countries unevenly. ‘Greener’ countries have fared better—and will be far less exposed during the next crisis.” Laura Carvalho, Director, Programs, Open Society Foundations

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.
