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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 👇

Today we proudly honor Ukraine's

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.
