Exploring the creative power of dissent - and supporting those who challenge the status quo; Unfollow book coming...

@BernieSanders Wrong focus. It’s much less about preventing Trump from being re-elected but implementing real change. What an opportunity missed.

[Unfollow Network @UnfollowNetwork]

Mitt Romney is an unfollower. Hats off! He’ll face an onslaught of criticism in his own party but stood up for values greater than political partisanship.

[Samantha Bee @realsambee]

By voting to acquit Donald Trump, the Senate has set a devastating precedent. Future presidents can solicit foreign interference in an election. They can investigate private citizens. There are no rules. That's not America. That's Outback Steakhouse.

The heroes of our time are the ones who speak up against injustice, state terrorism, inequality and those who try to suppress the truth to stay in power

Acts of disobedience and dissent leading to more humane outcomes. Inspiring indeed.

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

A truly inspiring story.
Julian is finally released from solitary in Belmarsh because the other prisoners in the prison were appalled by his treatment and took up action on his behalf.
A small victory for basic humanity - and it took criminals to teach it to the British state.

Michael Sokolov, Amazon engineer: "Expecting its employees to maintain silence on these issues, and Amazon’s impact on them, is really a reprehensible overreach, and I am proud to take this opportunity to demonstrate my unwillingness to comply." @AMZNforClimate #Unfollow

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are Unfollowers - having followed the expectations of the #Royal household and of the British public for a while, their decision to forge a new path takes courage. It's uncharted territory for the Crown - perhaps a modernising force for good?

[Unfollow Network @UnfollowNetwork]

Social media likes distort how we process information and reduce independent thought - the algorithms feed us what's popular not what's eclectic, and 'social proof' means we tend to follow what others like. Removing 'like' metrics can improve how we engage #socialmedia #unfollow

[Unfollow Network @UnfollowNetwork]

Investigative journalism requires a streak of non-conformism; a desire to oppose the powerful - but @ICIJorg shows non-conformists need to collaborate to be successful

Stand up for what you believe in. Looking forward to seeing what you will do in Tokyo on and off the pitch. Unfollow IOC's policies. There is no non-political life.

[Unfollow Network @UnfollowNetwork]

So deserved! To stand up and be counted. Unfollow applauds you

BBC News - Amazon 'threatens to fire' climate change activists https://t.co/iJUh24FXcZ

[Unfollow Network @UnfollowNetwork]

Standing up against your mighty boss risking to get fired signals the urgency of climate change to people. It also reminds us that only loss of power creates real and necessary change. Well done you. Inspirational.

THREAD/ Jeff Bezos and Amazon executives are threatening to fire a few members of our group after we spoke up about wanting our company to be a leader in the worldwide effort to avert climate catastrophe.

Thanks for inspiring us to stop doing the things we know are wrong and harmful

Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes today!!❤️

Unfollowers often have to cope with push-back from those who benefit from the status quo - support the dissenters at Amazon #unfollower #ClimateChange

@massimobottura @KARYLMT @TakahikoKondo @FoodforSoul_it @UN Dear Massimo, I am working on a book called unfollow-the creative power of dissent where we celebrate people who unfollow the status quo. Your story was the first we published. I’d love to do an interview with you, let me know if you find this interesting https://t.co/9PSbgk51F3

Why TIME chose Greta Thunberg as the 2019 Person of the Year https://t.co/Etsrgjs6Tz

[Unfollow Network @UnfollowNetwork]

An obvious choice but necessary. 2019 will be remembered as the year when the issue of climate change took center stage globally. Greta's humble act of unfollowing was also an act of leadership. She mobilized others around the world to take action. TIME person of the year.
