@Jamesliamnordern
This account is a rainbow vault of newsworthy energy with a good dose of pop culture. Run by James Nordern topics span elections, news corporations and many a social justice issue, you’ll feel pretty damn on top of all the hot topics on people’s minds.
@Dumbirchtree
From raising LGBQTI+ issues and everything that’s happening in the UK right now, this account is ruled by an absolute political stan. You can expect comedic takes on Boris Johnson, constant reminders to stand behind the Black Lives Matter movement and representation on screen.
@Neelkolhatkar
This Aussie comedic favourite, is far from his initial Facebook and YouTube days. Although his videos span a heap of categories, his absolute talent and wit delves into some brilliantly iconic political skits on countries, society, Millennials and uh, Christopher Columbus (obviously).
@Youth4climatejustice
If you’re keen to get schooled on the climate crisis (TikTok-style) then you can hit the ground running with “Youth4climatejustice”. This TikTok account is jampacked with heaps of meme-worthy videos based on on the UN Climate Summit, Scott Morrison, social service funding, Adani and everything else worth knowing about.
@Aggressivielyprogressive
Cancel culture, the political compass, economic theory — yes, these are the videos you’ll be soaking up on this account. They’re thought-provoking and will give you a global outlook on what’s happening in America so yes, you’ll beat your mates to the punch when it comes to throwing down some serious political clout.
And here's everything you need to know about the new adult Lego.
