    Send a text 🎙️ SHOW NOTES — SASSY POLITICS Sassy Politics with Christi Chanelle Release Date: Tuesday, February 10, 2026 Episode Title: Pizza, Panic & Power: What the Epstein Files Did to Our Minds EPISODE SUMMARY Pizza isn’t just pizza anymore. In this episode, Christi breaks down the latest Epstein file release, why the word “pizza” reignited Pizzagate, and how raw document dumps plus social media chaos are scrambling our nervous systems in real time. From sitting in leadership meetings while the world feels like it’s on fire, to watching people spiral over conspiracy clips, Christi asks the bigger question: how do we stay grounded when the truth is messy, terrifying, and overwhelming? This is not just about Epstein — it’s about how we process power, corruption, and trauma without losing ourselves. And yes, there’s Super Bowl energy, halftime hype, and a very clear ick list. What you’ll hear in this episode Why the Epstein file dump feels so destabilizing What actually happened with Pizzagate and Comet Ping Pong Why “pizza” showing up in documents reignited a firestorm The story of the man who shot Comet Ping Pong — and his recent death The mental whiplash of living in “corporate spreadsheets vs. moral collapse” A raw clip of public panic — and what it says about our collective psyche Why mental health and alignment matter in moments like this How to care deeply without breaking under the weight of it A hopeful, grounding close you can carry with you Watch & Listen New episodes every Tuesday at 9:00 AM CST on YouTube and midnight wherever podcasts are streamed.

    They Don't Want Witnesses

    Send us a text Episode 45 — They Don’t Want Witnesses In this episode of Human Politics, Christi Chanelle explores what happens when watching becomes a threat. From protest songs that warned us decades ago to the present-day arrests of journalists, legal observers, and protesters, this episode examines how power reacts when it’s being seen. Art has always told the truth first. Music has always carried movements forward. And now, cameras, phones, and witnesses are being treated like crimes. Christi connects history, culture, and current events to her own lived experience—building community in a moment where fear is meant to isolate us. When power loses control of the narrative, it doesn’t debate. It intimidates. This episode is about art as warning, community as protection, and why witnessing still matters—especially when they don’t want you doing it. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER Disclaimer: This episode contains political commentary and opinion-based analysis intended for educational, journalistic, and advocacy purposes.

  3. When Silence Feeds A Machine You Swore You’d Never Build

    JAN 12

    When Silence Feeds A Machine You Swore You’d Never Build

    Send us a text The moment you hear “f*****g bitch” after a fatal shot, the debate about tone is over. We wrestle with the killing of Renee Nicole Good, the immediate spin that tried to rewrite it, and the deeper question that scares us most: why didn’t clear evidence change more minds? We thought proof would persuade and that basic decency would bridge divides. Instead, we watched a system train contempt into a reflex and then reward it in public. We trace how this didn’t happen overnight. From agency culture to political messaging, there’s a pipeline that turns fear into policy and policy into everyday cruelty. We talk through the difference between an officer shaken by a deadly encounter and one who stands firm in dehumanizing language—and why that posture signals a design, not a mistake. The comments under Texas power brokers become a map of belief, showing how identity and belonging lock in support even when the facts are brutal. It isn’t bots. It’s neighbors. And that realization changes how we fight. So we get practical. We lay out steps to push accountability where it still lives: city councils, sheriffs, DAs, unions, and budgets. We talk about moving money away from glorifying enforcement and toward legal aid, trauma care, and investigative reporting. We share tactics to document truth before the spin hardens, and how to protect your energy so you can keep showing up when the headlines fade. If you’ve felt the urge to keep scrolling, this is your nudge to stop. Subscribe, share this with someone who still believes facts can’t move hearts, and leave a review with one action you’ll take this week. Your voice changes what people risk by listening.

    Send us a text This episode marks a shift. Mindfck Monday* is officially retired. Starting now, Tuesdays are Human Politics — a space for talking about how the headlines actually land in our lives, our families, and our bodies. Not just policy. Not just reaction. The human impact. This episode is about why the schedule is changing, why intention matters more than speed, and why some stories hit closer to home than others — especially when you’re a parent watching the world unfold in real time. We talk about Venezuela, fear, grief, and the shared weight families carry when global decisions feel personal. Because these headlines aren’t abstract.  They’re about us. 🔹 New episode of Glitched: Project 2025 drops January 15 The series is moving to a bi-weekly schedule so each episode gets the care and depth it deserves. 🔹 Next Tuesday: another Human Politics episode Where we continue unpacking the human side of the headlines — calmly, honestly, and together. 🎧 Prefer audio?

    The Foundation Was Rigged

    Send us a text Glitched | Sassy Politics Original Series Episode Three The Foundation Was Rigged What feels sudden now… wasn’t sudden at all. In Episode Three of Glitched, we rewind the clock to the 1970s—before the chaos, before the courts, before the culture wars—and expose the moment the groundwork was quietly poured. This episode traces how power stopped living with voters and started embedding itself inside institutions designed to outlast elections. This isn’t about candidates.  It’s about infrastructure.  And once you see it, you can’t unsee it. The foundation wasn’t flawed.  It was rigged by design. ☕ Support the Series If this work matters to you and you want to help keep it independent:  Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/activistchain 🔗 Connect & Follow Website: https://christichanelle.com YouTube: Sassy PoliticsTikTok / Instagram / Threads: @ChristiChanelleSubstack: Sassy Politics(Yes, all roads lead back to the chaos.) 🎬 Next Episode — Coming Thursday Glitched | Episode Four 🕗 Thursday at 8:00 PM Central Standard Time The blueprint gets its muscle.  The movement finds its majority.  And belief becomes a weapon.

  6. Still Here

    Still Here

    Send us a text Mindf*ck Monday | Sassy Politics with Christi Chanelle And That Was Just 2025. 2025 gave us Trump.  Book bans. Media monopolies. AI moving faster than ethics. ICE raids in U.S. cities. Women’s bodies turned into bargaining chips. Conditional citizenship. Courts rolling back rights. Authoritarian language going mainstream. Fear normalized. Silence rewarded. And that was just the headlines. This episode isn’t a breakdown—it’s a pause. A reflection. A one-year review that’s really the story of staying when disappearing would’ve been easier. I didn’t plan to become a political creator. I started this journey grieving my mom, finding my voice, and learning how to tell the truth out loud. But the environment changed—and once you see it, you can’t unknow it. Sassy Politics became a one-woman act of resistance. No team. No editor. No safety net. Just showing up anyway. This episode is about grief, fear, courage, quitting smoking, hitting 10K on TikTok, building Glitched, and realizing that in an environment designed to silence people—still being here is the win. If this is 2025, don’t look away.  I didn’t. And I’m not going anywhere. 🎬 GLITCHED — EPISODE 3 PREMIERES 📅 Thursday, January 1st ⏰ 8:00 PM Central Standard Time 📍 YouTube | Sassy Politics Glitched is a cinematic deep-dive series examining Project 2025, power, propaganda, and pattern recognition—through art, history, and lived experience.
