Sassy Politics

Sassy Politics

Sassy Politics is a weekly political commentary show that’s feminist AF, independent, and unapologetically sassy. Hosted by Christi Chanelle, this podcast breaks down the news with sharp wit, sarcasm, and a side of are-you-kidding-me energy. No corporate talking points. No both-sides nonsense. Just real talk about the issues that matter. From book bans and culture wars to reproductive justice, economic inequality, grassroots movements, and clown behavior in Congress—Christi covers it all through the lens of people over profit, equality over ego, and facts over fearmongering. This is the show for people who are tired of performative politics and polished punditry. It’s for folks who care about justice, value truth, and want to understand the headlines without the BS. Sassy Politics is smart, sarcastic, and rooted in real people, real impact—because someone had to say it. New episodes every week.

What do you call it when the President sends military troops into Los Angeles without the governor’s request, then unleashes ICE on peaceful communities under the guise of "order"? We call it Pride, and not the good kind.

In this week’s Mindf*ck Monday, I’m breaking down the Title 10 maneuver Trump used to override state control, why the National Guard showed up in LA without warning, and how ICE ra...

Mindf*ck Monday | 

 We’ve all been gaslit — in relationships, at work, and now... in our government. In this week’s Mindfck Monday*, we’re breaking down how gaslighting works, how it damages your sense of reality, and how it’s being weaponized politically right now.

We start with the psychology: what gaslighting actually looks like, how to spot it, and the long-term damage it does to your confidence, clarity, and autono...

  The White Supremacist Lives Down the Street

White supremacy isn’t a headline—it’s a house down the street.

In this episode, I’m pulling the curtain back on something way too close to home. One of the leaders of the hate group that marched through Kansas City last week? Yeah—he went to high school 15 minutes from me. Lives in Grapevine, Texas. Shops where we shop. Eats where we...

This week on Wokeish Wednesday, we’re not dissecting a book—we’re inviting you to face one. There’s a powerful, uncomfortable, deeply necessary book out there calling white women in—and also calling them out. And if you’re already clutching your pearls at the title? Good. That’s the point.

We’re not here to do the reading for you. We’re here to challenge you to do it yourself.

🎙️ Mindfck Monday | Sassy Politics with Christi Chanelle

This week’s episode is a full-body shiver.
ICE agents are showing up masked—and not for COVID. No name tags. No transparency. No accountability. Just a growing pile of rumors tying them to the January 6th insurrection, the KKK, and the very forces trying to rip our democracy apart. And when I posted about it? TikTok slapped me with a community violation.

Ever felt the backlash for simply telling the truth?

When my TikTok about the SAVE Act unexpectedly hit 500,000 views, the comment section exploded—half love, half hate, and all of it intense. But here's the thing: the truth doesn’t shake people because it’s wrong. It shakes them because it threatens comfort, power, and control.

Mindf*ck Monday – April 14, 2025
Because the news should come with a trigger warning.

The economy’s spiraling, TikTok’s exploding, and somehow I’ve become the main character in a comment section full of delusion. My video on the SAVE Act hit 500K views, and let’s just say—it exposed more than voter suppression. It revealed the deep denial we’re living in.
