🎙️ 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.

Welcome to Mindfck Monday*—because the news should come with a trigger warning.

From censorship and fascist cosplay at the border to a chilling pattern of erasure in red-state courtrooms, this episode unpacks the headlines that scream WTF is happening to America? Buckle up—we’re not pulling punches.

💥 Coming Wednesday:

Woke-ish Wednesday | May 14, 2025
Episode title: “When the Mirror Stares Back”

This one’s gonna sting. On Wednesday, I’m getting raw and real about a moment I had to confront my own internalized racism—and the discomfort of waking up to the ways white privilege quietly shapes our worldview. If you’ve ever asked yourself “Am I part of the problem?”—you’re not alone. Let’s talk about what it means to hold a mirror to ourselves… and not look away.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to MindFuck Monday, because the news should
come with a trigger warning.
I'm Christy Chanel, and today'sepisode is about censorship how
it silences truth, protectspower and punishes the people
bold enough to say what othersare afraid to even think.
I'm Christy Chanel and this isSassy Politics.

(00:26):
I got hit with a communityviolation this week for a lip
sync video that dared to ask aquestion that's on a lot of our
minds why are the ICE agentswearing full masks and tactical

(00:48):
hoods during raids and why dosome believe that these agents
could be former January 6thrioters pardoned by Trump?
Others say they move more likemilitia than federal agents.
Some say they look like the KKKand the truth.

(01:08):
We don't know who they arebecause they're masked.
And when the states show upfaceless, history tells us we
should be alarmed.
But instead of asking thesequestions, I got flagged,
silenced, penalized forconnecting dots they don't want
us to connect.
That's not moderation, that'spolitical censorship, and that's

(01:34):
where we are.
In America right now, videosare circulating of the ICE raids
carried out by fully maskedagents in tactical gear, faces
completely covered.
The official excuse Operationalsecurity, but activists,
journalists and regular citizensare sounding the alarm.

(01:57):
Who are they protecting?
Themselves or the identities ofpeople we wouldn't want in
federal uniforms.
Rumors are rampant that theseare Trump-pardoned January 6th
rioters, that they're militia,that they're affiliated with
hate groups like the KKK andbecause there's zero

(02:19):
transparency, we're left toguess or get banned for asking.
Newark mayor arrested at the ICEfacility in his town.
Newark mayor Ross Baraka wasarrested outside the Delaney
Hall ICE detention center forprotesting what he calls an

(02:42):
illegal and unsafe facility.
He was detained for trespassingon public property.
Let me say that again A mayorwas arrested for trying to hold
federal agents accountable.
What does that tell you?

(03:03):
What does that tell you?
Trump Admin ConsideringSuspension of Habeas Corpus.
Stephen Miller announced thatthe Trump administration is
actively considering suspendinghabeas corpus rights for
undocumented immigrants.
That means people could bedetained indefinitely with no

(03:24):
right to challenge it in court.
This is authoritarianism 101.
If they can do it to them, theycan do it to you.
Court rules DAOs can be treatedlike legal persons under US law

(03:55):
.
The implications the governmentis coming for digital autonomy.
If you think censorship is justabout speech, wait until they
regulate your code, yourcontracts and your communities.
Election betting green light.
The CFTC has dropped its caseagainst Kalashi, the platform

(04:19):
that lets users legally bet onelection outcomes.
Some say it's a win for markets.
Others say it's a legalpipeline to institutional
election manipulation.
Either way, democracy is now acasino.
Either way, democracy is now acasino.

(04:40):
Trump waivers on theConstitution and threatens
Congress.
In a recent interview, trumpwas asked point blank if he
would uphold the Constitution.
His answer I don't know.
Days later, he threatened towithhold federal funding from
Congress if they passlegislation he doesn't like.

(05:03):
That's not a president, that'sa king.
50 states of WTF the JusticeWatch.
Welcome to 50 States of WTF,where I watch the courts, so you
don't have to.
From surprise injunctions tolegal gaslighting.

(05:25):
Here's what happened this week.
A Texas judge blocked parts ofthe Alien Enemies Act from being
used against Venezuelanmigrants.
Enemies Act from being usedagainst Venezuelan migrants
Victory, maybe, for now.
A Columbia student detained byICE was released after filing a
habeas petition.

(05:46):
So yes, those rights stillmatter For now.
Multiple states introducedbills criminalizing protests at
government buildings.
Sound familiar?
Censorship doesn't always looklike a red stamp or a deleted

(06:08):
post.
Sometimes it's a silentalgorithm, a shadow ban, a
masked agent at your door, butif they're working this hard to
silence us, it means we'resaying something that matters.
I'm Christy Chanel.
This was Mindfuck Monday andI'll keep talking until they
turn the mic off, and even thenI'll be louder.

(06:30):
Stay defiant, stay awake, mywoke little crowd, and stay
fucking loud.
Love you, miss you, bye you.
