The Monday Breakdown
It’s chaos, it’s courtrooms, it’s constitutional crises—and yes, we’re still calling it America. In this episode, we’re breaking down the latest flood of f*ckery from the Trump regime, the ICE overreach you need to know about, and why Texas is ground zero for the next authoritarian power grab. From detention orders during rescue missions to the media blackouts nobody’s talking about—this isn’t just the news. It’s a survival guide.
Mentioned in this episode:
— What Governor Abbott said about ICE and rescuers
— Why TruthSocial is now required to read presidential statements
— How censorship is creeping in through design
— The role of The Chain and why we’re building a lifeline city to city

Episode Transcript
Please join me in a moment of silence.
For the victims of the HillCountry floods in Texas this
week wasn't just news.
It was a flood, literally andpolitically Ice raids,
propaganda, new camps andbillion-dollar censorship
(00:24):
pipelines.
But while they build silence,we build the signal.
We are the media.
Now.
I'm Christy Chanel and welcometo Mind Fuck Monday, because the
news should come with a triggerwarning.
I'm Christy Chanel and this isSassy Politics.
(00:44):
I've been off the mic for twoweeks and it's not because I'm
burned out, it's because I'mactually fired up.
I've been building somethingreal, something you're probably
(01:06):
a part of, but if you're not, Iwant you to be.
It's called Activist Chain.
Today I'm walking you throughthe headlines that have had us
all screaming what the fuck?
Why Kerr County, texas, turneddown life-saving funds, the
(01:29):
Epstein list, hypocrisy, and whyI believe TikTok will go dark
for me.
Let's start right here, at home.
I live in Texas, so when HillCounty flooded last week, it was
my reality, it was my state.
Kerr County officials turneddown funds, emergency
preparedness funds.
Why?
Why would you do that?
(01:51):
Because it came from Democrats,not because it wasn't needed,
not because it was wasteful,just because of who offered the
help.
And then you have Ted Cruz.
Ted Cruz is our senator.
And the very same day youcannot make this up the very
(02:12):
same day, july 4th, thatPresident Trump was signing the
to slash $200 million from ourwarning systems, ted Cruz, same
(02:43):
day, same freaking day, itpasses into law.
It's unbelievable.
It's unbelievable.
That's not leadership.
We all know that.
It's sabotage.
It's sabotage because it'sabout cutting billionaires taxes
.
I'm going to keep going.
It's cruelty.
(03:04):
It's cruelty for the peoplewhere I live, but it's not only
cruelty from our senator.
It's cruelty from the peoplethat Kerr County trusts.
There is footage and video ofpeople speaking in 2021 about
how they will not be acceptingthose funds.
Yeah, there's a lot to that,but I can just tell you that the
(03:30):
mind of some people is sotwisted that it actually works
against you as a community.
It works against you.
Love thy neighbor.
These are like Bible thumpingpeople Love thy neighbor, not
(03:52):
drown them.
Let's talk about truth socialfor a second.
On July 11th, trump postedagain.
He queued up ICE raids, andthen he did something even more
dangerous he removed publicaccess.
Yeah, because I was actuallyhearing about this on TikTok and
(04:12):
I wanted to clip a picture ofthe actual Truth Social post by
Trump because it's official,like I want people to know.
I didn't make this up.
It came from his own keyboardand I couldn't get into.
I couldn't get into the site.
It was asking me for an accountsign up and I was.
(04:37):
It's our president, you know Ican't, I don't do I want to make
an account sign up?
Do I want my information inthere?
I mean, it's a whole big thing.
He removed public access andnow you have to be a registered
member just to read thepresident's words.
And they took off the timestamps.
No date and no time.
(04:57):
No public record.
That's calculated.
That's intentional.
That's how dictators operate,because when you erase time, you
erase accountability.
Erase time, you eraseaccountability.
(05:18):
And in that post, he gave ICEpermission to act as they see
fit towards protesters.
That's authoritarianism, plainand simple.
And then there's Epstein.
People inside Trump's regime arenow talking about resigning
because Pam Bondi won't releasethe files.
Why?
Because they know what's inthem.
Let's not forget Trump andEpstein are already tied to
(05:42):
underage girls.
That's not a theory.
That's documented in 2016.
So if you're out here demandingthe list but still supporting
the predator in chief, you'renot asking for justice.
You're asking for a distractionand for the people that are
pointing at Pam Bondi to resignand to leave her place as the
(06:06):
attorney general.
You're looking in the wrongspot and I don't know why.
I'm very curious to know.
You already know she's not inthe files.
You already know she's the onewho's doing the bidding for
somebody else.
She's not choosing not torelease the files.
They're telling her not to.
So why are you going after her?
(06:26):
You already know it's not her.
It's not her.
She's a scapegoat.
You know that.
So the people that are doingthat, it's because they don't
want to look in the mirror andthink, oh my God, I voted for
this, it's my fault, I voted forthis.
(06:47):
Dude, you need to.
You need to look in the mirrorright fucking now, right now,
and realize you're not going toget the list.
You're not going to get thelist Now.
Let's move on to TikTok and thisnew thing called M2.
Oracle is investing in it andthey're calling it an American
(07:09):
TikTok.
My guess it's MAGA.
M stands for MAGA 2.0.
Tiktok did come out and denythis is happening and that
matters.
But let's be real.
Oracle's already the middlemanwith TikTok data.
So, regardless of the denial, Ibelieve this is moving forward.
(07:29):
M2 could easily become agovernment-used tool, just like
Truth Social, which Trump owns.
They want the algorithm, theywant the platform, they want
control.
But I'm not scared becausewe're building something better.
We are the media now.
We are the signal, we are thewarning system, and we're doing
(07:55):
it without billion-dollarpockets or corporate censorship.
That's what Activist Chain is.
So let me give you the phase oneupdate.
In Texas, california, florida,new York, missouri, oregon,
(08:15):
oklahoma and Illinois, we evenhave two Canadians on board.
There's more.
There's more states, there'smore people.
This is just the summary.
People are in legislation,people are in law, people in
organizing.
We have so many differentpeople that are offering up
their expertise and experienceand I am humbled and honored to
(08:38):
have them on board.
They trust me and I will takecare of that with everything
that I have.
It means something to me.
I serve you and I'm so happythat you're here to walk
alongside me as we buildsomething so very important.
This is the prep stage.
(08:59):
Even if you don't completelyunderstand it, you have to know
that you need it.
You need city to city contact.
We need it for whatever itturns into.
We link city to city.
When the news won't cover it.
We are a protest, but we do itthrough media and behind the
(09:21):
scenes, we protect each other.
Some meetings will never bepublic, and they shouldn't be,
but what we do share is power.
We're not trying to replace MayDay or People's Sick Day.
We're standing right next tothem.
We don't have an affiliation,but we could also be a part of
(09:43):
that.
There's power in numbers,there's power in people, and we
should be a part of that.
It's not one or the other, it'sboth.
So, although they don't knowabout activist chain, we do so.
Be a part of everything, be apart of as many things as you
(10:03):
feel you need to be, becausethem plus us equals power.
Yeah, I'm here for it Allfreaking day long.
I'm here for it.
We're standing right next tothem.
We I align with every movementthat centers truth.
But our mission is different.
(10:25):
We don't just hold signs, webuild the megaphone, we protest
with podcasts, we march withmicrophones, we warn with words.
So, yeah, I've been gone, andnow you know why.
Sassy politics is my microphone, but activist chain is my
(10:47):
mission.
This podcast will always be myfavorite space because I get to
talk to you, not at you.
My favorite space because I getto talk to you, not at you,
with you.
This is where we process thechaos and remember that we're
not crazy, we're awake and we'renot alone.
To every person who signed upthis week, to every state that
linked up, to every message thatsaid I thought I was alone, you
(11:12):
are not.
We're here, we're loud, we'relinked.
And this, this, is only phaseone.
I'm Christy Chanel, first linkactivist chain, dallas, texas.
This has been MindFuck Mondayand next week we go even louder.
(11:35):
Love you, miss you.
Bye, we'll be right back, thankyou you.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
