Do you want schools run by parents or by the system? What's your [prickly] take?🌵❌🔥

When Democrats talk about education, here’s the question Eddie thinks we should demand an answer to: do you support real local control, or do you support a standardized factory model?

Takeaway from the clip: accountability starts at the community level. Eddie argues parents and local leaders can shape outcomes for kids in a way big district systems cannot, and voters should press every candidate to pick a side instead of hiding behind slogans.

🌵❌🔥 Are charter schools really the opposite of public schools, or are they one way to make public education more accountable to families?

The fight is not left vs right. It is kids vs systems. Eddie’s point is that public charter schools were built as a Democratic idea rooted in hyper local control so communities can design schools around real student needs instead of one size fits all district rules.

He runs the timeline from Minnesota’s 1988 law to the New Democratic agenda in the 1990s, the 1996 platform endorsement, and Al Gore in 2000 calling to triple public charter schools nationwide. Love charters or hate them, the origin story matters because it changes what we are actually arguing about.

Where do you stand, and what do you think public education needs most right now?

🌵❌🔥 Eddie Ableser breaks down what blood libel means historically and why he argues the term still matters right now.

Blood libel is a medieval lie used to demonize Jews
Eddie says when people repeat modern narratives that target Jews, the harm is real even when they think they are being progressive

Is Eddie right to call this blood libel, or is that the wrong term. Tell us why.

🌵❌🔥 Eddie Ableser is not tiptoeing here: he says Democratic presidential candidates have a problem and the strategy of ignoring it is already backfiring.

Eddie Ableser argues the party cannot keep protecting its extreme fringe out of fear of losing a faction, then act surprised when swing voters hear the loudest voices and assume they represent the whole coalition. His point is simple: draw the line, defend core Democratic values, and stop handing Republicans an easy path to the White House.

🌵❌🔥 Prickly take time: Eddie Ableser says Democratic presidential candidates have a Hasan Piker problem and pretending it is not there will not make it go away.

Eddie Ableser argues the party keeps tiptoeing around its most extreme edges out of fear of backlash, and that hesitation is exactly what Republicans will use as a shortcut to paint the whole ticket as out of touch with everyday voters.

🌵❌🔥 NEW BLOG on Cactus Crossfire: Why is Eddie a Democrat? The case starts with public education.

Eddie Ableser makes the argument for real local control, why public charter schools are public schools, and why the party keeps getting stuck defending an outdated industrial model instead of building what kids actually need now. He also gets prickly about what Democratic candidates are ignoring and why it is costing them.

New Mexico Gaming: Fair Play or Tribal Trouble.🌵❌🔥

NEW EPISODE OUT NOW.

In this clip, Sisto lays out his baseline for prediction markets in New Mexico. He says he does not have a problem with prediction markets as long as everyone is playing by the same rules. That is the condition.

He also puts the debate in New Mexico context. Gaming has been part of the state for a long time, and tribal gaming is a major part of the modern landscape. The question is not just whether prediction markets exist. The question is whether the rules are fair, and whether new platforms respect the realities of gaming, regulation, and tribal sovereignty.

Tribal Voices Matter: Fair Gaming for All.🌵❌🔥

NEW EPISODE OUT NOW.

In this clip, Sisto makes a clear argument about tribal gaming and sovereignty. He says that when big corporations or regulators sideline tribal voices, they disregard generations of hard fought sovereignty. He calls that approach not only unjust, but unsustainable.

His ask is straightforward. We need a fair, transparent dialogue that honors the rights and contributions of Indigenous communities, while ensuring the gaming landscape works for everyone.

Nevada's Casino Economy: Where Lost Wages Are The City's Title.🌵❌🔥

NEW EPISODE OUT NOW.

In this clip, Eddie explains how his experience in Nevada shapes his view of gaming and prediction markets. He argues that Nevada’s economy is built on casinos, pit bosses, and a system where the house always wins. In his words, if you go to Vegas, you should be ready for “lost wages,” because the house is designed to take your money.

That framing sets up the bigger debate in this episode. Is the future going to stay dominated by casino style middlemen, or shift toward more transparent, consumer to consumer markets where the odds are not stacked by the house.
