n this episode we dispel the idea that Trump's federalization of DC police is an abberation from what has already been happening in DC. Rather, it should be understood as an escalation of an ongoing bipartisan project committed to dissolving the thin line between police and military. To help us discuss this myth, we invite guests Oliver Robinson and Erica Caines.    Oliver Robinson is an organizer in Pan-African Community Action (PACA), a DC-based group of African people organizing for locally based power.    Erica Caines is a writer and organizer in Baltimore and the DMV. Caines is the national coordinator of The Black Alliance For Peace, editor at Hood Communist, and founder of #LiberationThroughReading, providing African children with books that represent them.   End the Colonial Occupation of Washington D.C.: The People Demand Self-Determination and Self-Governance https://blackallianceforpeace.com/bapstatements/end-the-colonial-occupation-of-washington-dc   Trump Terror, Complicit Local Leadership, and the Assault Against Southeast D.C. https://blackagendareport.com/trump-terror-complicit-local-leadership-and-assault-against-southeast-dc
