In the caption of the Instagram post, he wrote, "An old white woman got on the train and immediately pointed at me and told me to correct how I was sitting. I refused, so she went to the conductor and complained. The conductor called the police and stopped the train," he said.

O'Keefe also says in the caption that the friend of the woman who called the police had said to him, "You're not the minority anymore."

A separate video about the incident has been uploaded by the user, Nalae, on TikTok, where it has quickly gone viral, having been viewed over 160,000 times as of reporting.

They said I was disturbing the peace by not leaving the train. They pulled me off the train and arrested me without even talking to the Karen who reported the one black person on the train. On the platform, the police detained me and interrogated me. Only black folks stayed nearby and recorded the arrest. When I demanded a lawyer and reminded them they didn't even take a statement from the woman who complained they eventually released me. This country is growing more psycho by the day. What will you do about it?"

Topical twist at the end (no spoilers) but generally one of Epic Rap Battles' best, IMO.

Is ERB OK for this community? I honestly don't know. But this is a good one. 🙂

Text of post:

Get this! Mike Johnson is now claiming — with no evidence whatsoever — that Donald Trump once served as an FBI informant to help dismantle sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network. Johnson told reporters Trump “was an FBI informant in an effort to take Epstein down.”

I’M NOT JOKING!!! 🤣🤣

The White House and Republican leadership have resorted to threats and intimidation to stop members of their own Party from voting to force the release of the Epstein files. Unfortunately for Trump, the truth is quickly catching up with him, and he may soon not be able to contain. In this video we’ll talk about the desperate lengths Trump is going to in order to hide the truth about Epstein (and his associates) from the public.

Time for blue states to stop paying federal tax, then.

Don't worry folks, US police have a stellar reputation for rooting out brutality and injustice in their ranks. I'm quite sure appropriate action will be taken.

“They’re our brothers and sisters. When we stop seeing people that way it’s so easy to start making laws or enacting policies that harm them.”

Oh yeah, this guy is a real hatemonger.

Remember, with Trump in power cops don't need to pretend anymore.

Independently verifiable detail number 28543 showing that Trump and everyone he has appointed are unfit for office, and that no one who voted for him will ever care about, and from which no consequences will ever flow.

I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters. -- Mr. Donald J. Trump

Jensy Machado, a naturalized US citizen from Virginia, believes US immigration agency profiles Hispanic people

According to Machado, the agents told him the name of a man who had a deportation order and had given Machado’s home address. He responded by telling the agents that man’s name wasn’t his – and offered to show them his Virginia driver’s license.

But he says that the agents did not ask to see his ID. Instead, they ordered him to leave his car, and they placed handcuffs on him. An agent then asked Machado how he got into the country.

“And I told him I was an American citizen,” Machado said. “He looked at his other partner like, you know, smiling, like saying, ‘Can you believe this guy?’”
