I reported previously that Black Lives Matter Global Networks was campaigning openly against President Trump on its web site, and also in a CNN appearance by BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors, while accepting 501(c)(3) tax exempt resources from fiscal sponsor Thousand Currents. BLM also has a donation page that goes through ActBlue Charities, which also is 501(c)(3) tax exempt. Thousand Currents recently handed off BLM's fiscal sponsorship to the Tides Foundation.
BLM Knows or Should Know it is Not Allowed to Campaign with 501(c)(3) Resources
Elle Reynolds' "BLM Co-Founder Appears To Violate IRS Laws On CNN" at The Federalist (June 26, 2020) reports, "The Black Lives Matter Global Network and the IRS did not return requests for comment."

Campaigning? Yeah, an obvious breach of the tax law. Go ahead with adding that to the charges of rioting, killing, looting and sedition....and RICO.
If Media Matters is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit, any other organization can be one.
TIDES IS SOROS.
Maybe the Senate should subpoena the tax records of BLM and investigate. Seems to me that there is more probable cause than fishing in the President’s tax records.
Corporate America gave BLM billions
The FEC is feckless and needs to just be done away with.

The courts would rather go after Steve Bannon for alleged misuse of border wall funds.
BLM politicking (or living the high life) and Chelsea Clinton’s Haitian aid wedding dress get a pass.
Biden’s and Harris’s criminal BLMers and Antifa thugs will never obey any law as they are never held responsible.
I would hope.
Yes, it is.
