BLM Grifter Indicted for, Get This, BLM Grifting

Criminals gonna crime.

A federal grand jury in Oklahoma City has delivered sweeping charges against a longtime Black Lives Matter figure, accusing her of siphoning donor money into a personal slush fund that allegedly financed Caribbean vacations, luxury shopping, and a string of real-estate purchases. According to reporting from Breitbart News, prosecutors say the case exposes how parts of the BLM movement operated far from the charitable mission donors were led to believe they were supporting.

Federal prosecutors announced Thursday that 52-year-old Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson -- the executive director of Black Lives Matter Oklahoma City since 2016 -- now faces 25 felony counts, including twenty charges of wire fraud and five more of money laundering. U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester confirmed the indictment, which carries maximum penalties adding up to 450 years in prison and millions in fines.

Senior Justice Department officials, speaking exclusively to Breitbart, framed the case as a test of their commitment to rooting out corruption inside organizations that have raised enormous sums under the banner of racial justice. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the prosecution shows "how some in the group's leadership allegedly used donor money to bankroll their own lifestyles," adding that the department has "zero tolerance for any kind of fraud perpetrated against the American people." FBI Director Kash Patel echoed that message, telling Breitbart his agents are "following the money" wherever it leads.

Between June 2020 and October 2025, she allegedly deposited more than $2.35 million in returned bail checks directly into her own accounts. The DOJ says that money then financed:

Trips to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic for Dickerson and associates
"Tens of thousands" in retail shopping
Over $50,000 in food and grocery deliveries
A personal vehicle
Six Oklahoma City properties, purchased either in her name or through an entity she controlled

Prosecutors also accuse Dickerson of filing falsified annual reports with AFGJ that concealed the personal spending and claimed all funds were used for permissible charitable purposes.

...

If convicted on all counts, Dickerson could face one of the most severe fraud-related sentences in recent memory -- a dramatic fall for a figure who helped lead one of the state's most visible activist organizations during the peak of the Black Lives Matter movement.

In totally, completely, 100% unrelated news: "Tax the Rich" Socialist Socialite Alexandria Donkey-Chompers dropped $50,000 of donor money on luxury hotels and restaurants during her "vacations" from her "job."

All over a three month period!

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) dropped almost $50,000 on hotels and meals in Puerto Rico in the third quarter of this year -- as well as renting a San Juan venue where she was caught on tape grooving at an August Bad Bunny concert.

AOC's principal campaign committee shelled out $680.52 on July 28 to stay at the lavish Hotel Palacio Provincial, along with another $1,507.26 on Aug. 29 and a whopping $9,440,79 on Sept. 29, according to third quarter federal campaign finance filings -- even as the "Squad" rep on her social media accounts denounced gentrification that was taking place on the island.

The "first-class," "adults only" Palacio Provincial boasts of being "situated within an historic early 19th century building" with "transcendent hints of the structure's grand colonial past."

On Aug. 25, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress also paid $3,861.20 to Hotel El Convento, another 19th century property touting its "old world charm and elegance," the Federal Election Commission filings show.

In all, the campaign forked over $15,489.77 for lodging in Puerto Rico between July 1 and Sept. 30.

At least $10,743.13 was spent on meals and catering services on Aug. 25 and Sept. 29, per the FEC filings for that period.

...

Ocasio-Cortez's campaign spent more than $23,000 on "venue rental" at the same location, the Coliseo De Puerto Rico, on June 24 and Aug. 25. It's unclear whether the expenses were related to the Bad Bunny shows.

...

Fox News first reported on the filings, and a campaign manager for the congresswoman, Oliver Hidalgo-Wohlleben, responded in a statement to the outlet that Ocasio-Cortez "regularly travels to Puerto Rico to support local causes and host events that require both staff and security."

"She is deeply proud of her investment in grassroots organizing and will continue to be active in advocating for both people on the island and the millions of Puerto Ricans in the diaspora," Hidalgo-Wohlleben added.

Throughout the third quarter, the Ocasio-Cortez campaign spent thousands of dollars more on various "boutique" hotel stays and expensive food vendors on the US mainland -- including as part of her "Fighting Oligarchy" tour with socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

Those outlays included $6,600 for stays at the Hotel Vermont in Burlington.

Ocasio-Cortez's campaign coffers also were used for $2,000 lodging at the Thompson Central Park Hotel in Manhattan -- and a $3,000 stay at the Arlo Williamsburg in Brooklyn.

Other expenses included $6,300 for a meal at Italian restaurant Ama in the capitol's Navy Yard neighborhood.

Another $11,500 was shelled out for dining in DC, Vermont, the Bronx and Latham, NY, ice cream company Mr. Ding-a-ling.
