There have been four applications incorporating the phrase "WHITE LIVES MATTER" with the USPTO.
Three of them have already been refused registration and the fourth remains pending.
It was filed in October (last month) as an "intent to use" application.
It has not been examined, and will not make it to examination for at least another six to nine months at best. It is not a registered mark and has zero legal effect on anyone's ability to do whatever the fuck they want.

The amusing part is the purported "assignment" of a 1(b) (intent to use) application. This sort of application cannot be assigned, since it is based on "intent" and not actual use of the mark on goods. Because intent is personal to the entity having the intent, there is nothing to be assigned.
The story is bullshit written by people who don't know what they are talking about, for people who don't know any better.
