102. The OP makes it clear that this is BLM Chicago, not the national organization.

I don't know who runs the BLM Chicago Facebook and Twitter pages. The Facebook page has a blue check and 56K followers. The Twitter page has 60K followers, including a couple of well-known people and organizations, and has been active since February 2015.

So these aren't things created overnight. It's possible these were once real accounts, and the organization has atrophied to the point that now it's just one person. But I don't think that's been definitively proven.
