The chalk messages were written just days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah, prompting Miller’s wife, the podcaster and former communications official Katie Miller, to post a message of defiance on social media.

“To the ‘Tolerant Left’ who spent their day trying to intimidate us in the house where we have three young children: We will not back down. We will not cower in fear. We will double down. Always, For Charlie,” she posted via X on Sept. 14

During an appearance on The Sean Hannity Show, Stephen Miller and Hannity asserted that the messages amounted to “terroristic threats.”

The messages:

“Stephen Miller is destroying democracy,” “stop the kidnapping,” we [love] immigrants,” “hate has no home in Arlington,” “no white nationalism,” and “trans rights are human rights” are among the chalk messages seen last month

There isn't a single threat in those messages, let alone "terroristic". What a bunch of fucking fascist morons.

Perhaps the Millers will learn their lesson on political terror when ICE comes knocking on their door. Traditionally, the goddamned Nazis end up stabbing each other in the back sooner or later—see "The Night of the Long Knives".

They are therefore by no means only a threat to their opponents.

Looks like Taylor Greene will probably be one of the first to be dealt with, but of course, no one is safe from narcissistic psychopaths without a conscience. So, like anyone else, it could happen to the Millers at any time.

It wouldn't surprise me or make me sad in any way—quite the contrary.

The night of the long knives was an effective consolation of Nazi power. If we see a night of the long knives it will be maga purging factions that threaten their all powerful executive branch and it’s narrative

Yes, I think so too. And I think that ICE is intended for this purpose, since the regime cannot be sure of the loyalty of the police, let alone the military. I mean, why else would ICE need such an astronomical budget? Further embezzlement of public funds via private prison companies, in which members of the government are certainly involved, surely also plays a role. But when you look at the ruthless actions of ICE and what die-hard fascists they are, it seems pretty obvious to me that it's already an SS-like secret police force. Maybe it will be renamed once they have seized absolute power.

They are not there yet, but I think it is very likely that the regime will not allow free elections anymore—then it would risk being held accountable for all its crimes, which is unlikely under the US legal system, but not impossible.

Yes I agree. What we’re seeing here is a lot like the SA and as they dial in it will become more like the SS.

In chalk! If you don't like it, grab a hose or kick the sidewalk for a couple minutes. Fucking fascist snow flakes.

...or, ya know. Stop throwing brown and trans people into your corporate slavery prisons. Either way!

If you don’t like it, grab a hose or kick the sidewalk for a couple minutes.

there's a link to a video of them doing just that in the article.
