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

“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”

For anyone curious what kinds of things were written

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 60 points 2 days ago (3 children)

The horror. Are the Miller's okay? Did they survive?

So much for the tolerant left

Wow, so intimidating.

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.

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] EvilFonzy@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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!

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.

[–] Darkard@lemmy.world 64 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Throwing out the "Tolerant Left" trope there of course, anytime someone does something that hurts their feefees.

She may as well have said "the lefties are supposed to just be pushovers and let me do whatever I want unchallenged!"

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 38 points 2 days ago (2 children)

"Fighting back is cheating."

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago

Democrats and Republicans have been playing a completely different game for so long, that they are actually stunned sometimes if someone on the left actually does anything close to resistance.

"We will not be intimidated. We will not cower. We will double dow...
...
Wait. Ok, we will sell up because someone deservedly pulled us up on our fucking bullshit."

I WANT TO SPREAD HATE AND VIOLENCE AND DESTROY DEMOCRACY WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES!!! I'M A VICTIM!

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 days ago

I wrote this on another post but I’m pasting here because I think it’s interesting. Fuck Stephen Miller.

I was mad about data privacy laws recently and I thought “I wonder how may politicians also have their data bought and sold.”

So I googled. I had no malicious intent. Just to see what I could find.

Turns out, Stephen N. Miller uses a fake name, Stefan Enzio Muller.

They share many former addresses and phone numbers. Stefan also was registered to vote as a Democrat using one of Miller’s addresses and also had a traffic violation. Voter fraud would be a serious crime.

Idk how unless he has a fake ID. Or a government issued “fake” ID. That wouldn’t surprise me either.

Fuck Stephen Miller.

**Note, I did not purchase a background check to confirm they aren’t separate people. I know I was already risking attention by putting anything in google and I didn’t want any more of a reason to be a target so I chose not to pursue and moved on.

I did use the tip line at several news agencies requesting they pick up the investigation where I could not but they all declined.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 days ago

The official in question is Stephen Miller in case anyone is just reading the headline and not the article.

What a little pussy bitch.

[–] tortina_original@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

I am curious as to where that moron lady got the idea that "left" is tolerant, or that it should be tolerant.

Especially when it comes to tolerating intolerance.

Bunch of fucking morons, living in la-la land...

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago (2 children)

We will not back down. We will not cower in fear. We will double down.

How does selling the house fit into this?

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

We will double down.

They need to top up before they can make such bet.

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

They're moving to Harlem.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

“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 before being washed away.

Oh the horrors

But bet your ass that he'll use this to fuel the flames, he'll talk about how these terrorist treats nearly destroyed his beautiful marriage and whatnot, whatever tear jerking story works to push for even more fascist rhetoric.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

This looks like a prime piece of real estate begging to be turned into a transgender support center.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I was so sure this was an onion type story I had to search it to see if it was real. I'm still in disbelief.

There's a twitter link to the post with a video of her washing the chalk messages away...

[–] SL3wvmnas@discuss.tchncs.de 39 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I mean the known messages listed in the article were

“Stephen Miller is destroying democracy,” “stop the kidnapping,” "we 🤍 immigrants,” “hate has no home in Arlington,” “no white nationalism,” “trans rights are human rights”

Also:

She [Millers Wife] subsequently posted a photo of “DEI enriches us all” written in chalk on a sidewalk, labeling it “the rallying cry of the losers of the Left.”

This sounds so much like Satire. Coming from a real person this sounds so delusional, it makes my schizophrenic ex more coherent during one of their episodes.

Also the house flipping angle (we want a Meeeellion Dollars more than what we paid for two years ago) makes this story even more absurd.

[–] rimu@crust.piefed.social 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I think they were planning to sell anyway and the chalking happened during the selling process so they thought they could drum up some outrage from it.

[–] madeinthebackseat@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Why would any good fascist pass up an opportunity to propagandize the flock?

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Love this though--now it's not likely gonna sell to a liberal, bc who the fuck in their right mind wants whatever that house is cursed with after that scum infested the place? But it's also not likely to get sold to a conservative bc why would they want to make a target of themselves? I hope that place just rots on the market for eternity ♥️

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

We do not tolerate intolerance, fuckwit. You're lucky you're only getting chalk messages considering the hateful bullshit Miller's been responsible for.

I hope they can't sell it and have to drop the price drastically. I mean, what must it smell like in there?

[–] Kraiden@piefed.social 16 points 2 days ago

If you break the social contract then you are not covered by it

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

I hope he never has a moment of peace for the rest of his miserable existence.

[–] rozodru@piefed.social 10 points 2 days ago

I want to know how someone who was a literal nobody gets to that position and gets that kind of money to have that kind of house.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

That's an awful lot of space for someone to set up a foster home for at risk LGBTQ+ teens who have been shunned by their families.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I know I can judge him for so much more but three trash cans? Are they only buying single use products or some shit?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Considered its Arlington, it may be an HOA requirement so that even after a major gift giving holiday you never have extra bags beside the trashcan, because we all know the horrors that causes.

Still, I hope he ends up having to move every other month for the rest of his life because of scary chalk messages.

You aren't allowed to just leave a bag of garbage where I am.

He has a green compost bin, and everywhere I've lived (in canada) accepts unlimited curb side recycling.

So if you have more than 1 garbage bin of garbage, you don't fucking put it out and live with, and there's no food in it, so it can wait another week if needed.

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is it weird to have 5 roll out trash cans?

[–] ltxrtquq@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

From here it seems 3 would be normal, one for trash, recycling, and yard waste. But that house has three bins dedicated to trash pickup every week, which seems like a lot.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

Seems like a lot of trash live there.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 days ago

And where did he get all the money to buy such a house?
