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

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

So much for the tolerant left

Wow, so intimidating.

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!"

"Fighting back is cheating."

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!

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 23 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months 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 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months 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 13 points 7 months 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 12 points 7 months ago

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

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months 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 ♥️

[–] tortina_original@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months 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...

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 18 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months 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 7 months ago

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

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago

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

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago

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

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 15 points 7 months 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 7 months 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.

[–] rozodru@piefed.social 10 points 7 months 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.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 9 points 7 months ago

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

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Is it weird to have 5 roll out trash cans?

[–] ltxrtquq@lemmy.ml 12 points 7 months 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 7 months ago

Seems like a lot of trash live there.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months 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.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 months 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.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months 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 7 months 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.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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.
