Top Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases
As much as I disagree with their polices, I certainly do not want any violence done to these folks and their families--and hope none happens.

The former White House adviser Katie Millermother of three young children, and wife of the presidential right-hand man Stephenwalked out of her front door one Thursday morning last month and was confronted by a woman she did not know. When she told this story on Fox News, she described the encounter as a protest that crossed a line. The stranger had told Miller: Im watching you, she said. This was the day after Charlie Kirks assassination. It also wasnt anything new.
For weeks before Kirks death, activists had been protesting the Millers presence in north Arlington, Virginia. Someone had put up wanted posters in their neighborhood with their home address, denouncing Stephen as a Nazi who had committed crimes against humanity. A group called Arlington Neighbors United for Humanity warned in an Instagram post: Your efforts to dismantle our democracy and destroy our social safety net will not be tolerated here. The local protest became a backdrop to the Trump administrations response to Kirks killing. When Miller, the architect of that response who is known for his inflammatory political rhetoric, announced a legal crackdown on liberal groups, he singled out the tactics that had victimized his familywhat he called organized campaigns of dehumanization, vilification, posting peoples addresses.
Stephen Miller soon joined a growing list of senior Trump-administration political appointeesat least six by our countliving in Washington-area military housing, where they are shielded not just from potential violence but also from protest. It is an ominous marker of the nations polarization, to which the Trump administration has itself contributed, that some of those top public servants have felt a need to separate themselves from the public. These civilian officials can now depend on the U.S. military to augment their personal security. But so many have made the move that they are now straining the availability of housing for the nations top uniformed officers.............................
