My coverage and commentary of San Francisco homelessness in the past year.

To make it more interesting, I'm interspersing quotes throughout this thread ⬇️

‘The letters or cards that I had… they could never be replaced. It just meant more to me than a zillion dollars.’ -- Derrick, who lost his tent, ID and letters from his mother to sweeps by Caltrans
https://t.co/SjkO3mmQkU
'We’re essentially under arrest. On an equally interesting note, I haven’t had any medical examination since my arrival — a bit strange considering what I’m here for.' -- Ken, shelter client who was tested positive for COVID-19
https://t.co/Y2br0nrsB7
'The shelter in place has given us permission to be out here, otherwise it was just cat and mouse' -- Toro, whose tent camp in Castro District was temporarily reprieved from police sweeps
https://t.co/5GhEqlf1mM
'It’s scary coming here, especially for people using on the street and with mental health issues, there’s a lot of paranoia. I didn’t know if I was being taken to a black site.' -- Joshua Owens, on his initial trepidation about entering a SIP hotel
'As homeless people we have not been treated this good for years. We usually get treated like crap … I’ve never been treated this nicely. Normally, they’re doing everything to bug us.' -- Carrie Ann Moon, on her stay at a SIP hotel
'As for our supposed incapacity to live indoors, I think my shelter mates and I could manage in a single-person space after years of congregate living. It’s not service resistance, it’s wanting appropriate services that aren’t people-resistant.'

'They’re making my life very, very horrendous, and they’re making it so anti-productive that it’s insane. Because I’m like, "hey man, I’m an artist, and this is how I make my living." That’s my survival.' -- @ronniegoodmansf on effects of sweeps
https://t.co/jGCxE2iShg
'Black, Latinx, homeless and disabled Californians are constantly targeted, surveilled and fined hundreds of dollars for everyday behaviors like sleeping, owning a dog or simply existing in public.' - Tifanei Ressl-Moyer of @lccrsf
https://t.co/WdTX0q88QL
'After almost two years, the measure known as “Our City, Our Home” can now live up to the promise of its name, affirming that I’m part of a city committed to housing homeless people and keeping them housed.' -- my story on legal victory for @OurHomeSF
https://t.co/GgsIZsTrzS
'But for those of us working at the intersection of racial justice, homelessness, mental health and abolition, we know there are strong reasons to doubt that Scott Wiener is truly invested in making the changes he claims to be committed to.'

'Yet the question remained: How does one shelter in place without a place to shelter in?' - my #2020yearinreview

A long thread on how an obsessive & violent antisemite & Holocaust denier has been embraced by the international “community of the good.”

Sarah Wilkinson has a history of Holocaust denial & anti-Jewish hatred dating back (in documented examples) to around 2015.


She is a self-proclaimed British activist for “Palestinian rights” but is more accurately a far Left neo-Nazi. Her son shares the same characteristics of violence, racism & Holocaust denial.

I first documented Sarah Wilkinson’s Holocaust denial back in July 2016. I believe I was the 1st person to do so.

Since then she has produced a long trail of written hate and abuse. See here for a good summary.


Wilkinson has recently been publicly celebrated by @XRebellionUK over her latest violent action against a Jewish owned business. Despite many people calling XR’s attention to her history, XR have chosen to remain in alliance with this neo-Nazi.

Former Labour Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell MP is among those who also chose to stand with Wilkinson via a tweet.

But McDonnell is not alone.

Neo-Nazi Sarah Wilkinson is supported and encouraged by thousands of those on the Left who consider themselves “anti-racists”.

Their research included "PATHOGENS CARRIED BY BATS" that provoke respiratory diseases.
