@elonmusk Time for women to run the world

For @thewalrus I spoke with Rabbi David @Mivasair, a rabbi and lifelong peace activist. With aid still only trickling into Gaza, the Canadian rabbi has found a radical way to help some Palestinian families trapped there.

[The Walrus @thewalrus]

In 2019, thirty-five-year-old photojournalist Anwar Sanaa was struggling to feed his family in Gaza City. He turned to an unlikely person for help: a Canadian rabbi in Hamilton, Ontario, named Rabbi David @Mivasair.

Now that the US has stopped funding #UNRWA and #WorldCentralKitchen has paused operations in Gaza, the dire situation there has become even more desperate. Rabbi David🔥is helping several families. You can contribute & help them survive.

[Rabbi David Mivasair🔥 @Mivasair]

We are helping desperate parents in #Gaza feed their kids. We send $$ directly to them. They get it. Please, please help us do this. https://t.co/MvInJm1nFv

@hellosarahmary The bike lanes near us have been cleared of snow w/in 24hrs this year. I don't get the hate-on. Living downtown w/kids ain't always easy. But if you want easy there are plenty of suburbs to choose from.

“Empty refrigerators, skipped meals, and famished kids are all signs of a broken economy. To fix it we need to start thinking of food as a human right,” says @RaizelRobin1.

@dawncalleja That's a classic!

[Canadian Paediatric Society @CanPaedSociety]

The @CanPaedSociety, @PedsOntario, and the Pediatric Section of @OntariosDoctors urge Ontario to open schools no later than Jan 17.
"The deteriorating health and well-being of children & youth is also a public health emergency."

"SCHOOL"

Kids should be in school at this point.

We have the tools to create safer indoor spaces, but even in a world of unlimited resources we would still see outbreaks...let's do what we can to minimize their frequency & size.

Keep kids in school.

(Some can't go. I get it)

This petition was made by a group of parents, educators, doctors and public health officials with no agenda but to get kids back to school. https://t.co/YgGwFKBqsB

School closure debates are back. Social media & traditional media haven't helped us understand the issues. Here is coverage of a real debate, sponsored by UofT and expertly moderated w/ 5-star panelists.
Dated 06/07/21. Every parent and educator should see this.

[Raizel Robin @RaizelRobin1]

@m_etxe_ar @CanPaedSociety @SickKidsNews @anthonyfurey @AntonyRobart @krushowy @thisislaurarepo Watch the whole debate at the end of my thread. Drs Grant, Fulford and Bitnun mention several studies that demonstrate schools were safe for students and teachers. You can dig into those if you're interested.

[Raizel Robin @RaizelRobin1]

@CityAdrian As a journalist, I have learned a lot from watching this whole debate (bottom of the thread). You might, too.

@CBCsteph The debate itself is even better. A rare chance to see some of the country's top scientists present their arguments in full.

[Raizel Robin @RaizelRobin1]

@905barazza Schools didn't lead outbreaks. BC and Ontario had the same case curves. One opened schools, one didn't. Regarding consulting with educators, what can they tell me about infectious disease control?

Dr. Jen Grant: "I was in a debate in June of last year discussing the point “schools should never again be closed for COVID-19.” Since then, even more data has emerged...The evidence is clear, schools are no riskier than any other activity."
