An article on the evacuations carried out last week by IUPALS (Italian Universities for Palestinian Students) that @joynewacc shared with me (which also has lovely photos of her and the other students in it):
While the article is generally good, it does call it a “war” (it’s an ongoing genocide) and it does focus very much on how thankful the students are for the evacuation (which, of course, they are) without mentioning that it is the bare minimum a country whose government is complicit in the genocide could do to atone for its sins.
It also doesn’t mention, for that matter, that a certain professor at the university had to post 15 viral videos on Instagram until the Italian government’s on-purpose blocking of the evacuation became more trouble for them than it was worth, thereby forcing their hand to allow it to go ahead (this is why we’d been waiting since November. The Italian government saw that the evacuations were working and decided to put a spanner in the works right before Joy’s group was due to leave.)
Having met and spent time with all of the students in Milan last week I can attest that it is *we* who are so much better off having them with us. And it is us who should be thankful.
We also have so much work left to do: To force our governments to cease their complicity in genocide, to compel Israel to end this genocide, and to dismantle the apartheid state and begin the reparations process. Those of us on the right side of history will not stop until the people of Palestine are free.
PS. While Joy is safely in Milan now, her family are not. You can support them using this fundraiser: https://chuffed.org/project/farah-needs-help

In arabo «shukran» significa grazie. E gratitudine è il sentimento che accomuna gli sguardi dei dieci studenti palestinesi arrivati la scorsa settimana all’Università degli Studi di Milano dopo aver atteso sei o sette mesi prima di essere evacuati dalla Striscia di Gaza. Assieme ai due gruppi giunti lo scorso autunno attraverso il programma IUPALS (Italian […]

On May 19, 2026, multiple brush fires erupted in Riverside County, California, amid dry, warm conditions and gusty winds. The largest, the Bain fire, started in the Jurupa Valley near the Santa Ana River bottom around 11:22 a.m., quickly spreading across 900 acres. Four civilians were hospitalized, three for smoke inhalation and one for trauma injuries. Evacuation orders were issued for nearby residential areas, with an evacuation center set up at the La Sierra Senior Center. Firefighters assigned to the Bain fire made significant progress by late afternoon, though the eastern flank remained active. Meanwhile, the Verona fire in Juniper Springs began at 12:20 p.m., grew to 175 acres, and led to evacuations in Homeland, with one firefighter and one civilian sustaining minor injuries. Fire crews were able to halt its forward spread and downgrade some evacuation orders. Firefighting efforts were briefly interrupted by the presence of three civilian drones, which temporarily grounded aircraft due to safety risks, highlighting ongoing challenges for fire management. Across Southern California, crews also battled the Sandy fire in Los Angeles County and the Santa Rosa fire on Santa Rosa Island, emphasizing the widespread fire risks fueled by wind and dry conditions. Overall, firefighting teams worked diligently to contain these blazes and protect affected communities.
Not following this one, but a lot of evacuations firing off in Riverside County, west of Hemet.
