First American refugee in Germany sounds wild until you realize they're Jewish, descended from Holocaust survivors, and just traded the Statue of Liberty for a refugee center in Berlin. Try spending a day in Berlin hunting for curly hair products and accessible sidewalks while processing the fact that a trans American with disabilities felt safer in a German refugee center than in their own home in the United States. Oh, and @Yewleea accidentally made German MPs apologize for spreading Russian disinformation—not through brilliant arguments, but by crying and running out of the room for completely unrelated reasons. (The German government doesn't know this yet).Meanwhile in actual war zones: Russian drones are casually sightseeing through Norway and Denmark while Europe responds with *checks notes* strongly worded statements. Poland's Foreign Minister delivered the verbal beating Russia actually deserves, but spoiler alert—words don't stop missiles. Rima spent her rotation screaming at a Ukrainian doctor for being racist to foreign soldiers who couldn't speak Ukrainian. Turns out, when you're a tiny medic with generational refugee trauma, you will absolutely lose it on anyone violating the Hippocratic Oath. Also featured: training soldiers in three languages simultaneously, living on Haribo gummies, and the revolutionary concept that people risking their lives for your country maybe deserve basic human decency.Also in this episode:🇩🇪 Why Berlin museums are teaching kids that WWII started in 1941 (Russia's version, naturally)✈️ How to survive: Berlin cyber attacks, Polish border schemes, and arriving in Kyiv during curfew🩺 Pink tourniquets with hearts exist and they're actually tactical (ft.
