That’s my dish. 🧡 I grew up helping my dad every year, and at least 15 yrs ago I took over making my dad’s recipe for the “camotes.” It is not Thanksgiving without it. 😋

I'm feeling the FOMO! I have tix to see it on stage in Hollywood after Christmas with my daughter, so I'm holding out on the film until afterwards. 💚

The best thing you can do now is consult a licensed and experienced immigration attorney before making critical decisions about your case. Trust those with the knowledge and credentials to navigate these dangerous waters—not false promises.

Immigration law is incredibly complex. Even in the best of times, bad advice and a wrong move can have devastating, irreversible consequences. In a Trump Presidency, we are likely to watch as rules are changed and the rug gets pulled out from under us.

The real trap here is that the Republicans have made defending civil rights seem like a frivolous thing and a whole lot of liberals are falling in line. Even if it was a culture war, so what? This would be a war worth fighting. What are we even doing here, people? Get it together.
