On May 20, 1902, Cuba won its independence after centuries of Spanish colonization, the Spanish-American War, and U.S. occupation. Though one can argue that people living in the small island nation don’t have much freedom, the Republic of Cuba still celebrates its independence each year in May. Miamians of Cuban…

If you can throw your boobs over your shoulder like a continental soldier then you should probably get those dairy pillows checked out by a medical professional.
