Florida has always been a stomping ground for whackjobs, but the state’s political climate seems to be attracting a particularly diseased group of people as of late. Roger Stone already lives here. The disgraced alt-right personality Milo Yiannopoulos briefly moved to Miami a few years ago. The InfoWars-appearing conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer is apparently now running for Congress in Palm Beach County.
Support for recreational marijuana in Florida seems stronger than ever. A petition to put legal weed on the ballot in 2020 passed a huge milestone last week, and a recent Quinnipiac University poll showed that 65 percent of Floridians now support allowing adults to use and possess small amounts of marijuana.
Every summer, people of the Jewish faith commemorate the day of Tisha B’Av by fasting and mourning. The date memorializes the destruction of the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem centuries ago. In modern times, Tisha B’Av has become an annual opportunity for activism or charitable acts — a time to practice tikkun olam, the Jewish teaching of “repairing the world.”
Last Thursday, fans got their first taste of what’s being billed as a bona fide Miami Dolphins quarterback competition. Before that day, the only indications had been media tweets and a handful of practices open to the public. In Thursday’s 34-27 win against the Atlanta Falcons, a few things came to light as Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen battled to snatch the starter job.
Protecting your private data in 2019 is a struggle, to say the least. Even something as innocuous as an app that makes your face look old might secretly store all of your photos and create a database of faces in a Russian basement somewhere.
The most in-depth story done so far by local media on Miami Dolphins receiver Kenny Stills’ calling out his team’s owner Stephen Ross for political hypocrisy came from a local sports columnist. And it was one of the most pathetic examples of political commentary in memory. But before we get…
Just weeks after a pool boy was accidentally shot by an iguana hunter in their neighborhood, two enterprising Boca Raton teens began stuffing mailboxes with flyers advertising the pair’s extermination services.
We’re only one week into August, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has already upgraded its forecast for the rest of the hurricane season. Conditions in the Atlantic are now more hospitable to hurricane activity.
Progressives, critics, and basically all people with moral backbones and souls this week are furious at Stephen Ross — the owner of the Miami Dolphins and the gym chains Equinox and SoulCycle, as well as an investor in many other ventures — for quietly planning to host a fundraiser for Donald Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign.
Hey, did you hear? The Miami Dolphins are in the news again! We’re talking about an actual football game that happened last night on the football field at Hard Rock Stadium, which sits atop an Indian burial site that probably has nothing to do with the franchise’s long-term bad luck and overall failures.
It is sometimes said the only reason crystal meth did not take off in Miami is because of what tourists refer to as “Cuban cocaine”: that sweet, nectary shot of espresso that keeps the city running — and triggers occasional episodes of road rage.
State Attorney Mike Satz has been the top prosecutor in Broward County since 1976. He’s somehow won every single reelection bid, every four years, for the past 43 years. In that time, the criminal-justice world has changed around him.
Florida — home of armed iguana hunters, exploding toilets, and the nation’s grandparents — just so happens to be the perfect petri dish for algal blooms. Because blue-green algae absorb energy from the sun and quickly grow in warm freshwater, the Sunshine State offers optimal conditions for the microorganisms called cyanobacteria to thrive.
Federal agents used limited parking outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in Miramar as a pretext to racially profile drivers earlier today, activists say.
Over the next four days, black journalists, media executives, and celebrities are taking over for the annual National Association of Black Journalists Convention and Career Fair. The main topic of discussion should be about establishing our own news network that shows African-Americans who keep it real and tell the whole truth about the systemic racism that continues oppressing people of color.
Under constant international pressure for the hellish conditions they helped create in Venezuela, members of the regime of strongman Nicolás Maduro never pass up an opportunity to point out the flaws of nations criticizing them.
In January, Americans for Immigrant Justice — one of the most prominent immigrant-rights activist and legal groups in Florida — filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the federal government for what sounded, at least at the time, like basic information.
Tomorrow night marks the beginning of a shiny new season of Miami Dolphins football. The home team will take on the Atlanta Falcons at 7:30 at Hard Rock Stadium. Preseason or not, it feels good to look forward to an actual game.
Miami Dade College officials are working on new classes and a certificate program that’ll prepare students for jobs in the medical marijuana industry. But, administrators stress, they won’t be teaching kids how to grow weed.
A few months ago, Jennifer Diaz rented a condo for her 64-year-old mother in Doral. She had heard there was a garbage dump nearby, but for the price, she thought it would be worth it. When she moved her mother in, neither of them expected to be next-door neighbors with “Mount Trashmore” — the Medley Landfill.
At the time they were written, the words were just one teenager’s thoughts about Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric. Joaquin Oliver, an outgoing and athletic 17-year-old student whose parents brought him from troubled Venezuela for safe harbor in America when he was a toddler, let his feelings flow.
City Girls are one of 2019’s breakout hip-hop acts. After they were featured on Drake’s recent hit “In My Feelings,” the group’s subsequent singles — “Twerk,” featuring Cardi B, and “Act Up” — have essentially become the biggest songs of the year not named “Old Town Road.”
