Non-Black Latinos often have a blind spot when it comes to recognizing themselves as a minority in the United States.
The more people inspired to pick up a few sandwiches and help to keep the lights on and the paychecks coming at their favorite local spot, the better.
On the eve of Hippie Sabotage’s performance at Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival 2020, some festivalgoers aren’t happy about the controversial duo’s presence on the lineup.
One prominent politician — then-New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg — needlessly jumped into the debate to remind Americans that Jones had the right to do whatever he wanted.
Manley says he declined because he’s a Bernie Sanders supporter and because he thought Bloomberg was, frankly, trying to buy black support in Florida.
Too many owners of valet parking lots cannot afford to jet to Dave Matthews Band concerts on the weekends.
State Sen. Joe Gruters is the target of a lot of online harassment.
Attending your first Trump rally is a rite of passage of sorts.
Florida senator, ex-governor, and accursed, human-shaped termite mound Rick Scott has been doing a whole lot of talking on TV as of late.
Francis Suarez is the platonic ideal of what most people generally imagine a cisgender male politician should look like. He’s fit, has a pronounced jawline, and by all accounts does not appear to be racist. The accolades basically end there.
From his SoundCloud origins to the fact that his stage name resulted from an internet rap-name generator, everything about Post Malone is peak 21st Century and Gen Z.
It is time, once again, to remind Carlos Gimenez that he has not been a good Miami-Dade County mayor. Gimenez, a transactional figure who only seems to stick his neck out for constituents with money and the ability to pull favors for him, is reportedly considering running for Congress in 2020
Yet for all three of its days, Rolling Loud 2019 felt like a festival that was hanging on by a thread, threatening to unravel completely if one more thing went wrong.
What do you picture when you imagine Miami? Even if you’ve lived here and felt the full brunt of the city’s realities — the oppressive summer heat, the preternaturally shitty drivers, and so on — it’s likely you’re charmed by the same romantic notions that have permeated pop culture. Whether…
Yesterday, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio appeared in the pages of the Atlantic magazine announcing that he, quite suddenly, loves “workers.” The senator, who has been accused of being a metaphysical vehicle through which rich business tycoons launder bad ideas, is now apparently a big fan of labor unions. He thinks the…
Florida voters really blew it in 2016. They elected Donald Trump. They reelected Marco-effing-Rubio. Both of those guys now spend every morning tweeting in their bathrobes while marching the nation ever closer to fascism and the climate-change apocalypse. Things are very, very bad right now, and it is largely Florida’s fault.
“Women, y’all make me mad, man. I hate the fact that women can’t control your anger. Like, women, y’all need to learn how to put a cap in your anger… Men, we have a cap.” An excerpt from Kevin Hart’s Seriously Funny tour says it all. Popular sets from all four of his standup tours, one of which will hit the American Airlines Arena this Saturday, feature the acclaimed comedian labeling women “bitches” and “crazy.” Hart’s routines from past to present include jokes that normalize derogatory language about women and mock the gender roles in relationships.
H.E.R will headline the Best Life Fest in Miami.
You might think politicians’ bad decisions — the ones that have led to all of those awful news cycles about domestic and international embarrassments, about barbarically retrogressive, unabashedly ignorant policy shifts and 3 a.m. Twitter outbursts — happen at a level far above your head. But they don’t. Decisions are made by those who show up. And right now, it’s time to show up at your local polling place and make sure your opinions count.
Two years later, New Times is still getting hate mail for telling Floridians in 2016 to “stop loving Publix.” You all yelled at us then and called us “carpetbaggers” for pointing out that the beloved supermarket chain has abysmal politics. But now, after the Tampa Bay Times detailed the gobs of cash…
Joe Carollo. Even uttering his name can raise the blood pressure among those who have followed Miami politics since the early ’90s. Miamians tend to shrug off political lunacy, so it takes a special kind of elected official to earn the moniker “Loco Joe.” Remember when a shark rode Metromover in 2009 and most locals simply shrugged and moved on?
