Elections have consequences. Sure, there are some Miami voters who leapt enthusiastically onto the Trump Train and embraced all of the Donald's plans. But thousands of locals voted for him only because they wanted lower taxes or a wall in Texas or the overturn of Roe v. Wade. Even more in Miami-Dade didn't bother showing up at the polls.

Donald Trump has spent the past month complaining that the election results against Hillary Clinton may be "rigged" November 8. The nation and all sides of the media, from Fox News to MSNBC, have said Trump's claims are without merit. Now South Florida has its own "rigged" election controversy.
On January 20, a misogynist Cheeto took the oath of the president of the United States. Just as important, the next day, millions of women took to the streets to protest his plans. Around the world, women marched to show their strength and made their voices heard. A trio of...
Sea-level rise has become such a problem in Miami-Dade that even Republican leaders admit the issue is real. "It's not a theory," county Mayor Carlos Gimenez said of global warming in January. "It's a fact. We live it every day." For once, we wish Gimenez had spent more time hanging out with his old golf buddy Donald Trump.
If civilization were to end tomorrow — and who the hell knows, it just might — we could learn a lot about building the next one from the films of Hirokazu Kore-eda. Back in 1998, the Japanese director had his U.S. breakthrough with the wildly acclaimed After Life. Since then,...
A particularly chilling scene appears in the first season of Jessica Jones, the Netflix series based on a Marvel Comics character — a scene feminist critics have called a metaphor for the comic industry at large.

Florida Power & Light, the ultrapowerful electricity monopoly, and its parent company, NextEra Energy, spend millions lobbying in Tallahassee and Washington. And those lobbyists spend most of their time arguing against changes FPL's customers actually want, like the right to cheap home solar panels or better clean-air regulations. Sometimes, they...
When you’re the son of a famous father, it’s all but inevitable that comparisons will be drawn between you and your dad. And when your name is Guthrie — as in Woody Guthrie, the iconic folk singer — certain expectations inevitably follow. Arlo Guthrie has built a formidable career filled with classic albums, but the turmoil that’s gripping the nation inevitably prompts questions about what his pops would do.
Toss this hot take into the ever-growing pile of takes about the Miami Heat hitting the web over the past week that would have seemed downright senile just three weeks ago: Erik Spoelstra has delivered the best coaching performance of his career in 2017. The fact that this take didn't just burn a hole through your computer screen, drop onto your keyboard, and roll into your lap is reason enough to call this one of the oddest Heat seasons of all time.
The best time of the week is finally here — the weekend. The next three days are filled with music, art, parties, and boozy beverages galore. From Coral Gables to Little Havana to South Beach, these are the best places to be until the sun comes up Monday morning. Friday...
Jorge Masvidal was ordering a Big Mac meal at the McDonald's on Miller Road at SW 93rd Avenue when he got the call. It was Kimbo Slice, the legendary godfather of backyard fighting. The brawl would take place in an hour, Slice said in that distinctive gravelly voice. Masvidal's opponent...
Miami's top prosecutor, State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle, has faced a tidal wave of criticism from police-reform activists this year for her reluctance to prosecute cops who kill on the job. Today, Rundle did something she's never done in her 24 years in office: charged an officer for an on-duty shooting.

Of all the dishes on the menu at celebrity chef Geoffrey Zakarian's new restaurant, Point Royal, the lobster roll is the item worthiest of a trip to the strip of A1A where Hollywood meets Hallandale Beach. There's no chopped or minced meat here. A whole Maine lobster is steamed until...
The menu at Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill is packed with traditional vegetable rolls that can be difficult to find amid Miami Beach's cacophony of sushi spots. One is loaded with threads of loamy enoki mushrooms. Another wraps rice and seaweed paper around crunchy matchsticks of burdock root that...
A small town in Miami-Dade County — South Miami: population 12,000 — wants to become the first in Florida with an ordinance requiring every new residential home, building, or apartment complex to install solar panels. Residents building new homes would then pay less to Florida Power & Light, the only power company in town, which still generates more than 70 percent of its energy from fossil fuels and operates a nuclear plant that environmentalists say is polluting Miami-Dade's drinking water.
Donald Shockey believes that everyone deserves to live in a clean neighborhood. When he lived in Miami Shores from 2001 to 2014, he didn't have much of an issue because, he says, that city's code-enforcement division was well funded and did a good job of making residents clean up their trash. But when Shockey moved into a home on NW 41st Street in the City of Miami in 2014, he says, found a neighborhood in disarray.

The City of Miami's police union is run by a person who once called a dead 12-year-old a "thug," has publicly called Islam a "religion that enslaves and allows the beating of women," has been sued multiple times for alleged cases of police misconduct, and habitually posts on social media about how undocumented immigrants bring crime to American cities. Now Javier Ortiz has been reprimanded again for posting a private woman's personal cell phone number on the internet and encouraging people to call her and yell at her — all because she caught a county cop speeding.

When Donald Trump signed his January executive order banning travel from seven majority-Muslim nations, Rafael A. Velasquez threw on a blazer, grabbed a megaphone, and stood in the rain outside Miami International Airport, screaming "Not my president!" and "Refugees are welcome here!" amid a tense standoff with airport security.
For many years, being a fan of the English rock band Radiohead meant three little words: "True Love Waits." That's the name of the sentimental ballad that long served as the Holy Grail of the band's unreleased tracks. First heard on 2001's I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings, it was...
