This might be the most precarious moment in history for the free press. The president recently called reporters "the enemy of the American people" and wants to defund PBS. The internet has murdered daily newspapers. Made-up stories routinely go viral on social media.

At the beginning of North Miami Beach's meeting last night about a plan to privatize its water system, City Manager Ana Garcia asked residents to trust the city based on the commission's track record. That was an odd appeal, considering that Mayor George Vallejo is the subject of an...
You won't hurt Judy Czerenda's feelings if you tell her the veggie burger she serves tastes exactly like a McDonald's cheeseburger. "It's not at all offensive," says Czerenda, who runs the two-month-old Now Burger booth at the Yellow Green Farmers Market. "There's a reason McDonald's is one of the biggest restaurant chains in the country. They spent millions to create their burger, and if mine tastes just as good without any bad ingredients, it's not disparaging. It's great."
Artist and activist Melanie Oliva woke up overwhelmed with sadness, frustration, and helplessness the morning of November 9, 2016. Even her well-curated Facebook feed couldn’t alter the new, bitter reality that Donald Trump had been elected president. She'd hoped that economic, environmental, and social justice would be at the forefront of the incoming administration. But that, she said, turned out to be an illusion.
“Donald Trump” and “protecting patients’ access to health care” are two phrases that aren't generally associated with each other. But that fact didn't seem to bother the American Cancer Society (ACS), which hosted its fundraiser Rock Palm Beach at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago this past Friday night.
Liquid Liquid's Sal P. teamed up with Italian producer Shield of Rebirth Records for an edgy new house cut he's sure to drop during a rare Miami DJ set for the label's 10-year anniversary party at Do Not Sit On The Furniture.

It's really difficult to be the bearer of more bad news this week. Progressives have woken up every day this week in a state of panic, crawling out of bed to check their news feeds, only to get the wind knocked out of them upon reading President Trump's newest slate of racist executive orders that seem all but designed to stir global unrest and disaster.
Mira Nair’s Queen of Katwe is a true-life tale transformed into an inspirational fable. That’s not novel for the movies, but in this director’s hands, the results are mostly enchanting. The film follows Phiona Mutesi (Madina Nalwanga), an impoverished Ugandan girl who became a chess champion at the age of...
Less than 1 percent of Florida gun transactions were denied due to mental health issues in recent years.
Jane Seo blazed across the finish line at last weekend's Fort Lauderdale Half Marathon with a stellar time of 1 hour 21 minutes. The professional New York food blogger's blistering 6:15-per-mile pace earned her second place among the thousands who raced. Seo paraded around the finish line while grinning and gripping a gaudy medal.
This time of year is supposed to be Miami's dry season. That definitely wasn't the case the second day of Ultra Music Festival 2017. Gray clouds hung over Bayfront Park and eventually drenched the festival. However, it wasn't exactly like last year's storm. In 2016, several performances were scrapped. This year, the show went on.
A pudgy man in a white lab coat, protective goggles, and a white hardhat ambles down several long rows of potted marijuana plants. An industrial A/C unit cranks frigid air into the capacious grow room, located inside a 300,000-square-foot warehouse just outside Tallahassee, while an array of high-pressure sodium lights...

This weekend, more than 1,300 boats will make their way to Virginia Key — by land and by sea — for the 76th edition of the Miami International Boat Show. For boat lovers, it’s a seafaring extravaganza. But not everyone is pleased about the arrival of the annual trade show.
Miami has seen a lull in Zika cases lately, which makes sense because it's low season for Florida's mosquitoes. But once the weather warms up, clouds of Aedes aegypti will return with the virus. Fighting the virus hasn't been easy. Pesticides aren't very effective and have run up against public pushback. But a new study says another problem has also hampered anti-Zika efforts: the flood of memes, #fakenews articles, and straight-up incorrect reporting that followed the virus.
Republicans claim to be a party of good old Christian values. They take photo-ops at church, post prayer psalms on Twitter, install unqualified Christian moonbats to run the Department of Education (See: DeVos Betsy), and quote Jesus in public whenever it's convenient. But despite the fact that Jesus spent about...
Bands with a single common noun as their name are usually either attempting to remain obscure or have a shit idea of what makes for good marketing. Of course, that’s only true until they hit it big and bury both Merriam-Webster and Oxford in Google search results. British bands have...
2016 has been awful for many, many different reasons. But one of the biggest turds fate has left on our pillows this year came in the form of the United States of America's presidential campaign. In the end, when the dust cleared and Marco Rubio finally agreed to stop playing...
The term "Latin music" could no doubt use a bit of updating. These days, it's a painfully vague descriptor, akin to asking someone if they enjoy "European music" — a genre that contains everything from Adele to German death techno. (That's probably a thing, right?) Luckily, few acts in the...

The South Beach Wine & Food Festival has long regarded music as part of a successful weekend. Past headliners such as KC & the Sunshine Band and Ziggy Marley have rocked the tents. This year, several events seamlessly blur the lines between music and food. As William Shakespeare said: "If music be the food of love, play on."
Miami is in the midst of the most spirited debate it's had regarding campaign-finance reform in years. Barring the results of legal appeals and a counter-suit filed this week, a group of activists has forced Miami-Dade County to let its citizens vote on a measure that would cut political donations...
Let's all take a moment to formally congratulate state Sen. Frank Artiles, who has long been one of Florida's worst politicians, for shooting himself directly in the foot and all but guaranteeing he'll never win an election again. After years of filing hateful, anti-LGBTQ bills, allegedly punching college kids in the face, smearing Black Lives Matter activists as terrorists...
Some artists reflect in their work the world they see around them. Others aim to change the world around them into a futuristic alternative. Over the past three decades, Phoebe Legere has proven herself to be the latter in her work as a singer, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and painter.
