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.

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...
If you're reading this story on a home computer, consider yourself luckier than a full third of Miami residents. This week, Florida International University took a look at internet connectivity across the country — and the startling results showed the city of Miami ranked second worst in the nation. FIU's...
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...
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.
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.
Quietly over the past few months, a sky-high art installation has been under assembly in Wynwood, and now it's ready to be unveiled. Hamanae by Bazbaz, a photographic art installation; and MKT by Bazbaz, a socially conscious marketplace featuring select local vendors, entrepreneurs, and artisans, will debut this Saturday, February 18, in Wynwood, and run through the weekend from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
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.

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...
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.
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...
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.
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...

“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.
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.
