It was as if the bridge appeared out of nowhere. Carlos Badillo had driven past Florida International University before, but on March 15, 2018, he noticed something he hadn't seen just a week earlier. It was a little before 2 p.m., and he was driving east on Tamiami Trail with his wife, Martha Plaza Cevallos. Up ahead, a 174-foot bridge had been erected in front of the Modesto A. Maidique Campus.

When Noel Lanzas read about a Miami Beach woman who’d called a black, would-be London visitor a “monkey” and other racial slurs, he wasn’t surprised. For almost a year, he says, the same woman — Giulia Ozyesilpinar — had been harassing him for being gay and HIV-positive. She sent emails calling him a “fucken AIDS infested Faggot” and tried to have him fired from his job. Lanzas had already filed a complaint about the harassment with the Miami-Dade Commission on Human Rights, which investigates discrimination, and was awaiting a hearing.
When he was ordered deported from the United States, Diego Alejandro Rojas didn't think of himself. His mind didn't turn to the chaos that awaited him in Venezuela. He didn't linger on the death threats from the local paramilitary thugs who forced him to flee in the first place.

Last August, the bandmates released Marauder, on which they collaborated with Flaming Lips and MGMT producer Dave Fridmann. Interpol guitarist and...

Last month, when Marlins CEO Derek Jeter was asked by the Sun Sentinel whether the team planned on attracting Broward County fans, he replied: "I think for us, we have to worry about obviously getting the fan base that’s closest to us.

At first, Jeremy Sapienza's café con leche especial seems like any other Cuban eye-opener. But something is different. A dash of espresso is whipped in a gleaming pitcher with not only sugar but also a pinch of salt and a lump of cultured vegan butter. Then it's thinned with a...

Arguably the most important rule for visiting South Beach is this: Watch out for overzealous towing companies. Tow companies for years have preyed on unsuspecting tourists and residents alike — in 2013, New Times wrote in a longform feature that Miami Beach's towing companies were orchestrating a "decades-long, politically sanctioned operation to hold people's cars for ransom for hundreds of dollars" and were raking in millions each year by outright tricking drivers into parking illegally using all sorts of schemes.
By now, the havoc wreaked by opioids on communities across the United States — especially in white, rural areas — is well known.

The livelihoods of college professors have gotten increasingly precarious over the last few decades. Universities keep cutting nonscience programs and offering fewer professorships while hiring more teachers as "adjuncts," who make just a few thousand dollars per class, per semester. A recent report from the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) found that 70 percent of Florida public-university professors are now adjuncts.
The worst tragedy during Donald Trump's time as president likely already occurred: A spate of recent studies have shown that nearly 3,000 Americans died after the near-category-five Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico in 2017.
