Despite seemingly unbridgeable gaps between races and genders and political parties, Franti says the real battle is the personal tug-of-war between cynicism and optimism.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller has turned in his report on alleged Russian interference to the Justice Department. Very few people know what Mueller has been up to for the last two-odd years — maybe he's proved that Donald Trump met Vladimir Putin at a Cheesecake Factory in Volgograd, where they...
Climate change will hurt working-class and poor communities the hardest. Monsoons and absurd levels of heat are already battering huge portions of India, for example. Closer to home, much has already been written about "climate gentrification" in Miami — that is, the process by which wealthier people are buying...
Ashley Moody wants to be Florida's "top cop." It's pretty significant, then, that her Republican campaign to be Florida's attorney general is being bankrolled by Boca Raton's GEO Group, one of the two largest private-prison firms in America. According to campaign-finance data available online, Moody's political-action committee, Friends of Ashley...
The Miami Police Department has been banned since 1998 from arresting homeless people for sleeping outside or from destroying their property on public sidewalks. Thanks to a decade-long ACLU lawsuit that resulted in that '98 agreement, cops must give the homeless a chance to enter a shelter before they can be arrested for "life-sustaining" activities such as showering outdoors.

Today President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions and announced that his chief of staff, Matthew Whitaker, would become acting attorney general. Whitaker is a former U.S. attorney in Iowa, but he was also involved in a Miami-based invention-marketing company that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) shut down last year after calling it a scam.
Ken Detzner, Florida's secretary of state, once conducted a voter-roll purge so obvious that the U.S. Department of Justice had to swoop in and stop him. Earlier this year, Detzner brazenly tried to prevent the state from opening more early-voting sites at colleges, which a judge said “reveal[ed] a stark pattern of discrimination.”...
The United Nations recently told everyone on Earth to stop emitting carbon dioxide into the air by 2050. Despite this warning, Florida Power & Light (FPL), the largest energy company in the Sunshine State, is now all but definitely building a fracked-gas-burning power plant in Dania Beach. Today, Florida's Siting Board, a panel consisting of Gov. Rick Scott and his cabinet, unanimously approved FPL's $888 million plan.
Good news! Wages are finally rising in Miami-Dade County, a major metro area where the median income is a paltry $46,000, which is much lower than that of other cities of comparable size, such as Boston, Philadelphia, and Seattle. Whoops, we forgot to mention one thing, though: Miami-area housing prices are rising way faster than those wages.
The image of the prototypical feminist has not changed much since its inception: She’s angry, unshaven, and suspicious of men, if not downright misandrist. Judy Chicago, on the other hand, laughs easily. She wears dangling blue earrings and affectionately introduces her husband.

At universities across the nation, female professors have long complained about being paid less than their male colleagues. Data from the U.S. Department of Education shows their concerns are justified: As of 2015, male professors made an average of $18,200 more annually than female professors.
Molly Lu was desperate for a taste of home. For more than a decade, she's lived in Miami with her Cuban husband, Miguel Astorquiza, longing for the roast duck and crispy pork belly she grew up with in Jiangmen just outside of Macau. "My dad has three sisters and two brothers, and all of them own Cantonese barbecue restaurants...
Maybe you think you can live just fine in the postapocalyptic future that Americans are creating by pumping carbon emissions into the air. You're OK with the dead trees, the flooded city streets, the extinct alligators. You'll be cool living life in your windowless bunker and traveling across town in a series of air-conditioned tunnels...
The Brooklyn-based outfit makes richly textured '60s psych-pop loaded with fuzzy guitar riffs.
On Thursday, as a new batch of Broward County ballots was counted, the margins grew tighter in several key Florida races. Those slim margins illustrate the importance of every single vote — but at least one overseas voter in Broward says the county elections office botched her ballot, raising questions about whether it was counted at all.
For the family at its heart, everything seems to be in constant, even terrifying disorder, and yet nothing really changes — not after one son discovers he’s different, not even after dad knocks out mom’s teeth

We live in uncertain times. But through all the ups and downs, one man has remained reliable, if only in his inconsistency. That man is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., better known as Snoop Dogg. Deliciously chill, Snoop answers to no one and nothing. His is a brand that has left a timeless legacy, defying shifts...
In recent years, the Miami Design Preservation League has become one of the loudest voices against harmful development across the county. It has battled gentrification in Little Havana, the trend of McMansions replacing historic homes, and a plan to turn the Miami Beach Community Church courtyard into a retail store. In many cases, the scrappy nonprofit has challenged the county's biggest developers and lobbyists.
Even before Pérez Art Museum Miami’s big opening night for the exhibition of historical and archival materials from Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s Surrounded Islands, it was clear this would be a different kind of show. As Christo himself said during a private tour a few days before the official opening: “This is not a normal exhibition. It’s a documentary exhibition — it goes beyond a work of art. It’s more like a museum of natural history.”
