For years, the Civilian Investigative Panel (CIP) has been warning the Miami Police Department that its cops keep refusing to use their body cameras. Despite the fact that more than $1 million in federal and local public money had been spent on the cameras, the CIP — an independent group that looks into complaints against police — found in 2016 that dozens of cops still weren't recording or uploading footage. In 2017, the CIP criticized MPD a second time for not fixing the problem.

Both of those guys now spend every morning tweeting in their bathrobes while marching the nation ever closer to fascism and the climate-change apocalypse. Things are very, very bad right now, and it is largely Florida's fault.

Los Angeles-based dancer Jay Jackson says that when she was a child, her parents placed her in soccer.

She ultimately found her niche in a dance class where the girls accepted her femininity and where she discovered herself as she watched her movements in the mirror.
Miami has the Dolphins, the greatest football team. To some, those are the opening lyrics to the best fight song of all time: "Miami Dolphins Number One," penned by Lee Ofman prior to the Fins' undefeated 1972 season. To others, that sentence is a good sign someone needs to be Baker Acted or has been in a coma for the past three decades.
By the middle of 2016, it seemed like Marco Rubio had become a failed presidential candidate doomed to sit at home on his couch going bald while watching Donald Trump confuse the lyrics of "God Bless America" with the theme song from Growing Pains.

There's already plenty of depression to go around in South Florida before this Memorial Day. Traffic is gonna be a ludicrous nightmare thanks to Miami Beach's totally not-race-related crackdown on Urban Beach Week. The Marlins belong in the trash can, and the Dolphins will probably be even worse. And now, a tropical depression might just roll over the peninsula for the holiday weekend.
