Last year, seemingly overnight, hundreds of brightly colored bicycles from companies like Lime and Ofo began popping up everywhere in Miami.

He and other county officials are fed up...

Before Solo cups became the stuff of beer pong and mystery punch in the realm of teenage iconography, they were the conduits of makeshift fence signage. Messages like "CONGRATS CLASS OF '18" and "GO FALCONS" are spelled out by plastic circles in front of schools all over America...
Beaker & Gray's chef Brian Nasajon will open his second restaurant, Mason, on Monday, June 4.

No matter their feelings toward Kesha, no one wanted to sit through a Macklemore concert.
Udonis Haslem wants to continue playing basketball. Confirmed. You can forget about him hanging it up. Return all of those golf clubs and fishing lure retirement gifts — he'll be putting on a jersey next season. Which jersey Udonis dons, though, is a surprising story now. Even more surprising is the fact that his jersey could belong to a team in China, Europe, or any another country overseas.

Just how deep in trouble is Miami-area U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo? Long before national signs pointed toward a blue tsunami this fall, Democrats had already targeted him — an obvious choice since Hillary Clinton crushed Donald Trump in Curbelo's district by an eye-popping 16 points.

In 2012, Miami-Dade County became one of the first places to test a gunshot-detection technology called ShotSpotter, which uses acoustic sensors to alert police to gunfire. But after a year of the pilot program, the county abandoned the system over concerns about its effectiveness: Officers were able to confirm only 50 shootings of 1,000 supposedly detected by ShotSpotter, and the department couldn't point to a single crime the technology helped solve.
Greenfield searches for commonalities between her subjects, linking the tacky and Trumpy nouveau riche to the strippers and pornographic performers who embody her conviction that for American women the body itself is a commodity
This country does not do earnestness well. We would rather turn you into a meme than lend you an understanding ear. We have trouble digesting sincerity unless it’s wrapped in something less vulnerable. Perhaps that’s part of the reason some folks have so much trouble with J. Cole. His...

After another year of fear-mongering news reports and an overwhelming police presence at Memorial Day festivities in South Beach, the worst gun-related incident of the weekend came after a false rumor of gunfire. A brief panic erupted around 8:15 last night near Ocean Drive, sparking a minor stampede that left one person injured.
At the Surf Club Restaurant, a ritzy remake of a 1930s classic, waiters are referred to as captains, beef Wellington sells for $125, and reservations must be made weeks in advance even though the place opened less than a month ago. Its prices and quality are among Miami's highest, rivaling...
An article, a book and now a film, Talese’s fascination with Foos’ voyeurism still hasn’t resulted in anything like rigorous journalism
In 1996, Democrats and Republicans of all stripes were united in what they then referred to as "welfare reform," a project designed to make it more difficult for low-income Americans to obtain benefits such as food stamps or Medicaid. By making it harder to get assistance, politicos argued, the poor would try harder to get work. After passing a law banning felons with drug convictions from receiving food stamps, the feds said the reforms would also strike a blow to drug crimes.
Medical marijuana is not at all like other prescribed drugs. It's a living, cultivated product. Whereas most pharmaceuticals are mass-produced according to recipes that result from chemical testing and engineering, cannabis is a crop.

In January 2016, 15-year-old Alder Hill was bicycling home through Liberty City when someone jumped him, dragged him into a grassy field, and sprayed his body full of bullets. Dozens of people soon gathered at the murder scene, some snapping photos of the dead teen and uploading them to social media.
In January 2017, Carlos Gimenez became the first big-city mayor in America to capitulate to Donald Trump's hollow Twitter threats. Miami-Dade County was not, in fact, a "sanctuary" community, he said before ordering his jails to honor Immigration and Customs Enforcement "detainer" requests. The county began holding immigrants for up to 48 hours on ICE's behalf. The county commission even ratified Gimenez's rule change a month later.
The internet has been a boon to modern moms in many ways. It has provided stay-at-home moms with contact and communication with the outside world. It has practically created the work-at-home mom. And just as important, it has given moms a way to vent, to get real — often with hilarious results.
The Parade Against Patriarchy comes at the close of a year when women rose up to say "no more" to sexual harassment, among many other consequences that result from a patriarchal system.
