A Cuban-American Miamian Created the Viral Cover of Trump Beheading Lady Liberty

Have you seen the latest issue of Der Spiegel? That’s normally an odd question in Miami, which is not exactly bursting with subscriptions to Germany’s favorite weekly news magazine. But thanks to a brutal cover illustration of Donald Trump holding holding the bloodied, severed head of Lady Liberty, everyone is talking about this week’s edition.

Five Reasons Miami-Dade Needs Better Mayoral Candidates

Carlos Gimenez, the mayor of Miami-Dade County, is a man so boring he might actually just be a pile of wood pulp with googly eyes stuck to the sides. So it’s somewhat surprising to see pro-immigration activists marching through the streets of Miami, chanting, “Shame on you!” at the mayor,…

GOP Reps Want to Take Away Cities’ Right to Pay More to Blue-Collar Workers

Fair-pay rights for the people who build houses, install piping, or wire electrical circuits have been slowly but surely crippled over the past 50 years. Unions have been broken, worker protections have been destroyed, and formerly blue-voting laborers have increasingly turned to people like Donald Trump to ensure their messages are heard instead of supporting a Democratic Party that has become blind to their economic struggles.

Hundreds Blast Gimenez, Demand Miami Remain Sanctuary City for Immigrants

The civic, political, and intellectual weight of yesterday’s protest against Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez was huge. Political players like Miami Beach Commissioner Kristen Rosen Gonzalez and Florida’s American Civil Liberties Union Director Howard Simon turned up to speak in front of roughly 300 demonstrators. But the most poignant moment…

Hundreds at Miami Airport Protest Trump’s Muslim Ban Amid Heavy Police Presence

By 3:30 p.m. Sunday, three Miami-Dade County Police wagons were parked outside Departure Gate 9 at Miami International Airport. A battalion of county cops stood elbow-to-elbow in the middle of the street, at least one clad in a K-9 Unit vest. Multiple times, the cops had threatened to arrest members of the more than 300-person crowd that had gathered at MIA to protest President Trump’s Muslim-travel ban.

Here Are the Steps to Recall a Miami-Dade Mayor, in Case Anyone Wants Them

To initiate a recall vote in Miami-Dade County, one must first send a proposal to the county clerk, who must, according to county law, make sure your legal petition is up to snuff, legally speaking. You’re free to try to recall any elected official in Miami, from the county property appraiser to anyone on the county commission to — oh, just for the sake of argument — the county mayor himself.

Miami Civil Rights Groups Plan Rally Against Trump’s Muslim Ban at 5 p.m. Today

To put things bluntly, America’s president has spent the past 24 hours attacking brown people. First, Donald Trump announced he’s bullheadedly pushing forward with Building! The! Wall! despite the fact that the fastest-growing group of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. is flying in from Asia. He’s also banning refugees from seven Muslim countries in the name of homeland security despite the fact that nearly every post-9/11 assailant in this country has been a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.

Jeb Bush Refuses to Confirm if He Is Actually “Comrade Jeb,” World’s Best Meme

During President Donald Trump’s inauguration events this past Friday, Richard Spencer, the neo-Nazi Ken doll, stood on a street corner in Washington, D.C., explaining the significance of the Pepe the Frog meme to a reporter who has apparently never once used the internet. Then the crowds parted as if moved by the archangel Metatron himself, and a masked hero jumped into the crowd — and socked Spencer in the face.

Most of Miami’s Democratic Politicians Skipped the Women’s March

It wasn’t that difficult to attend at least one event related to Saturday’s Women’s March on Washington. Marches were, in fact, planned in every single major American city and tons of smaller satellite cities, including tiny Lubbock, Texas; and Key West, Florida. Miami held its own rally at the Bayfront Park Amphitheatre, which concluded with a protest march through city streets. All you had to do was show up and march.
