Of course it survives! Special interests always seem to find a way. Miami's skyline remains under siege as the city fails to stand up to corporate giants.

Sharing is caring. Miami deserves transformational change now! Vote for Damian Pardo for Miami City Commissioner, and let's tackle corruption, special interests, and bring real progress to Miami. Your vote is your voice—use it for a better Miami!

Talk is cheap, but actions speak volumes. While other candidates merely talk about fighting for our community, I'm on the front lines, battling City Hall's attempts to dismantle our Maurice Ferré Park. See the full story.

At this week's commission meeting, I spoke up for our parks, open spaces, and efforts to address homelessness and keep downtown clean and safe. Our community deserves accessible green spaces and solutions to help those in need. Grateful my voice was heard.

Appalling. Miami police treating the homeless like cattle, herding them away from the 'Bad Boys' film set as if they're an inconvenience to be hidden. This isn't just about a movie; it's about covering up the city's failure to address the homeless crisis. Disgraceful.

More disturbing scenes from our downtown neighborhoods - overflowing trash, litter, and the homelessness crisis, are becoming increasingly common. These conditions are unacceptable. Our downtown deserves better!

Hey
@sabinacovo
, blocking constituents on social media goes against the principles of transparency and accountability. If fact, now that this account is your official city account (city link, official title, and posting city business), it seems your actions are not kosher...

@SabinaCovo
couldn’t handle the heat just like her progressive counterpart - amiguita
@Annette_Taddeo
Let me guess? 🤔 Taddeo recommended Covo to block me? And where is former Senator Taddeo today? She’s no longer a Senator, nor is she a FL Governor, nor the FL Dem’s Chairwoman!

Hey Folks,
We hear you.
The PAMM GIANT BILLBOARD MUST GO.
As you know, we have led the fight against these giant boards from day one. We continue working tirelessly to deliver on our duty to bring it down, and we believe it is important to highlight our process.

Miami's harsh reality. A tale of two cities.
@CityofMiami
only cared when Hollywood came for Bad Boys 4, cleaned up for optics then neglecting the homeless crisis after. We need real solutions for public health, safety and dignity - not fake clean-ups.

Kudos to

and the contractor for addressing our concerns about merging onto the 836/I-95 for the Signature Bridge project. Their responsiveness led to the addition of two lanes, easing traffic congestion. Thank you for making Miami better!

🚨 Billboard Update! Despite the Planning & Zoning Board's deferral of the proposed code change to allow for massive digital advertising murals in our community, Mayor Suarez blatantly adds the item to next week's agenda. This brazen attempt to ram it through is unacceptable!

Eddie Leal supporting Covo? Birds of a feather indeed. It seems some are willing to trade their values for the promise of a job. Sad. I remain committed to the real needs of our community, not personal gain. Miami deserves better!

: Eddy Leal, Miami Mafia scumbag & former lawyer for criminal Mayor Francis Suarez, struck backroom deal with Sabina Covo, corrupt Joe Carollo, city manager Art Noriega for a city job in exchange for this endorsement. A VOTE FOR COVO IS A VOTE FOR CAROLLO!

As I told

, "It's really in your face. It intrudes on the skyline." Lowe's, tequila, luxury fashion - some "art connection," PAMM!
@CityofMiami
says it violates the lease. So why's this 1,800 sq ft eyesore still up? No more excuses - take it down!

Unacceptable doesn't even begin to cover it.
This morning in Miami transit. Probably thousands of stranded riders (photo of people at Douglas Road waiting on a shuttle). A few stations are straight up shut down.
How many people are missing court hearings or showing up late to work because the system is screwed.

How do we feel,
@OfficialJoelF
? Outraged! Lowe's and Saint Laurent ads masquerading as "culture"? PAMM promised "museum-related content" but delivered a glorified shopping mall billboard. This 1800 sq ft monstrosity violates multiple laws & lease agreements.
@Damianpardo8
How do we feel about this large digital billboard outside of PAMM in downtown Miami?
It recently started displaying ads from Lowe’s and Saint Laurent but also PAMM-related stuff

The casualties of so-called 'progress' – decades-old trees mercilessly chopped down on Brickell. It's been weeks, yet the silence from City Hall is deafening. This is a travesty against nature, a wanton destruction of our City's tree canopy.

The homeless crisis in downtown Miami can't be swept aside for a movie shoot. While Hollywood glamorizes our city in Bad Boys 4, let's remember it's a facade – temporary and superficial. Downtowners face this issue daily, long after the limelight fades.
