You may have read about the woman who gave birth in a Brooklyn courtroom Friday night while waiting to be arraigned. I spoke to an attorney who saw the whole thing, and says it was much worse than has previously been reported, a scene of "complete violence." hellgatenyc.com/birth-in-bro...

Is the phrase "tax the rich" the same as uttering "some disgusting racial slurs"? The answer to that question, apparently, depends on your net worth.

This was a gathering of oligarchs at a time when most New Yorkers are meting out their nickels on the grocery store line, hoping they can afford the inflated price of bread.

Everyone read this thing my cohorts have been working THEIR ASSES OFF on for a freaking year, both because of that and because it is USEFUL for you as a new yorker!!! assuming you are a new yorker! but even if you are not you should read it!!

In Hell Gate's newest column, Creative Accounting, we'll show the good, the bad, and the ugly in the finances of New York City's working artists.

"We have the ideas and the creativity and the ability to do really amazing things...And I'm kind of like, we need to just do this on our own." How the two-month-long Trans Art Fest represents a DIY, community-led alternative to institutional exile and the rainbow capitalism apparatus:

Read @akramherrak.bsky.social's dive into how the Moroccan metal scene he came up in developed into the thriving community it is today—from bootleg VHS tapes of 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘉𝘢𝘭𝘭, to the brief 2003 jailing of metal musicians, to local bands gaining fans worldwide:
