I don't really know how to summarize this story about a Manhattan public school council finally rescinding its hated anti-trans resolution, except to say that school committee politics are as colorful and messy as anything in City Hall and far from inconsequential: hellgatenyc.com/cecd2-anti-t...

Building a media ecosystem that's structurally resilient to authoritarian pressure is kind of important right now! Here at @hellgatenyc.com, we believe that worker-ownership is a critical part of building a future for journalism that doesn't knuckle under to power. www.hellgatenyc.com/membership

The CCRB substantiated misconduct charges Wednesday against the cops who killed Win Rozario. Given the glacial pace of police discipline in NYC, whether or not these cops get fired will likely be up to the police commissioner appointed by the next mayor. hellgatenyc.com/misconduct-c...

You’re crazy for this illustration, @k80way.bsky.social hellgatenyc.com/curtis-sliwa...

The NYT gets many things about life in the borderlands wrong, but this is remarkably clear eyed

Everyone’s making jokes. I don’t get how you aren’t moved by the pathos of a woman trying, however clumsily, to find one good friend. How many other ways did she try to find connection before now? How many other people tossed potato chip money back in her hopeful face? But she keeps searching.

The Table of Success DOES NOT MISS!

If Democrats are serious about winning elections, they will do well to steer clear of extreme and alienating “woke” rhetoric like calls to defund the secret police.

Looked at another way, @hellgatenyc.com was responsible for 0.16% of all job growth in NYC so far this year.

Moral injury maxing.

a thing i simply cannot get over, as The Media collapses for i think the 5th time in my adult life, is what the fuck business the people who own these publications think they are in. shouldn’t the point be to just make enough money making the articles to make more articles

I love this website so goddamn much. And I don’t want to jinx it but I have a suspicion that Liv Veazey is going to be a real big deal someday soonish.

Did you know: Your Supporter or Believer subscription tier Hell Gate sticker is the *perfect size* to be placed alongside our fair city’s other gate stickers. What do *you* do with *your* sticker? DM or email us photos at [email protected].

According to an email obtained by Hell Gate, Ricky Sandler, the head of Eminence Capital, wants to kickstart a super PAC to take down the Democratic nominee and "improve the image of Eric Adams." hellgatenyc.com/anti-mamdani...

A little chilly at the beach after a long day in the sun? Grab yourself a Hell Gate towel to keep yourself warm 🫂

Shea Stadium x Hell Gate beach party at Rippers 👍

Hell Gate is throwing a beach party in the Rockaways tonight and you're invited.

The museum of the banality of evil has many rooms and exhibits and its latest acquisition is a stunner: this piece by Liv Veazey which opens on her eavesdropping on some ICE agents in a cafe before following them to their job snatching people at NYC immigration court. hellgatenyc.com/what-ice-age...

I just renewed my hellgatenyc.com subscription and am glad to do so. I've been relying on Hell Gate for local news and analysis every day for the past year. Even if budget is tight & you think paywalls suck it's worth supporting independent and local owned news, now more than ever @hellgatenyc.com

This is the commissioner that powerful interests are now pressuring Zohran Mamdani to promise to keep on the job if he becomes mayor as a token of his commitment to law and order.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch wants to let the cop who shot Allan Feliz to death skate. Thanks to @hellgatenyc.com, New Yorkers can read the full findings of the NYPD’s own Deputy Commissioner of Trials, who determined that the cop lied and should be fired: hellgatenyc.com/nypd-trial-j...

When we ran this interview 12 days ago, I wasn’t yet completely convinced that India Walton’s experience of winning a Democratic primary in 2021 only to have the rich and powerful inside and outside her party go to shocking lengths to destroy her was going to be particularly apropos. 🤷‍♂️

Well done @hellgatenyc.com for this coverage

OK well at this point they are also going to need to throw in a free NYT Cooking subscription.

Man, if anybody knows of any NYC news outlets that have been covering this mayoral race seriously and not publishing weird dick-tripping attempted smears based on hacked private data supplied by eugenicists, could you please get at me with recommendations? Worker-owned publications, only, please.

A week ago, New York City witnessed a seismic political shift. And Hell Gate was there livestreaming all of it! So please enjoy the highlights from Hell Gate's primary night election stream—featuring @chiosse.bsky.social, @michaellangenyc.bsky.social, and @msolurin.bsky.social!

Following my earlier reporting on the alarming rate at which political appointees are overruling investigators to make police misconduct cases disappear, the CCRB has tightenened restrictions on who can see those numbers. But as I report today, it’s still happening: hellgatenyc.com/ccrb-appoint...

A great visionary who worked to realize a vision of this country that once seemed possible. An extraordinary human being & superb journalist who contributed to our shared understanding of our country and of one another. Rest in Peace Bill Moyers. @pbs www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/b...

Eric Adams's reelection campaign launch sounds like a real circus: hellgatenyc.com/shambolic-la...

One detail missing in this Times article: Loeb is one of the billionaires who held a secret meeting with Adams last spring, urging him to turn the NYPD loose on Columbia student protesters. Days later, Adams did just that. Mamdani has said he wouldn't have. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/...

NEW EPISODE OF THE HELL GATE PODCAST Zohran Mamdani....won????? Join sleep-deprived but no less game Hell Gate staff as they talk about the biggest political upset in city history. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/z...

I asked India Walton what Zohran Mamdani should be thinking about right now, as an upstart DSA-backed mayoral candidate who just won a primary election against the assembled forces of the ultrawealthy and his own party's establishment. She had some advice: hellgatenyc.com/india-walton...

I'm generally wary when journalists interview their cab driver, but Chris's account of his ride home from Mamdani's victory party with a cabbie who's been ride-or-die for Zohran ever since he helped get debt forgiveness for medallion holders is telling and beautiful: hellgatenyc.com/mamdani-vict...

I can't think of another photographer I'd rather have had with me at the weird sad underpopulated Cuomo election watch party last night than John Taggart, because this truly was the vibe. Click through for the full dose: hellgatenyc.com/andrew-cuomo...

Good morning. It's a new morning in New York City. Here's our first take on what happened last night. hellgatenyc.com/new-morning-...

Andrew Cuomo with a profoundly ambiguous concession speech just now: “He won. We’re going to take a look. We’ll make some decisions.”

I am not the first person to say it, but the mind of the American voter is wild and unfathomable.

If this has happened to you today, get in touch with us at [email protected]. Read more on our live blog: hellgatenyc.com/hell-gate-ny...

At PS 249 in Flatbush this morning, the voters @nickpinto.bsky.social talked to were mostly ranking either Mamdani or Lander first. What did they think of Cuomo? "Corrupt." "A creep." "A disaster." hellgatenyc.com/hell-gate-ny...
