It feels sometimes like little can shock, but this reporting by @thomasfullerNYT and @joshhaner on the slums in one of the wealthiest areas in one of the wealthiest nations, ours, stopped me short. How do we allow it? How do we care so little for our own? nytimes.com/interactive/20…
@thomasfullerNYT @joshhaner Journalistically, these are the places we should be going, the stories we should be telling, and the storytelling techniques used here respect both our time and their humanity. What they reveal here is in a word: Immoral. 
@thomasfullerNYT @joshhaner It's striking to me that virtually no political candidates, no matter their politics, are addressing the dire poverty of so many Americans. We have valorized this mythical middle class while judging the poor unworthy of our resources and attention. I feel ashamed.
