What It Takes To See Justice And Accountability: George Takei

This is an excellent article about the moment we are in. (my words)

'Sometimes it feels like justice will never be served, but in these moments we must remember that accountability is a road to walk, not just a destination...It’s a common sentiment. People have grown tired, and even feel gaslit, over the maddeningly slow pace of justice...That an ex-president plotted to overturn the 2020 election, incited insurrectionists, and then stole and deliberately refused to turn over some of our nation’s top secrets, yet still dances around Mar-a-Lago, albeit badly, two years later as a free man understandably gets many people’s blood boiling...

So to the tantalizing question posed by the title of this piece, “When will we see justice and accountability?” I say this: We are already seeing it, through the January 6 Committee Hearings, the methodical work of the Justice Department, and the accelerated and more focused work of Special Counsel Jack Smith.

So my advice is this: Don’t sit this out and simply wait for an outcome....Remain engaged, vigilant, and demanding of the truth and of results. That is how we move down the path toward an endpoint as satisfyingly cathartic as seeing Trump in prison. That is how we create accountability and nurture true justice in America...We must view our present point in the journey toward accountability as no less important than the endpoint itself—perhaps more so, because only with continued engagement and vigilance by all of us will we achieve the justice we seek.
