Everyone wants to know how this country can heal. Well, justice is a prerequisite to healing. Otherwise, an apparent resolution of conflict is just the re-victimization of forcing traumatized people to pretend everything is okay.
The children whose parents have been "lost" to ICE, the survivors of police shootings and violence against protesters, the Indigenous people vindictively stripped of their status. All these people have to be made whole before we can move on.
If we can't undo the wrongs done to them, we can at least offer compensation, a full accounting of the wrongs that were done, and just consequences for the wrongdoers. That's how we heal.
