Great points here from @detahmineh.bsky.social on why putting real & suspected terrorists through fair trials matters.
Rigorous due process makes the truth clearer to more people, grants the verdict legitimacy, develops relevant caselaw & helps victims record their stories in history.

Many licensing laws aren’t about protecting the public—they’re about protecting entrenched interests from competition. If you need a government permission slip to braid hair, sell lemonade, or run a food truck, you’re not living in a free society.

Banks are shutting down accounts. Why? A secret federal surveillance program.
