#unitary — Public Fediverse posts

Through a political desire for unity, ‘we are documenting the transformation of the very meaning given to the principle of #laïcité, the interpretation of which has undergone a notorious shift: whereas yesterday it allowed the pluralist expression of beliefs, today it requires religious neutrality’.

Stéphanie Hennette-Vauchez in "L'École et la République - La nouvelle laïcité scolaire" (2023)

"The way in which international law crystallizes hope: hope held out and hopes dashed."

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is brazenly refusing to honor his agreement to allow a free and fair election this year.

The United States lifted some sanctions in October after the Maduro government and the Venezuelan opposition, known as the #Unitary #Platform, agreed in Barbados on a “road map” that would lead to elections.

It stipulated that all candidates would enjoy freedom of movement and assembly, that each party could select its own candidates and that they would have equal access to the media.

But Mr. Maduro has violated the agreement. In June, the regime 🔸barred #María #Corina #Machado, the most popular opposition leader🔸, from running, based on specious corruption allegations.

Ms. Machado overwhelmingly won an unofficial opposition nominating contest.

She appealed the ban, but on Jan. 26, the Maduro-controlled Supreme Court turned down her bid for reinstatement

Today is the anniversary of the victory of a militant struggle in France.
White men of left and right coordinated to push young brown and black women back to their rightful place: subaltern.

October 2003: Lycée Henri Wallon in Aubervilliers expelled two sisters for wearing headscarves. A deafening political and media controversy ensued. The polemic obtained a law enacted on 15 March 2004, that banned girls wearing headscarves from schools.

Nathalie (in 2015): "I have children to feed and I’m looking for work, so I’m taking off my headscarf. I have no choice. No choice."

There is no judicial truth. Organisations cannot "do Justice". Let's discuss the biases of the judicial institutions.

I've worked out that the injectivity radius under the Euclidean metric for the #unitary group U(n) is π and for real and special subgroups O(n), SO(n), and SU(n) is π√2.

This seems like a pretty basic property, but I can't find a single reference that gives the injectivity radii for any of these groups. Anyone know of one?
