“Alfred Dreyfus imprisoned on Devils Island
Accused of selling military secrets to Germany and convicted in an irregular trial against a backdrop of anti-Semitism, French officer Alfred Dreyfus was imprisoned this day in 1895 on Devils Island, off French Guiana.

Now they have to coddle it, and where necessary co- opt it, and its ideas, to keep a precarious coalition together. But on top of the polit- ical risks of embracing the Squad, leadership cannot trust it. The Squad poses an existential threat because it is anathema to the establishment. ” “American Ingrate,” Weingarten
