This is one we had to look up to make sure it wasn't some brilliant parody. Minneapolis, Minnesota, initially entered the public spotlight due to the multi-billion-dollar fraud going on in the state through bogus programs like "Feeding Our Future" and Somali daycares that didn't have any children in them. Then, ICE surged in the city, and now the state has been taken over by boomers protesting ICE by doing everything from conducting sit-ins at Target to setting up roadblocks to ensure no ICE vehicles get through.
The Nation has been watching the violence and chaos, and has sent its nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize to the Nobel committee, hoping the city is recognized for interfering with federal law enforcement.
🚨 BREAKING: Minneapolis has been nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, a move that would mark the first time an entire city is put forward.

It makes even less sense than Barack Obama's.
Idiocy

I can’t even tell if this is satire or not.

They are literally creating war with law enforcement. Does that sound like peace?

Wow. Nobel is completely compromised to the point of irrelevancy.

I now officially put Nobel Peace Prize in the same category as winning a free small fry in the Monopoly game at McDonald’s

If there's one thing that screams peace to the normal person, it's riotous people in the streets attacking law enforcement and paid agitators, ill informed citizens, and corrupt politicians protecting child rapists from deportation.

A literal utopia.
The nomination aims to honor the "whistles" and "nonviolent resistance" of Minneapolis residents in the face of Operation Metro Surge, but it could just be making up for missing the prize in 2020 for rioting, looting, and arson.
