As longtime observers of struggles to establish peace and justice in the US and around the world, The Nation is honored to nominate the city of Minneapolis and its people for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.
“The Nation” Nominates Minneapolis for the Nobel Peace Prize
With their resistance to violent authoritarianism, the people of Minneapolis have renewed the spirit of Dr. King’s call for “the positive affirmation of peace.”

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

Exactly correct. Bovino being replaced by Homan has not slowed down the activity by ICE all around the Metro, and spreading to areas outside the cities.
Important. There has not been a deescalation.

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

Continuing to watch local coverage of the ICE shooting in the Whittier neighborhood. Don't live in this neighborhood but have friends who do. Numb & enraged at all the same time.
January 24, 2026 at 5:48 PM
@kare11.bsky.social have reporters in the Whittier neighborhood covering the aftermath of this 3rd shooting. Flash-bangs, gas & whatever else were fired into the crowd. Their camera-people captured the chaos & how close those items landed to them & the reporters.
January 24, 2026 at 5:05 PM
@janashortal.bsky.social was assaulted by ICE a short while ago, unprovoked. Behind the 'required' line, her press credentials visible. Also verbally identified herself as press. Didn't matter - pepper-sprayed her in the eye. Reporting on the 3rd involved ICE shooting in MPLS w/ @joemccoynews

Interesting how being humiliated by Donald Trump was all it took for Rubio to transform from the fresh young face of the Republican Party into the kind of two-bit authoritarian thug he's defined his career in opposition to.
Newly unsealed evidence makes it even clearer that Rubio and Noem knew they were targeting students based solely on their political speech and that they knew this policy was unconstitutional. They just didn’t care. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

"Like many other blue states, Minnesota pays more to the federal government than it takes in. But why should the state continue to subsidize a government bent on destroying it? What if it just…didn’t?"

A big question from @snipy.bsky.social in @atrupar.com's PN:

What if we just stopped paying taxes?
Where there's a will there (might) be a way.
