... The Nobel Peace Prize has never been given to a city in the past, typically only going to individuals and organizations.

Minneapolis has been in the spotlight in recent weeks, after the fatal shootings of U.S. citizens Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents in the city.

Following the tragic incidents, there have been ongoing anti-ICE protests taking place in the city and other parts of the country, sparking wider debate about the actions of ICE agents in the country. Many stores, restaurants and businesses have also taken part in economic blackouts.

A brilliantly appropriate choice.

"The Nobel Peace Prize has never been given to a city in the past"

In World War II, the British gave the Victoria Cross to the entirety of Malta, for resisting the fascists.

In World War II, Malta also faced the threat of enemy paratroopers.

The comparison with Minnesota is eerie.

I hope they win. It's been a real lesson in class for Minnesota.

Not that Trump understands.

A leson in patriotism in the face of an armed force very ready to kill them.

I hope they get it, if only to make the dump not happy.

I'm glad they have 10,000+ lakes in Minnesota. Der Dotard is about to try to set the place aflame...

What a fantastic troll it would be if Minnesota won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Did they beat the nomination deadline?

Although tragic, the situation in Minnesota isn't a world changer.

I suspect this nomination is a symbolic gesture to rub Trump's nose in his own highly publicized epic failure ~~ otherwise known as kick in the nads.

A brilliant move, in my opinion, that will serve its purpose for a long time.

Finally MN, is literally creating a place that they know who's coming and going in and out of their neighborhoods.

Good for them
