Our March 2026 Issue: Kristi Noem Must Be Impeached →
The cover of The Nation’s March issue highlights our formal nomination of Minneapolis for the Nobel Peace Prize. A story inside explains that we made the nomination as a tribute to the city and its people, who have peacefully resisted the deadly violence that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s ICE and Border Patrol agents have brought to this Minnesota city. With mass demonstrations in below-zero weather, mutual aid programs to support immigrant neighbors, and legal strategies from Attorney General Keith Ellison (who contributes his own piece to this issue), the people of Minneapolis and their elected leaders have earned global recognition for pushing back against the Trump administration’s authoritarian machinations.

 

It was an honor to nominate Minneapolis. But, now, the proposal has gained traction—earning headlines in newspapers, sparking radio discussions, lighting up social media, and sparking sincere conversations about whether Minneapolis might get the prize, instead of the man who so desperately wants it: Donald Trump.

 

To our view, that would be poetic justice. Trump has created fear and division, while the people of Minneapolis have met the standard that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. imagined when he accepted the Peace Prize in 1964. We hope you enjoy reading our position on the nomination along with the rest of the fantastic March issue.
