Heeding Rev. Al Sharpton’s call for Justice Rallies in 100 cities to protest the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin, federal buildings and state houses across the country were marched on by peaceful demonstrators demanding the repeal of Stand Your Ground laws. The sentiment across the state lines were similar, protestors the country over are hoping to turn, as one rally speaker said, this “Travyon Martin moment” into a “movement.”
Even as the rain poured down on the large crowds gathered outside the Richard B. Russell Federal Building in Atlanta, protestors rallied and listened to speeches by Martin Luther King III and Bernice King.

“I’d like the world to know that Trayvon was my son. He was a loved child. He did nothing wrong and we’re not going to let them persecute him the way that they have,” Tracy Martin, father of Trayvon Martin, told the crowd of several hundred protestors gathered for the justice rally in Miami.
“I vowed to Trayvon, when he was lying in his casket, that I would use every ounce of energy in my body to seek justice for him. I will fight for Trayvon until the day I die. Not only will I fight for Trayvon, I will fight for your child as well."
Members of the emotional crowd shouted in support, "We got your back, Tracy!"

In New Orleans the justice rally focused on gun violence and racial profiling. According to the Times-Picayune , in 2011 93% of youths detained for breaking the curfew law were African American. In 2012, the leading cause of death among African American men living in New Orleans between the ages of 16 and 20 was murder. "We should not call ourselves the 'Big Easy,'" said Yvette Thierry, the executive director of Safe Streets/Strong Communities, "We should call ourselves the 'Big Hard.'"

Earlier in the day, Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon's mother, spoke to the crowd gathered outside of National Action Network's West 145th Street headquarters in Harlem. Per the New York Daily News:
"We are trying to get justice, not get something off our chests ... We are trying to change laws so that this never, ever happens again." Fulton said. "We have moved on from the verdict...Of course, we're hurting. Of course we're shocked and disappointed. But that just means we have to roll up our sleeves and fight." She added, "Today it was my son. Tomorrow it might be yours."
Fulton was joined by Jay-Z and Beyonce at a rally held Federal offices building at 1 St. Andrews Place in Lower Manhattan. Demonstrators reportedly shouted their thanks to the power couple and "No concerts in Florida!"

Even if it doesn’t always feel that way.
This week, Twitter released a visualization of the relationships between 50,000 verified Twitter users. The result, zoomed out, was a this colorful blob. The result, zoomed in, was a fascinating map of the relationships of people deemed notable by Twitter. Here's the key:
The users in this map are colored by category: blue for news, purple for government and politics, red for music, yellow for sports and green for TV — the five largest categories on Twitter today.
Twitter's takeaways: "[J]ournalists tend to follow politicians, and vice versa. The same is true of TV and music, down in the bottom right, with musicians and TV stars following each other often."
Interesting! More interesting, though, is that giant smear of yellow running through the middle. That represents Sports Twitter, and it's big — bigger than all the others. It's not clear if these were 50,000 randomly selected verified accounts or the 50,000 largest, but either way, Sports Twitter dominates.
This may come as a surprise to a lot of Twitter users — even sports fans. Twitter is not often described as a sports-centric service, and conversations about its overall influence tend to focus on news, politics and entertainment.
The dissonance most likely stems from this: sports are extremely regional and conversational in a way that television celebrities are not — think sports talk radio. Likewise, the bulk of the news conversation on Twitter, at least among verified journalists and outlets, has a national focus.
But most nights and many days, substantial areas of Twitter light up with activity about a local, state, regional sports events. These are the kinds of live events that Twitter excels at and its an audience type the company seems acutely aware of, and happy about.
Furthermore, I'm willing to bet, to borrow language from Twitter, that these fans are more "engaged" than the people who follow mostly nationally visible news, politics, and celebrity accounts.
It was also sideways.
Perhaps Marvel Studios should consider changing Thor 2 ‘s title to Loki: The Dark World ?
"Humanity, look how far you've fallen," Loki first said, in the dark. "Lining up in the sweltering heat for hours. Huddling together in the dark like BEASTS!" A flash of light, and, boom, there was Loki. Cue complete, unhinged freakout.
