Why are relationship maps valuable?
We all deal with a lot of information spread across TV, tweets, newspapers and online. How do you cope stay abreast of things with limited time and energy? Relationship maps help connect the dots visually and provide links to more information. You can get a sense of where people were. Put a face to name and see how they were involved. Who they interacting with.
Relationship maps are not a comprehensive source of all the information on a topic, but they organize information into a form that’s easy to grasp and share with others. Kumu relationship maps can be viewed from a phone, tablet or laptop and automatically adjust to the size of the screen.
You can skim through information or search for a term or an individual. Clicking on a person reveals more details. For instance in this example when you click on Mick Mulvaney it show his tweet and how his family members were involved in organizing the Jan 6th rally.
Click on Ron Johnson and you see a video of him trying to dodge reporters and the texts that his staff was having with the Vice President’s staff.
Relationship maps are stored online, and can be updated with new information as it becomes available.
The choice in front of us
“At the Reagan Presidential Library, Liz Cheney warned: “[W]e are confronting a domestic threat that we have never faced before—and that is a former president who is attempting to unravel the foundations of our constitutional republic, and he is aided by Republican leaders and elected officials who have made themselves willing hostages to this dangerous and irrational man.”
“Donald Trump attempted to overturn the presidential election. He attempted to stay in office and to prevent the peaceful transfer of presidential power. He summoned a mob to Washington, He knew they were armed on January 6th. He knew they were angry. And he directed the violent mob to march on the Capitol in order to delay or prevent completely the counting of electoral votes. He attempted to go there with them. And when the violence was underway, he refused to take action to tell the rioters to leave. Instead, he incited further violence by tweeting that the vice president, Mike Pence, was a coward. He said ‘Mike deserves it,’ and he didn’t want to do anything in response to the ‘Hang Mike Pence’ chants. It’s undeniable. It’s also painful for Republicans to accept.”
She concluded: “The reality that we face today as Republicans, as we think about the choice in front of us, we have to choose because Republicans cannot both be loyal to Donald Trump and loyal to the Constitution.” – Letters from an American
