🚨 NEW TOOL: PEOPLE RELATIONS (BETA) 🚨
🔎 DIG DEEP. CONNECT THE DOTS.
I’ve built a powerful tool to help you search names and uncover how people, entities, and organizations connect. Visualize relationships in an interactive graph and see who’s tied to whom – all in just a few clicks.
Here’s what you can do:
✅ Search by Name – Enter any keyword and quickly see matching individuals
✅ Color-Coded Categories – Instantly differentiate connections like FAMILY, WORK, POLITICAL, LEGAL, and more.
✅ Interactive Graph Exploration – Pan and zoom with ease. Download your findings as SVG for offline analysis.
✅ Bullet Summaries – Each node can include key info to help you grasp context at a glance.
💡 Whether you're investigating personal ties, mapping historical links, or demanding greater transparency, this BETA tool places massive relational data at your fingertips.
⚠️ Still ironing out the edges and @watilo will go fix it – thanks for your patience! Data-heavy and best viewed on desktop.

🧵 (Re-posting after it was accidentally made exclusive)
Doing a thought-of-consciousness thread here. First up, Troublemakers. They are small and grassroots, with no EIN that I could link to them yet. They were featured in a news article wherein they asked Amazon to stop buying fracked gas from GTN XPress - which seems to be a highly specific request.
🧵 I was curious about this coordination, so I dived into this with AI and came up with a lot of names. Thread follows:
First off, the Senate Democratic Caucus operates a Senate Democratic Media Center (SDMC), which “serves as a one-stop-shop for Democratic offices looking for high-level digital assets,” providing video editors, studios, and digital strategists for coordinated content.
AI speculates that content was centrally developed – most likely under the direction of Senate Democratic leadership’s communications arm – and then executed by the senators’ communications staff in coordination.
But the rabbit hole doesn't end here. Hang on...
AI speculates one specific person is leading this: Justin Goodman, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's former communications director.
And indeed, if you go to his website, his biography brags about him as “the chief spokesman for every Senate battle in recent memory.”
In addition to Goodman, Schumer’s communications director and the staff at the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee (DPCC) or the Strategic Communications Committee (SCC) in the Senate likely spearheaded this effort.
The DPCC/SCC is essentially the messaging and media strategy hub for Senate Democrats.
AI speculates that SDMC’s Video Production Director Nora Younkin would have handled the technical creation of the videos.
1️⃣ Organized all relationships into seven key categories: Political, Social, Business, Media, Family, Historical, Educational, and Other.
2️⃣ Eliminated redundant symmetrical cycles for a cleaner structure.
3️⃣ Removed less-relevant nodes to improve clarity.
4️⃣ Developed a scalable indexing system for better navigation and floating relationships between adjacent nodes.
I know this took longer than expected, so here's another (unpolished) preview—this time featuring Volodymyr Zelenskyy. 🎭🎤

Here's the high-res SVG preview featuring Volodymyr Zelenskyy—raw, unpolished, but still packed with insights! (And you can see why it's a process to get it to be user friendly!) 🚀
I’m exploring two options for displaying the data:
1️⃣ Full Connection Map – A giant, downloadable SVG that includes everything for those who want the full depth of connections. 📂🔍
2️⃣ Browser-Friendly Version – A streamlined, trimmed-down display optimized for smooth viewing directly in the browser. 🌐⚡
Still refining both—stay tuned! This will be my greatest tool yet, so be patient! 🚀
