Alice Dubiel 🔬💉🦠😷🌬☮️<p>Alex Gibney made a great documentary about the Trump family’s efforts to use the deadliness of the Covid virus and deliberate refusal to use public healthcare to save lives when they learned “essential” black workers were predominantly vulnerable and dying of the disease. Now he’s back about Dark Money. Extension of interview will be available later today.<br><a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/DarkMoney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DarkMoney</span></a> <br><a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2025/4/15/alex_gibney_dark_money_game" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">democracynow.org/2025/4/15/ale</span><span class="invisible">x_gibney_dark_money_game</span></a></p>
