AnarchoNinaAnalyzesIt's honestly a little difficult to properly express how hard the Trump regime is leaning into its "villain in a Captain Planet cartoon" schtick with how quickly they're working to gut environmental regulations, strip mine the country, and turn the planet to ash. Furthermore, you can tell it's a real priority for the Kelpto Kaiser, his rich donors, and his fascist administration because of the extreme lengths the regime is willing to go to, in order to (not so) plausibly grant itself the power to do so.Take for example the US interior department's announcement that they're going to fast track permit approvals for fossil fuel and mining projects on currently protected lands; and by "fast track" we mean reduce the length of the process to the point that the government is basically just rubberstamping mining projects. Their justification for doing so? Trump's executive order declaring an “energy emergency” which the regime argues, grants them extraordinary powers to quickly strip mine national monuments without consultation, or something. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/24/interior-agency-fossil-fuel-mining-permits" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/24/interior-agency-fossil-fuel-mining-permits</a>US interior agency to fast track permits for fossil fuel and mining projects"The US interior department has announced plans to radically fast track permitting for projects involving fossil fuels and mining citing Donald Trump’s ‘energy emergency’ declaration that many experts say does not exist.The move would reduce to a maximum of 28 days permitting procedures that previously could take multiple years, the department said late Wednesday.Green groups immediately criticized the plans to boost planet-heating fossil fuels and questioned their legality describing them as an extreme change to the nation’s core environment laws.The department said that reviews that now typically take around a year would be reduced to just 14 days while a full environment impact statement that usually took two years would now take less than a month."Obviously this is an extraordinarily bad idea for too many reasons to list fully here; not the least of which being that there is no energy emergency because the United States is already "extracting more oil and gas than any other country in world history." On a boiling planet run by genocidal billionaires, the last damn thing anyone needs is the US government helping Trump's fossil fuel industry donors mine more oil and gas we shouldn't be burning out of the ground on federally protected lands. I'm not surprised environmental groups are planning to sue to stop this, and I hope they win; assuming court orders mean anything to this administration at all - it's currently not clear that they do.A moment must also be spared to note however that this is yet another example of Trump's strategy to expand his executive powers in ways that fracture the rule of law, by declaring a bunch of made up emergencies. At this point, I highly doubt that most Americans even know that the Trump administration has declared no less than 8 "national emergencies" to increase his power to do (mostly) fascist shit; that's how often the regime has gone to this well. There is no more an "energy emergency" in America, than there is an "invasion" by "narco-terrorist gangs" occurring on our southern border. The regime is merely pretending these things are true, and pointing to Trump's delusional edicts to justify enforcing this "unreality" as if they were true; but at the end of the day the Emperor really is bare ass naked, and reality isn't a game of nazi Simon Says. <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DepartmentOfInterior" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DepartmentOfInterior</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DougBurgum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DougBurgum</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/BigOil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigOil</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FossilFuels</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mining</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Capitalism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Corruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Corruption</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/NationalEmergency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NationalEmergency</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Autocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Autocracy</a>
