I feel like we've been saying this forever but it's worth saying again.

They usher in an era of censorship, fascism, violent scapegoating.
Authors, join the fight:

Plan C: Give the birds guns. With guns, the birds can kill each other, and then we won’t have to do anything yucky. Plus, it’ll be a great way to use all the extra guns we have lying around.
