Eppo Tjuchem wrote that someone on De Dam was unrecognizably covered, with Al-Qassam on the forehead and a Hezbollah flag. He wondered whether there was a ban on facial coverings or terror propaganda in Amsterdam under Mayor Halsema. https://t.co/61UALCxuYq #Amsterdam #terreur #vrijheid (translated)

Eppo Tjuchem wrote that people he referred to as Antifa supporters and anarchists had given him the middle finger during the housing protest yesterday. He said they remained unrecognizable behind scarves and hoods and acted anonymously tough in front of a reporter. #Woonprotest https://t.co/gmAvOaXFo0 #Antifa #Protest #Anarchisme (translated)

Eppo Tjuchem wrote that on stage at De Dam a song was performed that, according to him, amounted to a musical explanation about burglary. He described it as propaganda for squatting and destruction, wrapped in a cheerful guitar song, and claimed that it was a demand for self-invented rights to avoid paying rent. #Woonprotest #Woonprotest #muziek #protest (translated)

Eppo Tjuchem wrote that during a housing protest at De Dam, climate, refugees, and Palestine were mentioned alongside the housing market. According to him, no one could explain the substantive connection, and various fixed action points were brought back to the table. #Woonprotest https://t.co/aSj8DXCuoE #klimaat #vluchtelingen #woningmarkt (translated)

Eppo Tjuchem wrote that someone waved at the fans and then quickly ran to the police. He wondered what was so urgently discussed with the officers at the end of the sit-in and suggested that it might possibly be another attempt to have an independent reporter sent away. #Groningen #7oktober https://t.co/Qt7bwx3nST #Groningen #SitIn #Vrijheid (translated)

Eppo Tjuchem wrote that a next woman with a megaphone shouted through the station tunnel with an even shriller sound. According to him, she made even more noise without a megaphone. He wrote that he could take a few steps away, while his followers on the ground had to endure the full volume. The message was accompanied by the hashtags #Groningen and #7october. #Groningen #7oktober #Groningen #Lawaai #Demonstratie (translated)

Eppo Tjuchem wrote that the demonstrators arrived ten minutes late and with at most 40 people to the tunnel under Station Groningen for their sit-in. According to him, the turnout on October 7, which he called a sensitive date, was noticeably much smaller than last year and the protest mood seemed to have passed its peak. #Groningen #7oktober #demonstratie #protest #zorgen (translated)

Eppo Tjuchem wrote that senior activist Wim Velema reacted unfavorably to his camera before a Gaza sit-in at Groningen Station and threatened to call the police. Tjuchem stated that Groningen activists protested loudly three years after the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, but, according to him, showed no sympathy for the victims. He also wrote that they threatened reporters with police involvement and wanted to drive the press away while asserting their right to protest. #Groningen #7oktober #Groningen #vrijheidvanmeningsuiting #demonstratie (translated)

Eppo Tjuchem wrote that Paul was trying to manipulate the rules for public space on the Grote Markt according to him and reacted aggressively when he saw a camera. Tjuchem stated that his partner, Jeltje Kok-Kromkamp, just managed to stop him before it turned physical. He spoke ironically about the tolerance at Klimaatalarm and questioned whether Paul's pent-up frustration was related to his 1920s house, which according to Tjuchem had an energy label of F. #Klimaatalarm #Klimaatalarm #Energietransitie #PubliekeRuimte (translated)

Eppo Tjuchem wrote that a woman who demonstrated for the climate at the Grote Markt held her hand in front of the camera lens when she saw the camera. According to him, with a warm coffee mug in her hand, she was giving a lesson on press rights and tried to make the filmmaker feel guilty. Tjuchem stated that protesters could be filmed in that location and asked if the woman would personally appreciate it if someone filmed her mother that way. #Klimaatalarm #Klimaat #Persrecht #Actie (translated)

Eppo Tjuchem wrote that XR activists in Groningen wanted to fall down for a 'die-in' at 12 o'clock in the Grote Markt during the Climate Alarm. He sarcastically noted that they first removed glass shards from the cobblestones with a broom and dustpan so they wouldn't injure themselves during their simulated death. According to Tjuchem, safety was thus paramount in their fight against the end times. #Klimaatalarm #Klimaat #Groningen #XR (translated)

Eppo Tjuchem wrote that an attempt to get a close look at the infamous NS toilet was stranded because François Meyer had once again positioned himself as a human wall, just like on May 19. He also wrote that the Mina’s in the background had again struck a false note. https://t.co/uKq4PmSeMm #NS #toilet #humor (translated)

Eppo Tjuchem criticized Antifa Groningen because, according to him, the group entered a Jumbo store with meters-long flagpoles while a participant was checking out oat milk at the self-scan. He wrote that the protesters did not want to roll up the poles because they would see that as a limitation of their right to protest. According to Tjuchem, they mainly wanted to attract attention and seek problems. #kapitalisme #demonstratierecht #Antifa (translated)

Eppo Tjuchem wrote that he arrived in Groningen just too late on Thursday due to delays at NS to document the station occupation. According to him, the hardcore of Antifa Groningen nevertheless entered the city center with flags, in a column of two men. He asked where the demonstration would continue. #Antifa #Groningen #demonstratie (translated)

Eppo Tjuchem wrote that he walked around a demonstrator to look at the back of their sign. According to Tjuchem, the demonstrator turned 180 degrees, held a shield of silver foil in front of his face, and looked under the sign with a camera. https://t.co/F1fTmEofFQ #kunst #demonstratie #creativiteit (translated)

The Grandparents for the Climate are pushing through so strongly that the dog has given up and has to be carried in the arms. 🐶 Dragging a carnivorous four-legged friend with a significant CO2 footprint during a climate demonstration: the contradiction at least looks endearing. https://t.co/ZI9OoHVfMB #Klimaat #Dieren #Duurzaamheid (translated)

"Rot op! Dat is van het CIDI!" Volgens deze mevrouw sta ik op de loonlijst van het CIDI. Was het maar waar: een vast contract met royale secundaire arbeidsvoorwaarden zou op straat best een uitkomst zijn.

"Je framet mensen online en daar word ik niet vrolijk van." — Niels Niessen op 30 augustus in Utrecht. Van 'niet zo vrolijk worden' in Utrecht naar fysiek uithalen naar de camera in Leiden. De academische verdraagzaamheid heeft zo te zien een heel korte spanningsboog. https://t.co/q11VntQwUo #Utrecht #Leiden #AcademischeVrijheid

Dr. Niels Niessen heet de man met de losse handjes dus. Afgelopen weekend in Leiden, en op 4 juli ook al vooraan bij de A12-bezetting in Utrecht. In zijn artikelen schrijft deze cultuurwetenschapper geëngageerd over 'sociale veiligheid'. Bijzonder geloofwaardig voor iemand die op straat geen enkel respect opbrengt voor de fysieke veiligheid van de pers. Dure theorieën voor de bühne, fysieke intimidatie in de praktijk. #SocialeVeiligheid #Cultuurwetenschap #Persvrijheid
