Know your rights: What protesters can and can't do as 'Good Trouble' rallies sweep Indiana
For those planning to join the rallies, here's what you should know about your protected rights and what actions should be avoided.
Protesters are granted certain freedoms under the First Amendment, including the right to:
These rights come with limitations, however.
Though not exhaustive, here are a few rules Hoosier protesters must follow, according to the ACLU of Indiana.

Yes, police can shut down a protest through a dispersal order, according to the ACLU of Indiana, but it must be used as a last resort in the following situations:
If officers choose to do so, they must provide protesters a reasonable opportunity to comply with the order, including sufficient time and a clear, unobstructed exit path, ACLU says.
Police should give demonstrators clear instructions concerning the dispersal order before they are arrested or charged with any crime, according to ACLU.
This includes how much time demonstrators have to disperse, the consequences of failing to do so, and a clear exit route they can follow.
The ACLU of Indiana suggests the following:
The "Good Trouble Lives On" demonstrations are being held to protest recent actions by President Donald Trump and his administration.
The organized demonstration borrows part of its name from the late Congressman John Lewis, and will involve gatherings across dozens of Indiana cities, including Indianapolis, Bloomington, Evansville and Fort Wayne.
The organizers of "Good Trouble Lives On" define the movement on their website as "a national day of action to respond to the attacks on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration."
The website urges readers to fight back against the recent "brazen rollback of civil rights," including attacks on voting rights, limiting freedom of protest and stripping of essential services.
Using the term coined by Lewis, "Good Trouble" refers to the act of coming together peacefully to challenge injustice and create meaningful change, according to the site.
A majority of the protests are scheduled on July 17, the fifth anniversary of Lewis' death.

The times and addresses of the July 17-19 protests scheduled in Indiana can be found below. Rallies without addresses are marked as private events, which can be joined via the Good Trouble Lives On website.

GOP Rep. Tim Burchett doubles down on call for release of Epstein files
Tennessee Republican Rep. Tim Burchett on Sunday again called for the release of the Department of Justice's evidence against the late accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, part of a growing cadre of Republicans calling for transparency in the case. Speaking with "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz, Burchett said he wanted the Epstein files to be released, but cautioned against releasing material that might expose the identities of victims and others in the files who may be innocent. But Burchett pushed back against criticism leveled by President Donald Trump, who earlier this week called Republicans demanding the release of the documents 'foolish' and baselessly claimed the Epstein files were a hoax concocted by Democrats. 'Was I a little ticked off he said that stuff? Sure, I was, but I'm a big boy, Ma'am,' Burchett said. 'We're playing in the big leagues right now.' Trump has since directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to move to unseal grand jury evidence in Epstein's case, which Burchett called 'a start.' 'I don't think we're ever going to get to the bottom of … all of it, Ma'am,' Burchett said. 'You know, this town doesn't give up its secrets very easy.' Asked by Raddatz if he believed Bondi should resign, Burchett said he criticized her communication on the issue but stopped short of calling for her to step down. 'I have a saying: It's not how you start, it's how you finish. If she finishes strong on this, then I'm all for it,' Burchett said. 'I'm sure the learning curve is steep, and I think she blundered in the beginning, I really do, as most Americans do.'

Trump defied the world with truth — and upended the status quo
In less than six months, the entire world has been turned upside down. There is no longer such a thing as conventional wisdom or the status quo. The unthinkable has become the banal. Take illegal immigration — remember the 10,000 daily illegal entries under former President Joe Biden? Recall the only solution was supposedly 'comprehensive immigration reform' — a euphemism for mass amnesties. Now, there is no such thing as daily new illegal immigration. It simply disappeared with common-sense enforcement of existing immigration laws — and a new president. How about the 40,000- to 50,000-soldier shortfall in military recruitment? Remember all the causes the generals cited for their inability to enlist soldiers: generational gangs, obesity, drugs and stiff competition with private industry? And now? In just six months, recruitment targets are already met; the issue is mostly moot. Why? The new Pentagon flipped the old, canceling its racist DEI programs and assuring rural, middle-class Americans — especially white males — that they were not systemically racist after all. Instead, they were reinvited to enlist as the critical combat cohort who died at twice their demographic share in Iraq and Afghanistan. How about the 'end of the NATO crisis,' supposedly brought on by a bullying United States? Now the vast majority of NATO members have met their pledges to spend 2% of GDP on defense, which will soon increase to 5%. Iconic neutrals like Sweden and Finland have become frontline NATO nations, arming to the teeth. The smiling NATO secretary-general even called Donald Trump the 'daddy' of the alliance. What about indomitable, all-powerful, theocratic Iran, the scourge of the Middle East for nearly 50 years? Although it had never won a war in the last half-century, its terrorist surrogates — Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis — were supposedly too dangerous to provoke. Now? Most of its expeditionary terrorists are neutered, and their leaders are in hiding or dead. Iran has no air force, no real navy, no air defenses and no active nuclear-weapons program. Its safety apparently depends only on the mood of the United States or Israel on any given day not to fly into its airspace and take out its missiles, nuclear sites, generals or theocrats at will. What happened to the supposedly inevitable recession, hyperinflation, stock-market collapse, unemployment spikes and global trade war that last spring economists assured us would hit by summer? Job growth is strong, and April's inflation rate is the lowest in four years. GDP is still steady. The stock market hit a record high. Trade partners are renegotiating their surpluses with the United States. It turns out that staying in the US consumer market is the top priority of our trading partners. It seems their preexisting and mostly undisclosed profits were large enough to afford reasonable symmetrical tariffs. For now, news of tax cuts, deregulation, 'drill baby, drill' energy policies displacing Green New Deal strangulation and $8 trillion to $10 trillion in potential foreign investment has encouraged — rather than deterred — business. Then there were our marquee elite universities, whose prestige, riches and powerful alumni made them answerable to no one. And now, after the executive and congressional crackdown on their decades of hubris? Supposedly brilliant university presidents have resigned in shame. The public has caught on to their grant surcharge gouging. Campuses have backed off their arrogant defiance of the Supreme Court's civil rights rulings. They are panicked about the public exposure of their systemic antisemitism. They are scrambling to explain away their institutionalized ideological bias and their tawdry profit-making schemes and mass recruitment of wealthy foreign students from illiberal regimes. So, the mighty Ivy League powerhouses are now humbling themselves to cut a deal to save their financial hides and hopefully return to their proper mission of disinterested education. What happened to the trans juggernaut of sex as a social construct and its bookend gospel that biological men could dominate women's sports? People woke up. They were no longer afraid to state that sex is binary and biologically determined — and that biological men who dominate women's sports are bullies, not heroes. Where are the millionaire scamming architects of BLM now? Where is the 'DEI now, tomorrow, and forever' conventional wisdom? Where are Professor Ibram X. Kendi and his $30,000 Zoom lessons on how to fight racism by being racist? They have all been exposed as the race hustlers they always were. Their creed that it is OK for supposed victims to be racist victimizers themselves was exposed as an absurd con. So, what flipped everything? We were living in an 'emperor has no clothes' make-believe world for the last few years. The people knew establishment narratives were absurd, and our supposed experts were even more ridiculous. But few — until now — had the guts to scream 'the emperor is naked' to dispel the fantasies. When they finally did, reality returned. Victor Davis Hanson is a distinguished fellow of the Center for American Greatness.

‘Priced for Perfection': Tariffs Loom Over Richly Valued Stocks
(Bloomberg) -- The conventional wisdom on Wall Street appears to be that the US stock market's latest march to records has been unabated because, when it comes to tariff threats, President Donald Trump talks loudly but carries a small stick. Why the Federal Reserve's Building Renovation Costs $2.5 Billion The Dutch Intersection Is Coming to Save Your Life Milan Corruption Probe Casts Shadow Over Property Boom Mumbai Facelift Is Inspired by 200-Year-Old New York Blueprint How San Jose's Mayor Is Working to Build an AI Capital Yet, regardless of what the levies on imports from remaining trading partners end up being when Trump makes his final decisions, some prominent voices in the market say investors are underestimating the risks even from tariffs that are already in place. Duties paid by US importers have jumped to an average rate of more than 13%, over five times where they were last year, Bloomberg Economics estimates. Higher tariffs are enough to slash 5% or more from corporate earnings growth, according to Alastair Pinder, head of global equity strategy at HSBC. With the S&P 500 Index trading at about 22 times forward earnings, near its richest valuations in the post-Covid era, the concern is that any disappointments in corporate profits and economic data during the remainder of the year could pull the rug out from under the latest rally. 'Because we are priced for perfection, any disappointment, deviation from that on the downside, we could see stocks re-rate,' said Paul Nolte, market strategist and senior wealth adviser at Murphy & Sylvest Wealth Management in Dallas. 'There's a balloon wandering around Wall Street looking for a pin, and nobody knows what that pin is. It could well be this.' How much damage could that pin do to high-flying stock indexes? To Nolte, the market is vulnerable to a true bear market: a selloff of 20% or more. Bracing For Turbulence Even some of Wall Street's most-outspoken bulls are bracing for turbulence as the tariffs start doing damage to companies' bottom lines. Morgan Stanley Chief US Equity Strategist Mike Wilson, who went from noted bear to full-throated bull after the market selloff earlier in the year, is one of them. While he's optimistic about stocks on a 12-month basis and doesn't see a true bear plunge on the way, he acknowledges the risk that near-term corporate guidance could turn out to be worse than expected and cause some market indigestion. 'There is a third-quarter risk here where you get some of that passthrough, margins are going to be coming down a bit — that's a 5-10% correction,' he said. While it's still early innings in the reporting season for the latest quarterly earnings, anecdotes are starting to pile up suggesting that the tariffs in place are already biting. Companies are subject to multiple broad levies, including 10% on goods from most countries and an additional 20% on China that Trump has linked to fentanyl. General Mills Inc. last month forecast a 1% to 2% hit to its cost of goods sold, which it's working to limit by substituting ingredients and reformulating products. Tommy Bahama owner Oxford Industries Inc. slashed its profit outlook for the year as it accounted for $40 million in additional tariff costs. And economic bellwether Fedex Corp. warned that its earnings would be worse than expected this quarter as the trade war continues to pressure its business, including highly profitable US-China shipments. Wall Street will get new numbers to chew on this week when several large companies with exposure to tariffs and the economy report results. General Motors Co. is subject to auto-sector levies, while Capital One Financial Corp.'s quarterly update may shed light on the strength of the US consumer. On a more macro level, there are hints that tariffs may already be appearing in the fine print of economic reports. Tuesday's inflation data showed that core consumer-price gains accelerated in June, and tariff-exposed categories such as furniture and apparel suggested companies are starting to pass higher costs on to consumers. Louder warning signs may be on the way. HSBC's Pinder is watching for retail sales to weaken later in the year, and for prices to pick up after companies burn through stockpiles of goods that they bought when tariff rates were lower. Slower Growth All told, the current tariff rates will leave the US economy some 1.6% smaller over the next two to three years, compared to a scenario without the levies, Bloomberg Economics estimates. Consumer prices will end up 0.9% higher, the economists say. Any further pickup — or even stickiness — in inflation could dash equity investors' hopes for interest-rate cuts this year regardless of how many insults Trump hurls at Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Of course, not all bulls are cowering. Many on Wall Street see reasons stocks can remain at pricey levels. Declining interest rates, low unemployment and elevated corporate profitability justify sky-high valuations, according to Goldman Sachs strategists. In addition, there's the tax and spending bill that Trump signed into law this month, which made permanent several corporate tax deductions. The bill alone is worth 5% to 7% in S&P 500 earnings growth, according to Morgan Stanley's Wilson. Investors 'came into this year with the expectation that the Trump administration would create some more austerity,' said Nathan Sonnenberg, chief investment officer of family office firm Pitcairn. With the passage of the spending bill, he said, 'we've realized that there will be more of a stimulative effect.' Still, the US president's unpredictable nature means that any attempts to jot down estimates of the financial and economic impact of his tariff policies should be done in pencil, not ink. While Trump has backed down from some of his most aggressive tariff threats, there's lingering risk that aggregate levels will rise significantly by his latest deadline of Aug. 1. Indonesia will face a 19% baseline tariff even after the country struck a trade deal with the US. Trump has announced that goods from Vietnam will have a 20% rate, although Bloomberg has reported that those talks are ongoing. 'It's the wrong reaction to look past these tariffs and to move on,' UBS Chief Strategist Bhanu Baweja said Monday on Bloomberg TV.
