On 4/21/21 at 12:07 AM EDT
The Las Vegas Raiders faced online backlash Tuesday after posting I Can Breathe following former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin s conviction for the murder of George Floyd.
The Twitter account of the NFL franchise shared an image showing bold white type against a black background reading I CAN BREATHE 4-20-21 above the team s logo. Raiders owner Mark Davis told The Athletic that the post was intended to echo words from Floyd s brother Philonise Floyd after the Chauvin conviction, who said that the family was able to breathe again, and would not be taken down.

State Department to issue Do Not Travel advisories for 80 percent of countries
The coronavirus pandemic is continuing to pose an unprecedented risk to travelers, the State Department said Monday, and travel advisories are being updated to outline current issues affecting travelers health.
The changes better reflect the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention s travel health notices, the State Department said, and will result in a significant increase in the number of countries at Level 4: Do Not Travel, to approximately 80 percent of countries worldwide. The advisories also take into account logistical factors, the State Department said, like in-country testing availability and current travel restrictions for U.S. citizens.
