The kids I know only raid the refrigerator. Slowly, with one hand, so they don't drop their phone, and whining "there's nothing to eat." What they mean is that there is nothing cooked to immediately gobble down. Pretty sure they are unaware of the existence of "mailboxes."

It's not impossible that some actual Antifa guys have co-opted the red triangle.

But since Antifa isn't an organization, it doesn't have any official logo or anything. This is why protest groups are leaderless these days; Authoritarians are too good at subverting and destroying any actual organization.
