One of the most frequent questions I get is: "Who is in antifa?" Militant antifa groups have secret memberships, but arrest records from riots provide a data set to investigate who is part of movement. I will post public arrest photos here as an on-going project. #AntifaMugshots
At a glance, those arrested at antifa riots are overwhelmingly white & male. There also seems to be a disproportionate amount who identify as queer, non-binary and/or trans. All the information I post is available publicly, either from arrest records or the media. #AntifaMugshots
