I checked Twitter and Googled, I can't find anything, if you find out please let us know.
Actually it did help a little, it's frustrating because it feels like I should be able to read it. Is that a oppussum?

Actually, I found it to be more of a neutral symbol, I even found a couple of the images of it on the LGBTQ flag.
Someone in the comments below, suggested perhaps it's street art? Also they thought the sign may say, Great Wall around the USA?

it with MAGA. That's weird and there wasn't really anything I would consider right wing, in the first probably 20 images.

It looks like some street art. Probably by a homeless veteran.

That’s my first impression.

"Don’t Tread on Me (yellow). One of several DToM flags, this bright yellow flag with a rattlesnake is known as the Gadsden (Mr. Gadsden was from South Carolina). It was an early Marine Corps flag and flown as a ship jack on some of the early pre-revolution and continental ships. The rattlesnake, representing the Colonies (and later the thirteen states) was first used by Benjamin Franklin in 1851 in one of his publications. The flag, as it is, is believed to have first flown c. 1774."
