The headline is agit-prop, letting an extremist group label themselves with some misleading name like "Medical Freedom" is as bad ad repeating the "Death Tax" or "School Freedom" talking points, which is how we lost the estate tax and quality free public schools.
Now, in this case, you’ve run into slang usage that only loosely adheres to the dictionary usage.
Honestly, I think this usage is very much the dictionary sense of "appealing in a pretty or endearing way". "cute" covers a range of attractiveness or appeal in a way that applies across the spectrum of more specific compliments. It's a safe complement to use, no-one is likely to be offended where "sexy" or "hot" is more loaded and explicit.
It's also a more implied/less explicit way to say "sexy" (e.g. that's a cute guy) and also works for non-sexualized things like babies and pets so again, it's a safer choice.
The education freedom section is worse, they equate undermining the public education system with "freedom" and while they didn't weigh home schooling highly, they counted any kind of state standards or curriculum requirements for home school as "unfree"

Seems like it would work particularly well with a sweet pickle, concentrating the vinegar and salt flavors is going to make them really strong, sweetness would help balance it out a bit.
I'd even consider making a custom batch with a lighter seasoning (like summer style fridge cucumbers), so it's more like cucumber chips with vinegar and salt.
