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.

After clawing her way to the top at Red Lobster, Edna Morris is out as the chain’s president for letting hungry customers eat too much of its all-you-can-eat crab dinners.
clawing her way to the top: such amazing journalism
As long as I keep clicking, the machine keeps making paper clips, line go up…
It was the renaissance, the building codes weren't as strict
It's there so that if the Infotainment system faults you can still move the vehicle around safely
Out of the dumpster fire and into the cess pit…
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.
Can we talk about the weird painting/photo of Mitt and his seven kids?

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"
Same strategy as "School Choice" or "Parent's Rights", the first was created to suck money out of the public school infrastructure and put an end to quality free public schooling, the second to basically make children property again.
