This is very incomplete advice for the given threat scenario of "fearful of government persecution".
> Snagging a cheap or used device is a good option
Cheap devices may well phone home and a used device may be tampered with. I was surprised when reflashing a burner Xiaomi device to see the bootloader contained a nod to the CCP.
> Navigate to WordPress.com and setup a free account with that new email address.
Certainly Wordpress is not an ideal platform here from a security standpoint. You want a blogging platform that is overwhelmingly dumb - raw html files with minimal formatting would be perfect.
> Feel free to use a VPN
Don't use a VPN without knowing who it is owned by and seeing audit reports and even then be skeptical.
