Let’s say I live in a police state. How can I publish a blog with complete anonymity? If I am found out, there is a high chance of imprisonment or death. What can I do so that the government cannot discover my identity?
I need a blog or website where I can publish articles, with a mailing list feature so I can send those articles out to subscribers.
What tools should I use? What steps should I take to protect myself?
I would greatly appreciate any information or resources that can help me with this.

The blog part: create an
.onionor.i2psite. Or create a site elsewhere but always do any related tasks through Tor at the very least (including account creation and email usage).Not so sure about the mailing list part.

Yes, I will exclusively use TOR for this purpose.

If you have that threat level, I hope you are already protecting yourself against spying on your web searches. With no protections, you could easily become a target by just looking any of these things up.

Thank you, I am being careful with that.

Mastodon via tor.

If you live in such a suppressed area. Tor might be your best bet. Hosting the site on a .onion address.

I could use TOR, but sadly it is unrealistic to expect everyone else to use TOR so a .onion address won't work.

I think you can publish on many ordinary (micro)blogging platforms through Tor, but you'll need a valid email address.
So the problem is reduced to: how can you get a valid email address through Tor that is not linked to either a phone number, your real identity, your credit card, or another email address that has any of these pieces of information stored.
I have never needed to do this, but to my knowledge, there are email providers where that is possible. Another user linked to privacytools.io where I can find this list https://www.privacytools.io/privacy-email - so that may be a place to start.

I find rentry.co/ really useful if you are planning on posting a few blogs, Like for example you can make these pages through tor or a vpn
rentry.co/Liam
rentry.co/Liam-CIA-Blocks-God
rentry.co/Liam-I-Vaporized-Elon
Just make text backups of the pages in case they are taken down

I don't think the tools on privacytools.io fit your requirements (maybe globaleaks) but this site is a good start
https://www.privacytools.io/blogs https://www.privacytools.io/private-hosting https://www.privacytools.io/secure-whistleblower
Also some of the privacy messengers here (like Briar) have blogging/forum features similar to Telegram, but you can't access them via a browser, so you would have to get everyone to install those apps:
https://www.privacytools.io/privacy-messaging
But realistically speaking like the others suggested: Tor, I2P, Zeronet, etc..

many people incorrectly assume briar aims to provide some sort of anonymity, because it uses tor onion services and is a self-described "secure messenger". however, that is not the case:
https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/wikis/FAQ#does-briar-provide-anonymity (answer: no)
tldr: briar contacts, even when only actually using onions, exchange their bluetoooth MAC addresses and their most recent IPv6 link-local address and last five IPv4 addresses briar has seen bound to their wlan interfaces, just in case you're ever physically near a contact and want to automatically connect to them locally.
