Racist boss fired me when I called out sick – advice?

So I've been working in an incredibly toxic all-female place where my colleagues and my manager were just racist and passive-aggressive from day 1.

She decided to continue retaliating from that point on with extending our in-office hours to screw with commute, and other petty stuff I have documented.

I was sick so I called in today, and she decided to terminate me through email and wants me to bring in my WFH equipment tomorrow to the office in the email (I have no car and my city public transit is shutdown indefinitely). I already applied for unemployment and feel a weight off my shoulders but how to go about this?
