Ask HN - I just left my job today and I'm really confused. Need urgent advice

I submitted a thread yesterday asking for advice regarding my relationship with the project manager on my (ex)team [1].

Today after speaking with him again, he showed very little willingness to discuss anything, and simply cut me off and repeated the same accusations he made yesterday. I decided that there was no longer any reason for me to stay, so I gave notice by the end of the day.

He asked me when I wanted to leave, and I said today as I had already spoken to the only other dev on my team and committed and pushed all my code along with documentation I wanted to leave for the other dev. He threatened (implied) that "people" would be pissed if I didn't come in tomorrow, so I agreed to go tomorrow for knowledge transfer.

However, 3 hours ago, he removed all access from my Basecamp, Bitbucket, and Trello accounts. I know because I checked the company GMail to make sure he didn't suddenly send an email telling me I didn't need to go. Just now, I tried to check company email again, but it was disabled. My impression is that at the very least, my email should not be disabled until I am completely "gone". I'm not sure if this is standard practice, but now I am not sure if I should still be showing up tomorrow. I feel like I will arrive with my key disabled after 1 hour and 20 minutes of commute.

Any advice/suggestions would be much appreciated. It is 11:46PM here in Vancouver so I really don't know what I am supposed to do.
