Legal Question in Employment Law in California

My boss posts about me on facebook. For example, "I wish I could tell my "cancer" to quit already. To leave and to never ever ever come back. I hate my "cancer", fuck cancer, cancer is stupid." I'm her only employee that is a cancer. But she thinks she is sly by referring to me as an illness. Which I find extremely offensive and disturbing. She posted this after I came to her about a problem I am having with anoter employee. Also one of her assistant managers posted about me the day I came to him in confidence " I had one of my enployees tell me he's the voice of the people. He's stupid. What people. Nobody even likes his stupid ass." On top of that all of the people commenting on their posts seem to know about the "self proclaimed mentally challeneged prophet known as "cancer" as well as several other employees. I'm seriously suffering over this. Knowing when I walk in to work how they look at each other whispering about how the "stupid cancer" just arrived. They also say things to employees that think highly of me and new employees so that they won't want to socialize with me. Unfortunately this is the only job I have right now and nobody seems to be calling me back... If I can get an employee or two to sign a written statement verifying this as truth can I sue the pants off of this company?

No. Your facts describe a disfunctional workplace, but that is not illegal and does not give rise to any kind of legal basis for suing anyone.
