My dad keeps abusing my family and getting away with it

Basically, my dad started flipping out over the pans not being in the spot he wanted them to be in the kitchen cabinet. Instead of politely asking my mom to make sure that they end up in the right spot, he started screaming and cussing at her, who was in the middle of making him breakfast. He said that he didn’t want us (me and my sister, maybe her boyfriend) using them anymore, and that he didn’t want her to make him breakfast. He then, out of nowhere, threatened to break my sister’s new computer that was given to her by her boyfriend, presumably because it was on the kitchen counter, and he always pulls the “it’s in the way” card. Thankfully he didn’t break it. I was in the bathroom getting ready for work, and when it got quiet, I went over to the basement door to finish my laundry, since I could get there quickly. As I was walking downstairs, he said to me “I need you guys to put things back where they go”. I ignored him, cuz I felt like whatever I said would either set him off more, or set me off. He then said “You hear me?” And I had no choice but to respond “yeah, I heard you.” He began to get more aggressive, and out of my view I heard him slam something, which was either the pans or the breakfast. I then heard him say “yeah, clean that up”. This is not the first time he’s done this by the way, and although they’re long stories, he has physically attacked my mom and even my little sister before. I don’t feel safe in this house, and nor does anyone else, even if they refuse to admit it. I’m tired and I feel out of options, because I don’t know how my mom would react, considering that she’s let this slide so many times, and if I get kicked out, I’m not financially responsible enough to find a place to stay, or even live. I’m not ready to be by myself, but this has gone on for years, and I’m tired. What should I do?
