Sherrilyn Ifill: Progress happens when you find ways to make it matter. And sometimes it's just your persistence.

Drives me crazy. If you don’t want to fight say so. Stop trying to discourage others from doing the work you’re too jaded to do.
You try 50 times and win the 51st. That’s how it works. Progress happens when you find ways to make it matter. And sometimes it’s just your persistence.

My least favorite people are the progressives who jump to say “it won’t matter” every time someone makes a suggestion. “They won’t care.” Maybe that’s considered a good contribution to progress where you’re from but I actually think you’re more damaging than anything else.

Sage advice for everyone.
